The ninth and newest Baby-Sitters Club graphic novel, Claudia and the New Girl, came out in February but didn’t show up on the chart until June, when it appears in sixth place. That’s a respectable showing, but it’s surprising that it hasn’t shown up before now, as this is a perennially popular series, despite several changes of artist/adaptor.
Aside from that, we’re in familiar territory with this chart, with 11 Dav Pilkey books, three from Raina Telgemeier, and the first and fourth volumes of the Wings of Fire graphic adaptation. Then we have three singletons: Terri Libenson’s Truly Tyler charts for the second month in a row (her books tend to do that, and we can expect to see it next month too, if the pattern holds). FGTEEV Saves the World, an April release, is also back for a second month; this series is based on a YouTube channel featuring a family who plays video games together. Completing the non-Graphix trilogy is Jerry Craft’s New Kid.
