Indies Choice Book of the Year * National Book Award Finalist * New York Times Bestseller * New York Times Notable Book * Kirkus Best Book * School Library Journal Best Book * Publishers Weekly Best Book * NPR Best Book * New York Public Library Best Book * Chicago Public Library Best Book. The New York Times bestselling graphic novel sensation from Noelle Stevenson, based on her beloved and critically acclaimed web comic. As sidekick and supervillain, Nimona and Lord Blackheart are about to wreak some serious havoc. Lord Ballister Blackheart, a knight, has assumed the role of a supervillain in order to expose the nefarious schemes of the kingdom's front organization, The Institute of Law Enforcement. Despite her anger management issues, the teen becomes Ballister's invaluable ally and together they form an alliance of mutual trust and dependence. Action scenes dominate as Nimona shifts with Hulk-like ferocity from frightful creatures such as a fire-breathing dragon to a docile cat or a timid child. A complementary color palette of Blackheart's muddy browns contrasts with Goldenloin's fresh transparent yellow-greens. cocreator.—Barbara M. Moon, Suffolk Cooperative Library System, Bellport, NY "Noelle Stevenson has a knack for capturing the humor and heart in a situation in just a few panels." --Rainbow Rowell, New York Times bestselling author of Eleanor and Park. "Awesome and adorable." "Sharp visuals, a nifty amalgam of fantasy and science fiction elements, and relationships drawn with complexity, wit, and depth create a world worth returning to again and again." Sharp visuals, a nifty amalgam of fantasy and science fiction elements, and relationships drawn with complexity, wit, and depth create a world worth returning to again and again. Nimona is beautifully flawed and refreshingly unstereotypical in a book that is both darkly witty and surprisingly touching. [Stevenson s] voice is clear and precise, her drawings confident, her use of color growing in depth and assurance as the story progresses. Those of you who haven't read Nimona yet are lucky, because you can buy the fantasy comic in book form instead of waiting for Noelle to post an update twice a week.

"Stevenson included some of her sketches and the Christmas minicomic interlude when Ballister and Ambrosius were children, plus the epilogue. It is somewhat small (page-wise) for a graphic novel, which is a bit disappointing, given the large page size online when it was just a webcomic."
