Shauna J Grant's First Baby-Sitters Book Printed Quarter Of A Million

Shauna J Grant’s first Baby-Sitters graphic novel had a quarter of a million print run from Scholastic Graphix

Shauna J. Grant is the creator of the Mimi comics series published by Scholastic Graphix, with her work appearing in the anthologies Black Comix Returns, Noisemakers, History Comics: Rosa Parks & Claudette Colvin: Civil Rights Heroes and The Secret Loves of Geeks. And now she is the writer/artist of the recently published graphic novel in the Baby-Sitters Little Sister line, Karen's Prize: A Graphic Novel, adapting the novel credited to series creator Ann M. Martin, and the next upcoming in the line, Karen's Surprise: A Graphic Novel, for May next year. And publisher Scholastic Graphix has given it a quarter of a million print run. If they sell every copy at $24.99, that's over $6 million gross. Shifa Kapadwala, senior manager, global brand publicity at Scholastic, says, "Karen's Prize is Shauna J. Grant's debut Baby-Sitters Little Sister graphic novel adaptation, as she joins a wonderful roster of graphic novel adapters for the beloved bestselling series by Ann M. Martin. Ann's story, combined with Shauna's expressive art, brings fan favourite Karen Brewer's adventures to life and makes this story a winner."
