Looking for great picks for voracious readers 10 and under? Here’s a guide for that!

The Batcat series by Meggie Ramm – a ridiculously cute graphic novel series both my kids (under 10) love, with a nonbinary grump of a main character who’s simultaneously a bat and a cat, a song in book 1 that my family randomly bursts out with, delightful illustrations, and a very cool quick guide in the back of each one to elements of graphic novels so kids can understand what goes into them and even how to make their own.

Early Reader

Batcat by Meggie Ramm

First in a full-color graphic novel series for emerging readers about accepting yourself and others from up-and-coming author-illustrator Meggie Ramm, creator of the comic strip The Littlest Dungeon Guard and cohost of the Pop! Whiz! Bang! comics podcast.

Batcat loves being all alone in their home on Spooky Island. Up in their tree house, they pass the time playing video games and watching TV. But when Batcat suddenly finds themself haunted by an annoying, ice cream–stealing ghost, they visit the local Island Witch for a spell to remove their ghastly guest permanently!

With their Ghost-B-Gone spell in hand, Batcat travels across Spooky Island to gather ingredients—to the Cavernous Caves where the bats tell them they’re too round to be a bat, and to the Whispering Cemetery where the cats will help only if they commit to being a true cat. But Batcat is neither and that’s what makes them special, right?
