Impulse

Impulse is a fast-paced graphic novel following Dylan Crow, a 14-year-old foster child who finds solace in skateboarding through New York City. When he inadvertently becomes entangled in the hunt for a mysterious 'Artifact' and falls in with a 'wrong crowd,' Dylan must make difficult choices. The story explores themes of friendship, loyalty, family, and standing up for what's right, as Dylan teams up with a secret group called 'The Revolution' to protect those he cares about. While the protagonist is 14, the book's themes and graphic novel format make it accessible and engaging for readers aged 4-11, particularly those transitioning to independent reading.

Fourteen-year-old Dylan Crow, known as Slider, prefers skateboarding around New York to going to school--but when he gets mixed up in the search for the Artifact he needs the help of The Revolution to save himself, his foster family, and his friend Juliet.
