This is a quick, fun, historical heist story set in the 1860s with two queer leads, appropriate for young readers. Grace is a trans runaway, fleeing Georgia for California with the dream of a career on the stage. Flor is feared outlaw who haunts the canyons of New Mexico with her hawk, staging robberies whenever the opportunity strikes. The two don't have a very promising first meeting, but they decide to go in on a joint venture- sneaking into a Confederate gala to steal plans to sell to the Union Army. Its gorgeously illustrated in Melanie Gillman's trademark colored pencil style, a perfect media to render the peachy sky above the desert at dawn and the blushes of the heroines as they begin to develop more than business-partnership-feelings for each other. I picked up a full color ARC of this story at BookExpo 2019. While you wait for its fall release, check out Gillman's other queer YA series, As The Crow Flies , which is full of nature, teen girls, and feelings. You can read the first 300 pages online in webcomic form at http://www.melaniegillman.com/ or pick up the print edition from Iron Circus Comics. (Full disclosure, the author is a friend of mine and appears in my book!)
