BookShelf Presents Recommended Reads for Fall 2017

The leaves are turning from green to bright explosions of red and orange, shorts and tank tops are replaced by sweaters and jackets, and school's back in session; and along with the change in season comes more graphic novels for readers to enjoy!

BookShelf offers a list of recommendations from the fall's upcoming releases to help ease the transition from summer heat to winter chill including The Tea Dragon Society from Oni Press, Lighter Than My Shadow from Lion Forge, and Saga Volume 8 from Image Comics.

For a description of the featured graphic novels as well as the full list of recommended reads by age group, see below.

Fall 2017 Lists

The Tea Dragon Society

From the author of Princess Princess Ever After comes The Tea Dragon Society, a charming all-ages book that follows the story of Greta, a blacksmith apprentice as she becomes entwined in the enchanting world of tea dragons. She learns about the art of tea dragon care-taking from tea shop owners, Hesekiel and Erik, and sees how the craft enriches their lives and her own.

Fall Titles for Kids
(Ages 4+)

Lighter Than My Shadow

Like most kids, Katie was a picky eater. She'd sit at the table in silent protest, hide uneaten toast in her bedroom, listen to parental threats that she'd have to eat it for breakfast. But in life a set of circumstance and normal behavior might soon shade into something deadly. One day you can find yourself being told you have two weeks to live.

Fall Titles for Young Adults
(Ages 13+)

Saga Volume 8

From the award-winning creator Brian K. Vaughan and critically acclaimed artist Fiona Staples comes the eight volume of the epic sci-fi drama. After the traumatic events of the War for Phang, Hazel, her parents, and their surviving companions embark on a life-changing adventure at the westernmost edge of the universe.

Fall Titles for Mature Readers
(Ages 16+)
