Comic and Graphic Books. Juvenile Fiction. Mythology. Folklore. HTML:First in a series, Nidhi Chanani's Super Boba Café is a sweet and magical middle-grade, full-color graphic novel about a secret teashop, an earthquake-causing monster, and an unforgettable summer.

In the fog-laden hills of San Francisco sits a sleepy independent boba café. Run by Jing Li and guarded by her kitty, Bao, it comfortably fades into the background. But inside the boba café, there's a secret. Jing is the keeper of the monster of San Francisco. Each day she prepares one giant boba for nine hours to feed it.

When Jing's granddaughter, Aria, comes to stay with her for the summer, she makes it her mission to turn the café around. Aria is quickly aided by Bao, who gives birth to eight perfect kittens. Aria spreads the news of the boba cat café on social media and overnight it is overrun with excited customers. Each day Nainai Li (Grandma Li) finds reasons to close the café, but the demand only increases.

When she opens, the hill monster is left hungry and small earthquakes begin to plague the city. When Aria secretly follows her nainai to the hill monster's cave, she isn't sure what awaits. Will Aria be able to reason with the monster, or will she become its new favorite meal? Or might she disturb its underground existence and cause the Big One?

Of all Chanani's graphic novels, this one is my favorite. A little magical realism, cute animals, and conflict.

Aria's been badly burned with a friend exposing her private pictures to social media (spoiler:judging by aria's reaction I'm guessing the pictures were suggestive in nature at best or sexting at the worst. and just wants to unwind with her paternal grandmother, Nainai in San Francisco to get her mind off of things. But Nainai's not at peace either. She's chained to her Boba shop and is forced to cook it daily. Something's not right, and it's going to take the boba of them to find out why!

No, you cannot arrest me for a pun. Moving on ...

Although the book was mostly lighthearted, there are still some minor stakes. Also, the animals friends are very cute here - prairie dogs and kittens.

I wanted to read this for a while when I saw it in a library, but someone else got it before I could. I had to go to another library to get this one. I glanced at the blurb, making Super Boba Café seem intriguing, and soon enough I picked it up. However, when I closed the final page, it was a unique reading experience.

It starts with the first person I see, Aria, moving to San Francisco from another town for undisclosed reasons. She soon helps her grandmother, Jing, run a bubble tea store, but something felt off the moment I kept reading the pages. It felt like the decisions Jing made hid something of negative implications, but I didn't know yet until the latter half of Super Boba Café. I headed in expecting a light-hearted read but instead I got a suspenseful one. It turns out that Jing has to feed a monster living in San Francisco no one knows of except her, and the only way to feed it is to cook a giant boba ball taking nine hours, or else the monster eats Jing instead. The last 100 pages or so revolve around Aria stumbling upon said monster and surviving the encounter, with her and Jing feeding it more boba. When you think about the plot, it sounds repetitive, and the world-building wasn't explained clearly enough. The characters are also only okay, and perhaps a second instalment in the series should clarify everything. At least there's a high note in the end. ( )

children's middlegrade graphic fiction (1st book in series)

13 y.o. Aria has an unforgettable adventure staying with her boba-shop owner Nainai in San Francisco with super bobas, kitties, an earthquake-causing monster, and hundreds of prairie dogs.

The illustration style looks like it would appeal to younger kids as well, though Aria's social media trouble (having private photos sent to a boy being shared online) would relate more to 4th/5th-8th grades. A cute story that reads quickly and leaves the reader, like the monster, wanting more. ( )
