(3) 4-6 Adventures of Invisible Boy series. In this graphic novel sequel, Stan and Gene, now able to control their invisibility powers, try to fight crime, but struggle to find any real action in their quiet town until Stan’s dad’s hardware store is robbed and a new villain appears. The humorous, action-packed plot relies heavily on the first book for context, making it hard for new readers to follow. However, the quirky characters, funny illustrations, and zany vibe will appeal to fans of lighthearted superhero adventures.

(3) YA Acerbic teen Kirby, grieving the death of his sister, usually spends his nights watching Die Hard and writing in a secret notebook. When he takes a night off to go cow tipping with his two best friends, they set off a cascade of rollicking events that pit them against school authorities and bullies. This fast-paced romp features a cast of hilariously offbeat characters and strikes a balance between comedy and pathos.
