What this book is about
Originally a beloved webcomic, Nimona follows the irrepressible shapeshifting teenager Nimona, who becomes the sidekick of Lord Ballister Blackheart — a knight who was framed for a crime he didn't commit. As they work together to expose the Institution's corruption, the story becomes a sharp, moving exploration of identity, belonging, and what it means to be labeled a monster. The graphic novel contains action violence and deals with themes of self-harm and not belonging in ways that are handled with care but are emotionally significant.
