Graphic Novel Club will meet twice during the month of April. We will review the first half of the graphic novel on the 13th and the second half on the 27th. Participants can pick up their graphic novel to check out on the 2nd floor of the library, or via the library’s curbside pick-up service. Our graphic novel for the month is Superman Smashes the Klan by Gene Luen Yang and Gurihiru. Books will be available to pick up beginning March 23rd. RSVP for this event above to receive the Zoom link via email!

Make sure you RSVP separately for the second session on April 27th.  This club is intended for students in grades 5–8.

Graphic Novel Description: The year is 1946. Teenagers Roberta and Tommy Lee just moved with their parents from Chinatown to the center of Metropolis, home to the famous hero, Superman. Tommy makes friends quickly, while Roberta pines for home. Then one night, the family awakens to find their house surrounded by the Klan of the Fiery Kross! Superman leaps into action, but his exposure to a mysterious green rock has left him weak. Can Roberta and Tommy help him smash the Klan?

Inspired by the 1940s Superman radio serial “Clan of the Fiery Cross,” New York Times bestselling author Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese, Boxes and Saints, The Terrifics, New Super-Man) and artist Gurihiru (Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Unstoppable Wasp) bring us a personal retelling of two different immigrants finding ways to belong.
(Grades 5–8; Live via Zoom)
