This group of graphic novels will take you on a time traveling, inter-dimensional, coming-of-age journey for a group of 12-year-old girls. I include this choice because of the versatility of the characters. It's easy for the reader to see themselves in any of the leads including Tiff Quilkin, a smart, video game-loving young woman from a mixed-race family. She learns a lot about herself as a Black woman, learns about what it means to have white loved ones in modern society, and learns about what she stands for as an individual. It is her quick thinking that helps the others…

From Amber's list on strong female leads of color.

I watch Stranger Things with total jealousy and this graphic novel came close to capturing the magic of the Duffer Brothers. Paper Girls takes place in the late ‘80s (clearly, I have a type) and has some serious Stand by Me vibes and layers of character-driven imagination on every page. There’s also a heartwarming love story at the center of this engrossing exploration of friendship. 

From Rob's list on to relive those awkward teen years.
