“Club Kick Out!: Into the Ring” is the first in a new series of graphic novels written and illustrated by Steph Mided. Sasha is nervous and excited to start seventh grade. She might even try to become the president of the gaming club! Unfortunately the new principal declares that there will be no more extracurricular clubs besides sports due to budget problems. After getting randomly placed into a group of students for an English class project, Sasha and her new friends end up trying to start a Pro Wrestling Club since it would count as a sport. Sasha and friends deal with bullying, anxiety, friendship troubles, and overparenting and come out as champs in the end. Bright and colorful illustrations and overall humor and kindness make this a fun and enjoyable read. Aimed at ages 8 to 12, this is a recommended purchase for any middle grade graphic novel collection.
