The Real Riley Mayes
The Real Riley Mayes is a middle-grade graphic novel about a shy, funny kid navigating friendships, crushes, and queer identity in a small-town school. Written and illustrated by Rachel Elliott, it captures awkwardness and humor as Riley tries to figure out who she is and how to show it. Parents appreciate the gentle treatment of big topics like rumors, stereotypes, and self-expression, all wrapped in accessible art. It’s a great choice for upper-elementary and early middle school readers who enjoy realistic, character-driven stories.
