Sabrina is the only graphic novel that has ever been longlisted for the Booker prize. If you think graphic novels are for kids, this book will prove you wrong with its impactful,

Calvin Wroebel is in the Air Force, recently separated from his wife and young daughter. His life is sad and lonely, exacerbated by working night shifts. But then, Teddy comes to stay with him. Teddy’s girlfriend of two years is missing, and this novel focuses on how false narratives and conspiracy theories impact the friends and family of victims. 

Sabrina will have you questioning everything, while also bringing up whatever feelings you have about media sources like Alex Jones and their ilk. It is a book with many more questions than answers. It is a book that demands you think while also building empathy for its flawed characters. 

Sabrina presents very real social issues in an approachable format. I think the illustrations actually make the story feel more real and relatable. Pick this up if you love the genre or if you’ve never tried it, I think you’ll be impressed by the social commentary offered and the reflection this story demands.
