Blackwater

                                              

Title: Blackwater
Author: Jeannette Arroyo and Ren Graham
Published: Henry Holt and Co. BYR Paperbacks, July 19, 2022
Pages: 304
Genre: YA Graphic Novel

Tony Price is a popular high school track star and occasional delinquent aching for his dad’s attention and approval. Eli Hirsch is a quiet boy with a chronic autoimmune disorder that has ravaged his health and social life. What happens when these two become unlikely friends (and a whole lot more . . .) in the spooky town of Blackwater, Maine? Werewolf curses, unsavory interactions with the quarterback of the football team, a ghostly fisherman haunting the harbor, and tons of high school drama.


This was adorable. The art, the story, everything. It's very queer, pretty spooky, heart-warming. I loved it. Tony and Eli are so wonderful. In high school, so little sh*t$ some of the time. But wonderful. I would absolutely read more about Blackwater if they decided to bring us back!
