Chloe #1

From the Charmz imprint comes this cheerful opener from Greg Tessier and Amandine, inviting readers into the world of Chloe — a freckled, red-haired girl who grins up from her open journal, pen in hand, with a gray cat perched contentedly on her shoulder. Floating around her are the scattered tokens of a full tween life: a photo, nail polish, perfume, beads, flowers, and hearts that give the whole cover a warm, diaristic energy. If you're looking for an all-ages graphic novel with personality to spare, The New Girl makes an immediately winning first impression.
