Dog Man: Fetch-22, released in early December, takes the top spot, and between the eight individual volumes now out and two boxed sets, Pilkey’s series takes ten spots overall.
Raina Telgemeier’s latest middle-school memoir, Guts, is in the number 3 spot, interrupting a straight run of Dog Man volumes, and her other four original stories are on the chart as well. So she gets a quarter of the Top 20 pie.
In addition to these, the 18 Graphix volumes in the top 20 include the graphic adaptation of Tui T. Sutherland’s Wings of Fire novels and the latest Baby-Sitters Club adaptation by Gale Galligan. It is good to be a Scholastic imprint!
The two non-Graphix titles, Shannon Hale’s Best Friends and Max Brallier’s The Last Kids on Earth, are both top-20 perennials as well. In fact, this chart looks very similar to last month’s (see "November 2019 BookScan – Top 20 Kids Graphic Novels"), with the new Dog Man book bumping out one of the Wings of Fire volumes.
