That Stings! A Lonely Worker Bee Faces Big Choices in the Middle Grade Graphic Novel, Three Bee Honey

Posted on by Leave a comment

Life in the hive is a constant buzz of pressure, endless work, and precious little room to get anything wrong. This fall, Papercutz brings Three Bee Honey Vol. 1, a heartfelt middle-grade graphic novel debut from writer Desi St. Amant, illustrator Jon St. Amant, and letterer Haley Rose-Lyon—all about one lonely worker bee navigating responsibility, survival, and the unexpected discoveries that come from finding connection.

Claire’s hive is in trouble! She and her sisters haven’t foraged enough food to survive the coming winter. Now Claire, a lonely worker bee, has to keep up with the growing work demands or risk starvation.

As if that’s not enough, she must also avoid the neighboring hive’s pesky drones, bee-hunting predators, and Nia, the Queen’s bossy hive deputy.

And when Claire begins training her two sisters, Hannah and Abi, the pressures only increase. But it’s through these struggles that Claire discovers what she’s capable of…and much more.

Drawing from their years teaching tweens and teens, Desi and Jon St. Amant shaped Three Bee Honey into a heartfelt story about identity, friendship, responsibility, and finding your place in a world filled with pressure and unspoken expectations. Through Claire’s journey, they hope readers come away understanding that following your passions can help lead you toward connection, purpose, and a stronger sense of belonging within your community.

For fans of Kayla Miller and Victoria Jamieson, Three Bee Honey Vol. 1 is a heartfelt debut graphic novel about a lonely worker bee torn between her newfound passion for music with new friends and loyalty to her endangered hive. An engaging story about family, friendship, perseverance, and finding your place in a world that expects a lot from you.

Three Bee Honey Vol. 1 goes on sale October 20, 2026, in paperback (ISBN: 9781545833469 | $14.99) and hardcover (ISBN: 9781545833476 | $19.99).

Posted on by Leave a comment

Hot on the heels of The Lost in the Future Collection Vol. 1 winning the 2026 Prix Albertine Jeunesse, Papercutz collects the complete Lost in the Future trilogy in one exciting volume! 

From the GenPet creative team of writer Damián and illustrator Àlex Fuentes, with lettering by Charles Pritchett and Cromatik LTD. and translation by Tom Imber, Lost in the Future Collection drops readers into a future where humanity has nearly vanished, nature has reclaimed the world, and survival means learning who to trust.

A school field trip to an ancient castle goes terribly wrong for a group of friends, when a dangerous storm erupts. As they are about to leave the castle, the four friends are cornered by their arch nemesis— the class bully, who tries to pull one of his usual cruel pranks. Instead, they all get the scare of their lives when they fall down a tunnel that transports them into the future: a future where mankind has nearly disappeared from the face of the earth, and where nature has taken control. The friends will have to face up to this hostile new world— as well as their nemesis, who must come to terms with his own trauma— if they are to work together and have any chance of making it back home…

Readers of Amulet, Last Kids on Earth, and City of Dragons will enjoy Lost in the Future Collection, which delivers action, mystery, and emotional depth for middle-grade readers who love high-stakes adventures with heart.

Asterix Collector Vol. 7: Asterix and the Big Fight

(W) René Goscinny (A) Albert Uderzo

Re-releasing the classic comic series in a larger format, with never-before-seen archival illustrations and scans.

Recently adapted for an animated Netflix miniseries, “Asterix and the Big Fight” is one of the most beloved stories of the fearless Gaul battling supposedly unbeatable odds to protect his tiny village from the Roman Empire. Now the story gets new prestige treatment with illuminating commentary and insights into the original story and illustrations.

The Romans are beginning to wise up! Instead of trying to conquer Asterix’s village, the Romans challenge Vitalstatistx, chief of Asterix’s tribe, to a “Big Fight” — a one-on-one battle with the Gallo-Roman Chief, Cassius Ceramix of Linoleum. The loser forfeits his entire tribe to the winner! It should be an easy fight with Vitalstatistx’s super strength — but the Romans have a plan for that, too. Get ready for an all-out Gaulish brawl!

Three Thieves Vol. 5: Pirates of the Silver

(W) Scott Chantler (A) Scott Chantler

The island of Astaroth — “The Dark Island” — is a legend among sailors. It’s rumored a demon lives there, and that it holds more riches than anyone could fathom. But no one has ever laid eyes on it.

Certain that her long-lost brother is being held on the Dark Island against his will, Dessa hires a ragtag group of smugglers to take her there aboard their ship. But it’s a journey fraught with danger and treachery, and the outcome seems less and less certain with each passing moment…

Secret S.T.E.A.M. Society Vol. 3: Spaceflight

(W) Paul Kupperberg (A) Bill Walko

The Secret S.T.E.A.M. Society is made up of a group of students from different grade levels that come together with their good friend, Toot, who is an exchange student from another planet, to learn, teach and understand the world and the universe around us.

The Story of Spaceflight is a journey through humanity’s quest to understand our place in the universe…and our struggles to reach the stars. Guided by the curious students of the London Academy of ideas and Ingenuity, readers travel through time and space to witness the evolution of spaceflight—from the invention of gunpowder in ancient China and early rocketry to Newton’s laws of physics, the Wright brothers’ first flight, the jet age, and the space race. They explore moon landings, space stations, and the bold dreams for humanity’s future among the stars. Blending science, history, and imagination, this engaging tale brings to life the milestones that shaped our path into space.

Squalo & Mage vs. the Rage of the Bakunawa is beyond adorable and leaves us wanting more

Posted on by Leave a comment

In this first book of an epic debut middle grade fantasy graphic novel duology by Kara Bodegón-Hikino, Mage and her shark best friend, Squalo, set off on a wild adventure filled with mythical and powerful creatures from Filipino folklore to save their world from the wrath of the Bakunawa. Perfect for fans of Hildafolk and Final Fantasy.

After losing her father in an attack by the evil Tikbalang, Mage and her best friend, Squalo, set off an important quest far from home to honor her father’s last wish—find the Bakunawa, the guardian of the sea.

But Mage and Squalo don’t know where to find the Bakunawa. And the evil Tikbalang was only one underling of Ventrolio, the nightmare maker, who is hunting Mage at any cost. Mage and Squalo’s journey takes them all over Mundo, facing monsters and possessed minions of Ventrolio until they hear news of an angry bakunawa that would rather destroy ships and summon storms than help sailors. Why would Mage’s father send them to someone so dangerous? Can Mage and Squalo uncover the truth before the Bakunawa unleashes her wrath and plunges all of Mundo into chaos?
