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.

NPD BookScan collects weekly point-of-sale data on print books from over 16,000 locations including e-tailers, chains, mass merchandisers, independent bookstores, and more. NPD BookScan covers approximately 85% of the U.S. trade print book market. The ranks on this chart are based on piece sales. Some publishers classify titles that are primarily text, or art books, as graphic novels; we've removed those titles from the ranking above.
