Act

Kayla Miller's Act (2020–present, Houghton Mifflin) follows a group of middle school friends as they navigate student council elections and the complexities of civic engagement. This single-issue comic, written and illustrated by Miller, expands on the world of her earlier graphic novels by focusing on the quiet power of grassroots organizing and finding your voice. A thoughtful, slice-of-life story for young readers, it matters for its gentle but clear-eyed look at how even kids can make a difference in their communities.
