Fighting alien kaiju with your family on a Friday night is a totally normal part of being a teenager...right?

Well, it is for Maise who, despite her protests, continues the family legacy of keeping the world safe, all while trying to get good grades, impress her crush, and balance extracurriculars.

But growing up in this family means Maise must live up to the expectations of those she's destined to protect while not losing herself in the process.

Matt Braly (Disney's Amphibia) and Ainsworth Lin team up for the YA graphic novel of the year full of action and charm in FAMILY FORCE V!

"Braly's story features engaging family dynamics, and Maise's emotionally compelling arc of self-discovery and self-exploration make her a sympathetic main character. Well-fleshed-out side characters have their own agendas and internal conflicts. Lin's dynamic full-color art flows exceptionally well, evoking different feelings through contrasting spreads. The occasional inclusion of Japanese and Thai script adds to the immersive experience. An action-packed adventure that's full of heart." --Kirkus Reviews
