There are a few surprises on the list of the top 20 kids graphic novels in the book channel, based on NPD BookScan data for June (5/31/20-7/4/20) provided to ICv2.

June 2020 was the first month in recent memory (certainly since the beginning of the year) that there were no Babysitters Club titles in the top 20.  That will likely change in July, as a new Babysitters Little Sister graphic novel, Karen’s Roller Skates, debuted on July 7.  (And buckle up in September, which brings a new Babysitters Club book and a new Dog Man book.)

There’s also a new "I Survived…" graphic novel debuting in the number 20 spot.  This is the second graphic novel adaptation of the long-running prose series; the first came out in February but failed to make the top 20.

James Patterson’s Jacky Ha-Ha, which debuted on the chart in May, has fallen below the top 20 mark.
