October 2022 Indie Bestseller New York Times-bestselling author
Claribel A. Ortega and star debut artist Rose Bousamra's Frizzy is
about Marlene, a young Dominican girl whose greatest enemy is the
hair salon! Through her struggles and triumphs, this heartwarming
and gorgeous middle-grade graphic novel shows the radical power of
accepting yourself as you are, frizzy curls and all. Marlene loves
three things: books, her cool Tia Ruby and hanging out with her
best friend Camila. But according to her mother, Paola, the only
thing she needs to focus on is school and "growing up." That means
straightening her hair every weekend so she could have
"presentable", "good hair". But Marlene hates being in the salon
and doesn't understand why her curls are not considered pretty by
those around her. With a few hiccups, a dash of embarrassment, and
the much-needed help of Camila and Tia Ruby--she slowly starts a
journey to learn to appreciate and proudly wear her curly hair.
Like lightning/you strike/fast and free/legs zoom/down field/eyes
fixed/on the checkered ball/on the goal/ten yards to go/can't
nobody stop you/can't nobody cop you... Twelve-year-old Nick is a
football-mad boy who absolutely hates books. In this graphic novel
adaptation of the acclaimed verse novel, football, family, love,
and friendship take centre stage as Nick tries to figure out how to
navigate his parents' break-up, stand up to bullies, and impress
the girl of his dreams. These challenges - which seem even harder
than scoring a tie-breaking, game-winning goal - change his life,
as well as his best friend's.
