Description

Now a Netflix animated film!

Nimona is the New York Times bestselling graphic novel sensation from ND Stevenson, based on his beloved and critically acclaimed web comic. Kirkus says, “If you’re going to read one graphic novel this year, make it this one.”

Nemeses! Dragons! Science! Symbolism! All these and more await in this brilliantly subversive, sharply irreverent epic from ND Stevenson. Featuring an exclusive epilogue not seen in the web comic, along with bonus conceptual sketches and revised pages throughout, this gorgeous full-color graphic novel has been hailed by critics and fans alike as the arrival of a “superstar” talent (NPR.org).

Nimona is an impulsive young shapeshifter with a knack for villainy. Lord Ballister Blackheart is a villain with a vendetta. As sidekick and supervillain, Nimona and Lord Blackheart are about to wreak some serious havoc. Their mission: prove to the kingdom that Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin and his buddies at the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics aren't the heroes everyone thinks they are.

But as small acts of mischief escalate into a vicious battle, Lord Blackheart realizes that Nimona's powers are as murky and mysterious as her past. And her unpredictable wild side might be more dangerous than he is willing to admit.

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

Fans of ND Stevenson's beloved and bestselling Nimona won't want to miss his moving memoir-in-pictures, The Fire Never Goes Out, featuring short essays, mini-comics, and photographs that span eight eventful years in ND's young adult life.

    So I have read the book and seen the movie. I’m the kinda girl who wakes up early, eats candy for breakfast and watch tv for the rest of the day. I’m a lazy kid. It’s just that the movie is better. The person who voice acts nimona Has like the perfect voice for her. The movie just helps my imagination a little better. I’m not saying it’s bad. I’m saying it’s okay. 😌 byeee
  • This book is so fun!

    One of the best graphic novels I’ve ever read. Sure it was meant for a younger group, but regardless, this is great storytelling with all the right ingredients.

    I liked the cover of the book, so me being me I picked it to read, and the moment I turned the first page I was in love with it, I had to buy it and I did. This book is amazing, everything about it, yes I know that if a kid picks this up maybe he or she would be scared but I’m a kid and I loved this book, I would recommend ages 7 or higher. And I totally recomend it if you like good books with a strong message. I can’t even play explain how much I love it, Everyone should read this 🔆🌈🧡

    I love this kid! Who would’nt? She’s the girl i wannna be! But.. I feel like there’s to much gruesome stuff for kids. Look, I admit, I love a good marvel movie or an action packed comic book! But what if a 7 year old loves comic books but can’t watch pg 13 movies. If that girl reads this, she might get scared! But, I’m definitely not giving this book a bad rating (even if it looks like i do.) Nimona is the cutest, awesomest, kicking butt girl I have ever seen.

    This book is the main thing that got me into graphic novels. I mean sure, I'd read them before, and I thought that they were okay, but this is what gave me the extra shove that got me rolling.
