Phoebe & Her Unicorn vol 11: Camping with Unicorns by Dana Simpson

School’s out, so Phoebe and her unicorn best friend, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, have the entire summer to play games, visit the pool, and even go camping. Unicorn horns are excellent utensils for roasting things over the campfire, too, even if Marigold prefers toasted apples to s’mores. While exploring in the woods, Phoebe and friends meet a unicorn named Alabaster, who uses a special video game console that’s powered by plants. Throughout her summer adventures, Phoebe learns that being cool isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and that it’s much better to be your true self. It’s all part of the unforgettable experience of Camping with Unicorns.

New middle-grade graphic novel from Scholastic, Nat Enough. First volume in a new series by cartoonist Maria Scrivan introduces Natalie on her first day of middle school as she attempts to overcome her insecurities and navigate this new world. “…gentle and timeless.” –Publishers Weekly. With expressive, comic strip-style art.

Making friends isn’t easy, but losing them is even harder! Natalie has never felt that she’s enough. Athletic enough, stylish enough, or talented enough. And on the first day of middle school, Natalie discovers that things are worse than she thought; now she’s not even cool enough for her best friend, Lily! As Natalie tries to get her best friend back, she learns more about her true self and natural talents. If Natalie can focus on who she is rather than who she isn’t, then she might realize she’s more than enough, just the way she is.

From award-winning French cartoonist Blutch, collecting a diverse array of short stories from the mid-1990s, translated into English for the first time by Matt Madden. And, yes, one sort story features a shape-shifting Robert Mitchum.

A star of French comics imagines America – its movie stars, its history, its fashion – in these tantalizing graphic short stories about everything from love to, yes, the actor Robert Mitchum. Blutch is one of the most inventive storytellers in comics, and nothing reveals it like Mitchum. Serialized and collected in the mid-90s and never before available in English, this is Blutch at his most wide-ranging: from Puritan fever dreams to an encounter with a shape-shifting Robert Mitchum, Blutch builds stories out of his dreams, visions of America, and anything else he can get his hands on.

Summer, 1994. With just two months left before college, Elodie is forced by her mother to take a job as a camp counselor. She doesn’t know the first thing about nature, or sports, or kids for that matter, and isn’t especially interested in learning… but now she’s responsible for a foul-mouthed horde of girls who just might win her over. But just as Elodie starts getting used to her new environment-and close to one of the other counselors-a dark mystery lurking around the camp begins to haunt her dreams.
