\nMaia Kobabe is the creator of the most-banned graphic novel in America – and one of its best-selling – Gender Queer: A Memoir. That book, initially published in 2019, was not initially intended for kids, but won awards for its appeal to a younger audience.
But also that Kobabe was working on another graphic novel tackling such themes, specifically written for a younger audience.\n\nAnd that is what has now been announced. Scholastic has paid a six-figure sum in an auction for the world publishing rights to Saachi's Stories, a new middle-grade graphic novel written by Maia Kobaba and drawn by Lucky Srikumar for the Scholastic Graphic imprint, to be edited by David Leviathan.
