'Dragon Racer' with story and art by Joey Weiser is a graphic novel sequel to Ghost Hog. If you haven't read that one, I suggest starting there.
Truff and her friends Claude and Stanley are minding their own business when Vern comes crashing in to their neighborhood. He is practicing for a big race that he is determined to win this year. He invites his new friends to come visit at the temple he lives at, but the other residents are wary of Truff, until Truff is needed to help Vern save someone.
I liked this graphic novel for younger readers. The characters are fun as is the story. The art is bright and colorful and I think young readers will really like this.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Oni Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

I read this via Netgalley.
I enjoyed the illustrations and that everyone realized how mean they had been to Vern, but the story was just okay for me. While it's not necessary to read Ghost Hog to understand what's going on in this story, I did find it odd that the mythology built up in that book seem to be abandoned when it came to Dragon Racer. That said, this story will still have a lot of appeal to the early elementary crowd.

D'AWWWWWWWWWWWW. This is such a fun, vibrant, adorably colourful graphic novel with an art style that reminds me of Steven Universe and Gravity Falls. Everything about this is just adorable and good-hearted and it will definitely leave a smile on your face.
Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.
