D&D DUNGEON CLUB SC GN TP (2025)

HarperAlley partners up with The Wizards of the Coast in the first book of a new graphic novel series by Molly Knox Ostertag and Xanthe Bouma. Best friends Olivia and Jess have always loved making up stories... first with little-kid games of imagination and, more recently, with the sword-and-sorcery tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. Olivia runs the game as Dungeon Master, while Jess is the solo party member, playing a take-no-prisoners, lone-wolf character of her own design named Sir Corius. But when Olivia wants to add a new player to their club, Jess finds herself struggling to share their game-and her best friend.

Tyler has a secret-Sunny, the imaginary friend he had when he was younger, hasn't gone away. Not only that, she now acts as his butt-kicking character in his after-school D&D club, too. Whether it's helping him deal with his rowdy cousin Luis or avoiding his archnemesis Kelly at school, Sunny always has his back, often encouraging soft-spoken Tyler to be a little more… bold. Until one day Sunny pushes Tyler a little too far and he unexpectedly confesses his feelings to Sam, his outspoken and dreamy crush. Instead of a happily ever after, Tyler's confession turns into gossip fodder for the entire school. Hurt and angry, Tyler banishes Sunny from his mind. But the silence afterward is louder than Sunny's presence ever was, and Tyler must look to the people in his real life to discover who he truly is-and who he wants to be.
