Online Webcomics & Books (always free!)

  • ​Beauty and the Beast: Megan Kearney retells the classic "Beauty and the Beast" in striking black and white illustrations with stunning characters and inspiration pulled from dozens of works.
  • Check, Please! : When a happy-go-lucky former figure skater joins his college hockey team, hilarity ensues, but so do lasting friendships and even a growing romance between protagonist Bitty and team captain Jack.
  • Heartstopper: 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...?
  • Space Boy: A girl who belongs in a different time. A boy possessed by an emptiness as deep as space. A story about an alien artifact, a mysterious murder, and a love that crosses light years.
  • Witchy​: In the witch kingdom Hyalin, the strength of your magic is determined by the length of your hair. Those that are strong enough are conscripted by the Witch Guard, who enforce the law in peacetime and protect the land during war. However, those with hair judged too long are pronounced enemies of the kingdom, and annihilated.
  • Riveted Lit is an online community from Simon Teen publishers where you can read YA books for free. Each month features new and unique titles.
