Their protagonists' adventures may be wildly diverse, but they illustrate the broad relevance of teen experience – whatever your age. Though their settings range - from a post-industrial Massachusetts town to a series of deliberately unnamed cities in Central America - Sophia Glock's Passport, Huda Fahmy's Huda F Are You? and Kel McDonald and Jose Pimienta's Stars, Hide Your Fire express similar cares and concerns. Among the flood of titles competing for youthful eyeballs, though, a few stand apart this fall for their unorthodox stories, deft artwork and potent themes. It's evident that 2021 has been a bumper year for graphic novels aimed at the high-school set.
