Paper Girls, Vol. 1 by Brian K. Vaughan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Looking for something to fill the time until Stranger Things comes back? Look no further.

Set in the late 1980s, our heroines are a motley crew of newspaper delivery girls. The story begins when the girls band together for their rounds the morning after Halloween night (it’s still kind of creepy out and at 4 in the morning it’s best to work in pairs). When some boys who appear to still be in costume steal their walkie-talkies, they abandon their newspaper rounds. The mission to recover their communication devices sends them on a wild goose chase, triggering a series of events that will mire them in an inter-dimensional alien war. This time-travel-alien-invasion graphic novel is thrilling, funny, and suspenseful. -Ms. Pelman
