Boo is a magical girl in nowheresville. She flies through the night, bravely casting down monsters with magic, and then slowly sails back to earth. But that's all in dreamland; her real life is full of fears like high school, waitressing at work, and a mom who ll, Boo is not ready to talk about her mom just yet. Enter supercool Mimi, a new girl in her grade who will take her to the moon and encourage her to reach for the stars. While Boo's time in dreamland may be fleeting, her time with Mimi is impactful. Sunny and Gloomy have created a poignant and meaningful story about a magnificent girl trying to both live with and escape from trauma and parentification. A palette of cherry blossom pink and bamboo greens is a great fit for fashionable, striking Boo, whose evanescent daydreams sparkle. Not everyone is ready to share their story yet, and by placing Mimi's confidence beside Boo's reluctance, young readers can gain a better understanding of the wide variety of trauma responses. A strong choice for social-emotional learning.

From Tapas Media, the same webtoon platform that brought you Magical Boy, comes Rainbow!, a new LGBTQ+ YA graphic novel series!

In her daydreams, she dances beautifully at balls or fights monsters as a magical girl. In reality, she has a complicated home life, work stress, school stress, and a wicked crush on the girl of her dreams. When a new student, Mimi, arrives at school, Boo starts exploring a side of herself that she never considered before. As she grows closer with Mimi, it may finally be time for Boo to face reality . . . Who is the real Mimi? The one in her dreams? Or the one in real life?
