Narwhal and Jelly, a graphic novel series by Ben Clayton, hit the Top 20 Kids Graphic Novels in the book channel with two volumes in March, according to data provided by NPD BookScan covering the period February 26 to April 1, 2018.  The first volume, Unicorn of the Sea, was released in 2016 and won an Eisner Award for Best Publication for Early Readers (up to age 8).  Now two volumes have been released in quick succession over the past two months, and both are in the Top 20 for March.

The latest Big Nate volume was the only other March release in the Top 20, and only one other 2018 release, The Dragonet Prophecy, made the chart.  Demonstrating high quality legs (and low new release counts for Q1), the rest of the titles were all long-running repeats.
