Join our Graphic Novel Club, suggested for teens ages 13-18. Scott Pilgrim has two girls on the go. When he’s with Knives Chau, he feels he can erase the past and start over.

What happens when Knives and Ramona meet? Which girl will he choose? And why, oh why, can’t the past stay past? Stop by Youth Services for more information about the Graphic Novel Club.
