Blackwater

By Jeannette Arroyo and Ren Graham

Book Overview

Two boys fall for each other as they dig for clues to a paranormal mystery in this debut queer YA graphic novel, developed from a hit webcomic, set in the haunted town of Blackwater, Maine. The perfect read for Halloween and Summerween.

"For fans of Heartstopper and Teen Wolf." --School Library Journal

Tony Price is a popular high school track star and occasional delinquent aching for his dad's attention and approval. Eli Hirsch is a quiet boy with a chronic autoimmune disorder that has ravaged his health and social life. What happens when these two become unlikely friends (and a whole lot more . . .) in the spooky town of Blackwater, Maine? Werewolf curses, unsavory interactions with the quarterback of the football team, a ghostly fisherman haunting the harbor, and tons of high school drama.

Co-illustrated by Jeannette Arroyo and Ren Graham, who alternate drawing chapters in their own unique and dynamic styles, Blackwater combines spookiness with the irreverent humor of Nimona.
