Critics Review

Praise for Full Shift:

An ALA Rainbow Book List Selection

“Hilarious and heartwarming … Part fast-paced adventure, part poignant coming-of-age romance … Pairs well with ­Maggie Tokuda-Hall and Lisa Sterle’s Squad.” —School Library Journal

“Entertaining … The balance between action and humor is held together by Tessa as an appealing lead. The queer teen is prickly, sometimes awkward, and often relatable as she tries to figure out who she is and her place in the world, all while dealing with grief. A satisfying supernatural story.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Classically illustrated … A supernatural story with themes of belonging, loss, and self-acceptance.” —Booklist

“Refreshingly subversive … Seaton’s noir-like illustrations and detailed backdrops blend realistic and stylized elements to evoke an appropriately spine-chilling creature feature atmosphere. Emotive facial expressions similarly elevate Dugan’s rapid-fire dialogue and character interactions, which add heft and heart that brings the protagonists to life in this story of loss and transformation.” —Publishers Weekly

“Equal parts action-packed and full of laughs, Full Shift is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel about found family, the charm and intensity of first crushes, and what it means to truly embrace who you are.” —Claribel A. Ortega, Eisner Award–Winning Author of Frizzy

“With funny, thrilling, and heart-wrenching moments, this is a lovely story about self-acceptance and belonging. Fellow supernatural romance fans are sure to have a blast!” —Deya Muniz, creator of The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich
