Richard Scrimger recommends
Evangeline's Heaven (2022)
Jen Braaksma
"Jen takes us on an action-packed journey through several Heavens where Christian truth and tropes are turned inside out. But for all the swords and wings, this is an earthly and universal story: a daughter's faith in herself and love for her father."
The Book of Sam (2020)
Rob Shapiro
"Sam Sullinger’s journey to save his only friend takes him from school and family chaos to junkshop mystery to Hell, and involves geeks and demons, love and awkwardness, humour and lore. The Book of Sam reads like an arcade game set in a TED Talk given by a guy you’d like to hang out with."
