Super Frenemies! is the 5th Simon & Chester young reader graphic novel by Cale Atkinson. Released 24th Sept 2024 by Penguin Random House on their Tundra imprint, it's 176 pages and is available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook formats.
This is a touching, funny, human (and ghost) story about cooperation, learning, growing up, facing our own fears and prejudices, and resolving our differences and finding common ground. The story arc is accessible, but the author/artist does a great job of making it engaging, sometimes funny, and serious. There are great messages (about racism, judgement, learning, and cooperation), as well as a solid narrative story.
Four and a half stars. Nice art, and a good story, well told. This would be a great choice for public or school library, classroom reading circle, or home use.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
