In this queer, supernatural YA graphic novel from the author of Some Girls Do and the illustrator of Wonder Woman- Warbringer, a reluctant teen werewolf would do anything to be human-if that's what it takes to win her crush's heart.

In this queer, supernatural YA graphic novel from the author of Some Girls Do and the illustrator of Wonder Woman- Warbringer, a reluctant teen werewolf would do anything to be human-if that's what it takes to win her crush's heart.

Tessa feels like she doesn't fit in anywhere. Not at school, where she can't figure out how to confess the feelings she has for her friend Maddie. And definitely not at home, where the other werewolves in her family make her feel like an outcast because she can't even shift into her full wolf form yet. Sometimes she thinks her whole life would be easier if she wasn't a werewolf at all.

When word gets out that a group of werewolf hunters has infiltrated her pack's territory and that they've developed a cure that can make werewolves human, Tessa thinks she's found the answer to her problems. But when she discovers there might be more to the hunters' plans than anyone knows, it's up to Tessa to put herself on the line to protect the lives of those she loves most. And the only way to save them is to embrace the wolf inside her that is howling to get out.

Reviews for Full Shift: A Graphic Novel

Praise for Full Shift: “Hilarious and heartwarming . . . Part fast-paced adventure, part poignant coming-of-age romance . . . Pairs well with ­Maggie Tokuda-Hall and Lisa Sterle’s Squad.” —School Library Journal “Entertaining . . . The balance between action and humor is held together by Tessa as an appealing lead. The queer teen is prickly, sometimes awkward, and often relatable as she tries to figure out who she is and her place in the world, all while dealing with grief. A satisfying supernatural story.” —Kirkus Reviews “Classically illustrated . . . A supernatural story with themes of belonging, loss, and self-acceptance.” —Booklist “Refreshingly subversive . . . Seaton’s noir-like illustrations and detailed backdrops blend realistic and stylized elements to evoke an appropriately spine-chilling creature feature atmosphere. Emotive facial expressions similarly elevate Dugan’s rapid-fire dialogue and character interactions, which add heft and heart that brings the protagonists to life in this story of loss and transformation.” —Publishers Weekly “Equal parts action-packed and full of laughs, Full Shift is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel about found family, the charm and intensity of first crushes, and what it means to truly embrace who you are.” —Claribel A. Ortega, Eisner Award–Winning Author of Frizzy   “With funny, thrilling, and heart-wrenching moments, this is a lovely story about self-acceptance and belonging. Fellow supernatural romance fans are sure to have a blast!” —Deya Muniz, creator of The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich
