Yen Press Announces Amy’s Big Brother; December 2023 Release

During the American Library Association Annual Conference & Exhibition, it was revealed that Yen Press’s JY imprint, which is known for original graphic novels, has announced that they will be publishing Amy’s Big Brother, the prequel book to Kyle’s Little Sister, in December 2023.

The creator of the book, BonHyung Jeong, says that similar to Kyle’s Little Sister, she covered a variety of relationships in this prequel book. Furthermore, there’s also the conflict between siblings, but this time it’s from the perspective of the first child, Amy. She has also said that she went deeper into the theme of romance with a couple of my young characters going through their first love.

Yen Press has also provided the synopsis for the book, as well as the cover, both of which are viewable below:

I’m not her babysitter… Having a little sister isn’t easy—she takes my soda, follows me around, and wants to tag along with me and my friends. Worse, she always gets her way with our parents! Sometimes I wonder if I was adopted just to look after her. (I know, it doesn’t make sense.) Going to middle school means at least she can’t bother me there. I’ll have plenty of time to practice to become MVP of the basketball team and maybe even…get a girlfriend! I finally managed to ask Hannah out on a date. Now how do I make sure Amy doesn’t follow me and ruin the day?!
