Renegade Girls (A Graphic Novel)

“Direct but not too heavy, bright with color and gentle in tone, Neus’s graphic novel is an absolute dream of an afternoon read.”–The New York Times
“The art vividly captures the diverse population of New York among the bucolic parks, busy streets, and grimy industrial workshops characteristic of the period…A dashing tale of justice, bravery, and love.”
–Booklist
★“Nell and Alice’s tender, nuanced relationship unfolds against the backdrop of a rigidly conservative society, offering a heartfelt exploration of labor rights, agency, and queer identity in an engrossing, socially conscious tale that resonates with contemporary discussions of systemic injustice and personal resilience.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review
“A rewarding light read that may awaken questions of ­social justice.”–School Library Journal
“Informative historical fiction about important trailblazers featuring a charming queer romance.”–Kirkus Reviews
