The September Book Club – Nimona by ND Stevenson

It’s time for another graphic novel, y’all, and we’re so excited about this silly, adorable, and moving one – Nimona by ND Stevenson (yes, the comic that inspired the recent Netflix film, and yes, the creator of the recent She-Ra reboot!) Join us on September 25th at 7PM ET to talk about this absolutely delightful book that won tons of awards and even more hearts.

Here’s the description:

“Nimona is an impulsive young shapeshifter with a knack for villainy. Lord Ballister Blackheart is a villain with a vendetta. As sidekick and supervillain, Nimona and Lord Blackheart are about to wreak some serious havoc. Their mission: prove to the kingdom that Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin and his buddies at the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics aren’t the heroes everyone thinks they are.

But as small acts of mischief escalate into a vicious battle, Lord Blackheart realizes that Nimona’s powers are as murky and mysterious as her past. And her unpredictable wild side might be more dangerous than he is willing to admit.”

And here are some reviews:

“If you’re going to read one graphic novel this year, make it this one.” – Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Nimona, with all her flaws, breaks away completely from what women are allowed to be in popular fiction.” – Vanity Fair

“From its first panel, Nimona draws you into a narrative combining shark jokes, a shadowy institution and a startling amount of heart. So whether you’re young or old, a comics newbie or a seasoned veteran, make the decision to explore the fantastical world Stevenson has created. You won’t regret it.” – Paste Magazine
