Riot Recommendations
Today’s Riot Rec theme is: time travel! For anyone who has ever wanted to turn back the clock, here are comics that do just that!
Displacement by Kiku Hughes
Kiku is an ordinary Japaneese American teenager — until she suddenly finds herself stuck in the 1940s, when her grandmother was forcibly relocated to an internment camp just because of her race. This emotional graphic novel is perfect for readers of all ages.
We Can Fix It! by Jess Fink
If you could go back in time and talk to your younger self, would you go for it? In this imaginative memoir, Jess Fink invents a machine that lets her do just that. She revisits herself at various points in her youth to deliver words of wisdom and guide her(self) through difficult times that all too many people can relate to.
In closing, I would like to introduce you all to my new puppy Poppy. I have not introduced her to books yet because she nibbles everything, but I’m sure that will come with time.
