This graphic novel was super cute. It also has some depth - it's a retelling of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey (which I really want to read now) and the story of queer kids in Abilene, TX. I really enjoyed the choice of setting for an American, modern version of a remote gothic story. Sometimes I have to remind myself that things are written for kids, and this is a little explain-y at the end. But I think the young queer kids in your life would especially enjoy it.
