While Americus is a YA graphic novel, it tackles an important, multilayered issue in today's world: censorship. Neal, a shy teenager, finds himself going head-to-head with members of his community after they try to get his favorite book series banned. Obviously, Neal has the support of his local librarian (because librarians are the best) and others, but he must take the lead in order to save the fantasy books he loves so much. The illustrations in Americus were beautiful, but I thought that the writing could have been stronger. Sometimes, the dialogue and actions of the characters seemed exaggerated which is why I only gave this title a three-star rating.
