Dog Man: Brawl of the Wild still takes the top spot, but the list is diversifying a bit, as Just Jaime, which debuted at the number two spot in May, moves down to number four, putting it ahead of the four older Dog Man titles.
The rest of the list has a lot of familiar titles: The four Raina Telgemeier books (Smile, Sisters, Drama, and Ghosts), the Baby Sitters Club, the first Phoebe and Her Unicorn book (a good example of a healthy backlist title, as it makes the chart just about every month), Jerry Craft’s New Kid, Svetlana Chmakova’s Crush, and the adaptations of Tui T. Sutherland’s Wings of Fire books.
One newish title that’s a bit of a sleeper is Kayla Miller’s Camp, which moved from number 19 in April to number 13 in May and number 11 in June. That’s an interesting trajectory for a fairly new graphic novel; it’s a follow-up to Miller’s Click, which was released in January 2019 and didn’t make the BookScan top 20 at all.
