Donutella Hamachi and the Library Avengers

A joyful LGBTIA+ book for readers age 8–12 about comics, community and unlikely heroes – perfect for Pride

From drag sensation and star of RuPaul’s Drag Race Kim Chi and the acclaimed author of the K-Pop Confidential books comes a contemporary superhero series about a community coming together to save their local library.

For twelve-year-old Korean immigrant Jae Han, the library is more than a place to check out books. It’s a safe space to work on his comic book featuring drag superhero Donutella Hamachi, play video games to improve his English, and befriend other outcast kids sheltering among the stacks. When the mayor announces plans to demolish the building and pave a mall parking lot, Jae Han pleads with his friend the librarian to intervene. But even if the mayor doesn’t shutter the library, Ms Henny reveals, a funding deficit will. Called to action, Jae Han rallies his ragtag group of friends to halt the destruction of their haven. Can they – with help from the sparkling Donutella Hamachi – unite long enough to defeat the slime-shooting blobfish enveloping screaming citizens in goo (i.e., ace a fundraising campaign)? Filled with diabolical plots and empowerment aplenty, this lively foray into the heart of a town’s darkness, sprinkled through with hilarious graphic panels, will delight superhero fans, comic book creators, and anyone who has felt outside the mainstream – and perfectly at home in a library.
