The artwork is very sweet, but again, feels more middle grade than YA.Įach of the DC Ink titles is penned by a different YA author, so I’ll likely read the other titles. Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale by Lauren Myracle Gabi, a Girl in Pieces by Isabel Quintero Freakboy by Kristin Elizabeth Clark Seven parents sued the county last year for removing access to the books. There’s some animal abuse that is hard to read, and some of the cute nods to the comic lore didn’t feel authentic.
Myracle writes dialogue and situations for a mature YA book, but the plotting feels more middle grade. With this new family she begins to hone the skills that will later enable her to become Gotham’s smartest, sneakiest cat burglar. Despite putting up many walls, she begins to grow close to her new friends and becomes a mentor to the youngest of the group. There, she meets a group of young bandits who take her in on a plot to steal a valuable book from Wayne mansion. Lauren Myracle gives pre-Catwoman Selina a naivety and softness that makes it easy to root for her, even while realizing that she’ll one day grow into a character who’s more likely to act like Robin Hood than Robin the Boy Wonder. Selina is sort of getting by, but when her mom’s boyfriend’s violence goes too far, she leaves home and school to live on the streets. From Lauren Myracle, the New York Times best-selling author of books like ttfn and ttyl, comes a new graphic novel that tells the story of a teenage Catwoman.
In this, we meet 14 year old Selina Kyle, living with her single mom and her mom’s abusive boyfriend. Under the Moon is from the new DC Ink imprint of YA graphic novels based on its popular characters.
