Some Exciting News!

My new Godzilla graphic novel has been announced!

Hello, dear readers! After a quiet November here at Rosie Recommends, I’m here with some very exciting news of my own. My readers and listeners have heard me teasing a new Godzilla project with the amazing artist Oliver Ono — with color assists by Nick Marino and letters by Jodie Troutman — for a while now and I’m really happy to share that Godzilla: Monster Island Summer Camp has been announced along with the reveal of Oliver’s gorgeous cover, and the book is up for preorder now. We were exceptionally excited that our original middle grade graphic novel was unveiled officially at Godzilla.com and the response so far has been delightful.

Here’s a tease of what you can expect:

As an aspiring cartoonist, Zelda has always dreamed of attending an art summer camp, and this year she finally gets to go! But when she arrives to Make It Summer Camp, she’s horrified to see the easels and sketchboards have been replaced with dodgeball and calisthenics. The camp is under new, suspicious management that’s turned it into an extreme sports nightmare.

Determined to salvage her summer, Zelda escapes to a secluded corner of the island. Here she can finally draw in peace. At least until she stumbles into a portal to a fantastic world!

There she makes a connection with baby kaiju Minilla and discovers the beauty of these legendary creatures. However, all is not well on Monster Island. Great evils are stirring and if Zelda can’t protect their home, the kaiju will unleash their wrath on the world.

So you can expect me to talking about this a lot until it hits shelves on Aug 12, 2024!

If you’re excited for it, you can preorder now and help get the buzz going!
