Creaky Acres: A Graphic Novel by Calista Brill
A heartwarming middle-grade graphic novel about being the new kid, making new friends, and learning to trust yourself through the power of horseback riding-perfect for fans of Victoria Jamieson's Roller Girl.Nora is a prize-winning horseback rider in a suburban area, with a tight-knit circle of best friends. But when her mom gets a prestigious new job in a poor, rural area, she has to adjust to a lot of change: to being the only Black kid in a new class and to a new barn called Creaky Acres, where her beloved horse, Hay Fever, will make his new home.
It's there she meets sweet and geeky Laura, goofy and fun-loving Wilson, and fearless Dolores (aka Dizzy). With her ragtag team of equestrians, Nora learns it's okay to stand out and steps into her power as a leader, realizing that being a rider isn't just about winning-or maybe that winning just might look different than what she'd thought.
M.F.K., a middle-grade graphic novel that won the Dwayne McDuffie Award for Diversity, and HOW TO FIND A FOX, a picture book, are both by Nilah Magruder. She's also worked as an illustrator for Disney, Scholastic, and Penguin, as well as writing comics for Marvel. Nilah spends her free time watching movies, cultivating herbs, and battling her cat for possession of her desk chair in her home studio in Western Maryland. www.nilahmagruder.com @nilaffle @nilahmagruder @nilahmagruder @nilahmagruder @nilahmagruder @nilahmagruder @nilahmagruder @nil
