Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Club: Roll Call

Welcome to Dungeon Club, where after-school friendship meets the magic of tabletop adventure. In the first book of this charming middle-grade graphic novel series, acclaimed storytellers Molly Knox Ostertag (The Witch Boy, The Girl from the Sea) and illustrator Xanthe Bouma (5 Worlds, The Dragon Prince) blend real-life school drama with the boundless imagination of Dungeons & Dragons.

Best friends Olivia and Jess have been creating stories together for as long as they can remember—first as kids inventing games in their living rooms, and now through D&D campaigns of their own. Olivia leads as Dungeon Master; Jess plays Sir Corius, a bold lone-wolf hero who charges headfirst into danger. But as middle school complicates everything—friend groups, expectations, growing up—their once-easy partnership starts to wobble. What happens when real-world feelings spill into fantasy worlds?

Heartfelt, funny, and full of epic energy, Dungeon Club: Roll Call celebrates friendship, creativity, and the magic of collaborative storytelling. A perfect pick for young gamers, graphic novel fans, and anyone who’s ever rolled a d20 and hoped for a natural 20 on being understood.
