Book Review: Goldie Vance, Vol. 1 by Hope Larson and Brittney Williams

Goldie Vance, Vol. 1

by Hope Larson and Brittney Williams (YA PB (Graphic Novel) Larson)

 

Goldie Vance is a fresh take on the childhood mysteries of Nancy Drew. Goldie Vance is a 16 year old who uses intelligence, friendship and intuition to solve the mysteries that occur at the Florida resort that she and her father run. She and her friends are people of color, presented as smart protagonists who are saving the day. The illustrations are beautiful, and the story is heartfelt. The mysteries will intrigue the young and teen reader.

 

[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try The Backstagers by James Tynion IV, or Lumberjanes by Noelle Stevenson.]
