So amazing. I love D&D and this was beautifully made. Makes me wish I found D&D when I was younger

I found this graphic novel to be so charming. It was well-written and fun and the art was awesome too! As someone who loves to play DnD, this book used the game to explain how the character felt and how they wished to be like their playable characters. I enjoyed seeing them play as well as the obstacles that they went through during school. Making friends can be scary and hard and accepting change is also something that this graphic novel touches on. I highly recommend it.

I didn't think I'd ever find something of Ostertag's that I liked. I'm definitely going to have to check out more of Xanthe's work - absolutely stunning illustrations.

From New York Times bestselling author Molly Knox Ostertag and critically acclaimed illustrator Xanthe Bouma comes an all new Dungeons & Dragons teen graphic novel series!
Jess and Olivia, besties since they were little, have their own Dungeons & Dragons world. Jess struggles when Olivia decides to open up their group to other kids. What ensues is an exploration of friendship and the complexity of high school dynamics. A quick and easy read, this will be a graphic novel that will hopefully encourage teens to look into the fantasy world of D&D, to consider the true nature of high school friendships, and to think about how sometimes getting outside your comfort zone will open more exciting doors and opportunities.
This is def a good one to get into the school library!
Thanks to the publisher for sending me this for an honest review.
