Squad is a YA graphic novel that I picked up for my classroom. It addresses the desire to fit in as well as young women's desire to feel powerful and does both with a heaping dose of the paranormal. While I understand the goal of the story, the characters are a bit too far over the line of morally gray to be likeable, even if you can sympathize with them, in my opinion.
