Gunnerkrigg Court: Orientation

A customer request tipped me off to this webcomic-turned-book, and I think it might find a lot more fans, young and old. Orientation is an apt title for this first volume, as its two intrepid girl heroes become increasingly complex characters and what at first seems like an odd series of happenings at a strange English boarding school (involving robots, demons, and other fantastical creatures) is revealed to be part of a deep web of magic and intrigue. (Volume 2 comes out in paperback in October, but if you can't wait the archives are available online.) (11 and up)
