Star Knights by Kay Davault - OPTIONAL

Star Knights by Kay Davault, 234 pages GRAPHIC NOVEL RH Graphic (Random House). 2022. $21 

Language: G (0 swears) Mature Content: G Violence: G 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Tad is a lowly mud-dweller frog who dreams of being a Star Knight. All he has to do is find a star and then he can leave his lowly status behind and go on exciting adventures. When Tad is lucky enough to find a star, he has the opportunity to show that even a lowly frog can be a hero. 

The art is colorful and bright. The characters have an anime-ish non-gender look to them and gender doesn't seem to be an issue when it comes to attractions. The storyline is fairly straightforward and predictable, but it wraps up nicely with a theme of being true to yourself. As for race, even when the forest animals transform into star nights, they have different skin colors.
