The Only Guide You’ll Ever Need

by Lauren Metz

For most teens, prom night is the biggest night of their high school lives. Some things (like who makes out with whom, and who gets voted prom queen) can’t be planned for; but for everything else, there’s The Prom Book. Inside, you’ll find advice on how to find a great outfit, what to splurge on and when to save, how to handle dangerous situations, how to get to and from the dance in style (and on a budget), and more! The Prom Book also has handy fill-in sections so teens can keep all their plans organized, and also use the book as a memento of the planning, the dancing, the partying, and the memories when it’s all over.

Tales of 9th Grade Obsessions, Revelations, and Other Nonsense

by Corrine Mucha

Annie’s brother says that freshman year determines the rest of your life. Great. Annie stinks at sports, falls hopelessly in love with an unattainable junior, and gets cast as a moaning old lady in the school play. Soon she forgets about the rest of her life—and just wants to make it through freshman year. Zest’s first graphic novel, Freshman is a great read for anyone who is currently a freshman—or ever was.

✳“Mucha’s loose, comic strip inspired style perfectly renders short, snarky stories that paint a true picture of the bizarre world of high school.” –School Library Journal

✳ YALSA Great Graphic Novel 2012

✳ YALSA Popular Paperbacks 2013

✳ Honored as a Texas Library Association Maverick Graphic Novel
