Hibiscus & Home
Hibiscus & Home is a teenager contemporary book about trans experience and identity, told through the contrasting perspectives of two transgender teenage boys with vastly different lives.Although the word sounds the same in their mouths, and looks the same written down, being trans doesn’t mean the same thing to Everett as it does to Kylen. Everett takes a tremendous amount of pride in the word. Whereas, after eight years of living as a trans man, the word has grown to taste sour on Kylen’s tongue.
When they meet at their local LGBTQ youth club, Everett and Kylen struggle to get along. But, when the situation arises, they find themselves having to work together to stop the club from getting shut down – for both of their sakes.
Amongst liking a girl that doesn’t know he’s trans, trying to salvage a relationship with his transphobic parents, and dealing with the misbehaviour of the boys that he calls his friends, Kylen has a lot on his mind. Meanwhile, Everett tries to figure out who he is in conjunction with his trans identity, and attempts to improve his confidence before starting sixth form college in September.
They’ve both got things to ask the world, and they’ve also both got answers – just not for their own questions.Contains explicit language and mature themes of abuse, homophobia, mental health issues, sexism, sexual themes, suicide, transphobia, underage drinking, underage smoking, and violence.

– snappy simplified text presenting Shakespeare’s themes clearly
– introductory materials to help set the scene and context of each story
– heaps of extra material at the back to keep the learning and fun going, including an exploration of themes in the play, the language, Shakespeare’s inspirations, the publication and performance of the play in history, a timeline of Shakespeare’s life and works, and much more!Plays available in the series include:

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Much Ado About NothingPraise for the Classics in Graphics series:
“Excellent production and binding, quality paper, and with fantastic writing and illustrations – an encouraging entry point to Shakespeare for my kids, and ease of dive-in for my own flighting or cursory storytelling engagement/whimsy […] an excellent job converting challenging language and literary themes to make it very inclusive, smoothing ease of understanding dialogue, plot, and narration without dumbing it down. Each book has a wonderful appendix including notes on Shakespeare, relevant maps and themes (i.e. for example in Hamlet it goes deeper into its themes of Revenge, Madness & Mortality), and a glossary. For a graphic novel adaptation, I think these books are delightful. […] They are wonderful and have quickly broken down the wall of “fear of Shakespeare” in my house as they are so easy to read and engage. And they have a really nice tactile production value, heft, and readability that makes broaching these often deemed difficult works, FUN. And of course, they are nice to look at.” – EricWilliamson, www.leagueofcomicgeeks.comRead more

Much Ado About NothingPraise for the Classics in Graphics series:
“Excellent production and binding, quality paper, and with fantastic writing and illustrations – an encouraging entry point to Shakespeare for my kids, and ease of dive-in for my own flighting or cursory storytelling engagement/whimsy […] an excellent job converting challenging language and literary themes to make it very inclusive, smoothing ease of understanding dialogue, plot, and narration without dumbing it down. Each book has a wonderful appendix including notes on Shakespeare, relevant maps and themes (i.e. for example in Hamlet it goes deeper into its themes of Revenge, Madness & Mortality), and a glossary. For a graphic novel adaptation, I think these books are delightful. […] They are wonderful and have quickly broken down the wall of “fear of Shakespeare” in my house as they are so easy to read and engage. And they have a really nice tactile production value, heft, and readability that makes broaching these often deemed difficult works, FUN. And of course, they are nice to look at.” – EricWilliamson, www.leagueofcomicgeeks.comRead more
