The Awakening Storm by Jaimal Yogis

adventurous lighthearted mysterious tense slow-paced

3.0

 The artwork is snazzy (it’s giving me Webtoon energy lol), but in the first few pages there’s a lot going on story-wise. Grace feels alienated due to her mixed ancestry (Chinese dad, white mom), and her dad tries to cheer her up with surfing. Jump forward three years later, Grace’s going to an international school in Hong Kong. There are some cliché beats, a la wise, old person gifts MC with a magical item/creature, but it works. Tropes aren’t inherently bad, but it’s how you use them. 

As always, I love dragons (Eastern or Western), and I think kids will probably enjoy this one.
