Exclusive Previews for ‘Sweeties’ and ‘Chloe’ from Papercutz New Graphic Novel Imprint for Tween Girls

Share

Papercutz’ new imprint, Charmz, has us cheering. For one thing, the imprint is designed for tween girls who, let’s face it, tend to be overlooked by the big creators. For another, the three books coming out this month each have at least one woman as either the writer or the artist, sometimes both. And, perhaps most important, they are not a uniform brand. Sweeties and Chloe, both of which come out tomorrow, May 9, deal with middle school dilemmas and questions about family from different angles. Stitched, which comes out on the sixteenth, moves into fantasy territory with shades of Frankenstein thrown in, and Papercutz promises that at least one of their future books will take readers into outer space. We can’t wait!

Read the synopses below and scroll down for exclusive previews from Sweeties and Chloe (Don’t worry–we’ll be telling you about Stitched soon!).

Everything was wonderful for young Chloe Blin— she loved her family, even despite their affectionate nickname for her. But everything changes when she starts at a new school. Suddenly, her family is just embarrassing! Chloe wants to meet new people and make new friends, especially with a certain Alexandre, but she’s not sure what to say or wear or who to trust. The home room fashionistas are only too happy to tell her how her clothes look, but can they really be her friends? And what if everyone heard her family’s name for her?

Sweeties by Veronique Grisseaux with art by Anna Merli adapts the popular Chocolate Box series by Cathy Cassidy in to graphic novel format.
