Superhero and super-dork antics collide in this continuation of the Miraculous Ladybug Chibi graphic novel series!

Bug out with your favorite superheroes, Ladybug and Cat Noir! Did you know, when these Parisian heroes aren’t watching out for akuma or guarding their secret identities – they’re judging sandcastles? But what happens when their friends are the contestants?!

Then, ordinary girl Marinette wants to get a picture with her crush, Adrien Agreste! Can a super-klutz take one good picture?

All this and more in the Miraculous Ladybug graphic novel series, influenced by the award-winning TV show and with chibi art from the Youtube shorts!
