Lisa Sterle's stylish illustrations paired with Maggie Tokuda-Hall's sharp writing make Squad a fierce, haunting, and fast-paced thriller that will resonate with fans of Riverdale, and with readers of This Savage Song, Lumberjanes, and Paper Girls. As their pack begins to buckle under the pressure, their moral high ground gets muddier and muddier-and Becca realizes that she might have feelings for one of her new best friends. Eager to be accepted, Becca allows her friends to turn her into a werewolf, and finally, for the first time in her life, she feels like she truly belongs.īut then things get complicated. Their prey? Slimy boys who take advantage of unsuspecting girls. But I personally found it closer to Mean. Squad is described as Pretty Little Liars meets Teen Wolf, which is apt. But at a party under a full moon, Becca learns that they also have a big secret.īecca's new friends are werewolves. Of course, I was really excited to pick up Squad, illustrated by Lisa Sterle and written by Maggie Tokuda-Hall, who wrote the queer fantasy The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea (which you should check out if you get the chance). At first glance, Marley, Arianna, and Mandy are perfect.

To her surprise, she's immediately adopted by the most popular girls in school. When Becca transfers to a high school in an elite San Francisco suburb, she's worried she's not going to fit in. When the new girl is invited to join her high school's most popular clique, she can't believe her luck-and she can't believe their secret, either. Pretty Little Liars meets Teen Wolf in this sharply funny, and patriarchy-smashing graphic novel from author Maggie Tokuda-Hall and artist Lisa Sterle. Author Maggie Tokuda-Hall ( Love in the Library, The Mermaid and the Sea, SQUAD) will bring her wit and personality to the stage as emcee for the event, and legendary science fiction writer Connie Willis will grace the evening as the guest speaker.
