This was a short and informative graphic novel that teaches important queer history. I enjoyed the representation and the way it brought the story of the Stonewall riots to life with beautiful art.

I felt the characters weren't always very realistic, especially the way our young main characters acted so callous about LGBTQ+ rights and history. As well, sometimes the progression of events in the story didn't quite make sense to me. Although I can understand that these narrative choices might have been made to emphasize the history being taught and why it's important to know.

Overall, I think this book would be a good resource for those wanting to learn more about the key events and people involved in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

I'd never heard of History Comics before requesting this ARC, but I'll be diving in and purchasing as many as I can. I recently became a staff advisor for the LGBT club at my district's high school and I can't wait for May to roll around so I can present them with this book! I'll be looking into the other published books in the History Comics series to give them as well.

History Comics: The Stonewall Riots is perfectly written for a young audience. It gives the perspective of young people today and takes the reader on a journey through time to show them that the treatment of LGBTQ groups was unfathomable in the not too distant past. The art is lovely, the story easy to follow, and the lessons invaluable to a youth that may not know this history. I will be purchasing copies for my school library.

This was an EXCELLENT book. It reminded me of things like the Magic School Bus or The Magic Treehouse series. Three young queer teens get transported back in time to the Stonewall riots and not only learn about history, but themselves as well. This would be a great resource for young students to learn both about LGBTQ+ history, and also recognize some of the things we in modern times tend to take advantage of. It also had resources for young LGBTQ people and young activists in the back. It is an excellent resource that teachers need to get ASAP!

Always a fan of Archie Bongiovanni's work. I was really glad to see this graphic representation of the Stonewall Riots and was impressed with the amount of Queer History crammed into such a small book.

First, I'm a huge fan of History Comics to begin with. Second, while this subject is covered in other books, and some even quite well, I appreciate a non-fiction graphic novel even more. This one hits close to home as I have seen many people in the LGBTQIA+ community who would rather sit on the sidelines or run than fight. And, while I understand the desire, it's nice to have these characters learn and change (as I hope others will now). While this book covers the basics of the Stonewall Riots, where it really hits for me is the addition of much more LGBTQIA+ history. As big a history nerd as I am (and pretty well versed in LGBTQIA+ history), I learned a couple of new things. This will grace the shelves of the libraries I buy for. for sure!

I absolutely adore this book. Stonewall is a topic that isn’t discussed or taught enough, so to approach it in this way and create a talking point for younger readers is truly brilliant!

Loved this book! It did a great job at making complex topics able to be understood by children. This is important history that all kids need to know

An interesting and engaging look at the Stonewall Riots which would interest older children and teachers. The way history was woven into the narrative of time-traveling, the dynamics of modern characters reflecting on the past and our involvement in political movements, and the sensitivity with which injustice was handled was strong. I look forward to reading more in this series.

When three teenagers (Natalia, Jax, and Rashad) are transported back in time to the Stonewall Riots with Natalia's abuela, they learn about how different being queer was in 1969. With the help of icons Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera and by making friendships, all the teens must explore their identities and how (and if) they are willing to take a stand for their rights. This graphic novel does an excellent job of bringing history to life and brining the conversation of rights into context for a new generation.

This graphic novel is a quick but informative read about The Stonewall Riots, a pivotal moment in LGBTQ+ history. While it is marketed towards teenagers, readers of all ages will learn something from this story. The illustrations are gorgeous and the layout is accessible, two features that can make or break a book like this.

This graphic novel is fiction, but through a story about a group of friends and one of their grandmas, we learn more about the history of LGBTQ rights and more importantly, the Stonewall Riots. The characters travel back in time and experience the riots in person, as well as the treatment of LGBTQ people. In the end, they are transported back to their real time, where they discuss how they are going to help the cause moving forward, by learning, and action. I thought the art was awesome, and the faces of the characters were so expressive. You really felt their sorrow, and their fear. I also liked that there was some extra history as well, going after the Stonewall Riots and what happened as the years went on.

I was given an advanced reader's copy via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own

A group of lgbt teenagers and their elderly friend get sucked back in time to the 1960s. They experience the Stonewall Riots in person and discover different ways that they can advocate for lgbt people in the present.
