Curator’s note
Heartstopper is finally here: need we say more? This series of graphic novels depicts sweet young queer love between two boys, and is sure to tug at your heartstrings and make you tear up with queer joy.
Synopsis
This graphic novel is part of the Heartstopper series: Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, and Volume 4.
Charlie, a highly-strung, openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Friendship blooms quickly, but could there be something more...?
Charlie Spring is in Year 10 at Truham Grammar School for Boys. The past year hasn't been too great, but at least he's not being bullied anymore. Nick Nelson is in Year 11 and on the school rugby team. He's heard a little about Charlie - the kid who was outed last year and bullied for a few months - but he's never had the opportunity to talk to him.
They quickly become friends, and soon Charlie is falling hard for Nick, even though he doesn't think he has a chance. But love works in surprising ways, and sometimes good things are waiting just around the corner...
