Oni Press is proud to announce that the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) committee has chosen four Oni Press graphic novels for their 2016 book lists.
Bad Machinery Volume 4: The Case of the Lonely One by John Allison, Junior Braves of the Apocalypse Volume 1: A Brave is a Brave by Greg Smith, Michael Tanner, and Zach Lehner, Meteor Men by Jeff Parker and Sandy Jarrell with Kevin Volo, and Princess Ugg Volume 1 by Ted Naifeh were chosen for YALSA’s 2016 “Great Graphic Novels for Teens” list.
Junior Braves of the Apocalypse Vol. 1 was also chosen for the 2016 “Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers” list.
“This series opener is a solid alternative for young readers who may be intrigued by popular zombie comics written for adults and might not be ready for Walking Dead or Jonathan Maberry’s Rot & Ruin books,” says School Library Journal in its review of Junior Braves of the Apocalypse. “While this work is not without violence or mature themes, it has mild content that is appropriate for middle schoolers. The subject matter and format make this a perfect title for reluctant readers.”
