Twelve-year-old Lucy Lareau already is a published author, partnering with her mother, Liz, on a planned 10-book series of graphic novels about the “Geeky F@b 5” to inspire tween girls to raise their voices and make a difference.

The first book in the series — “It’s Not Rocket Science,” to be released July 31 by New York-based Papercutz — premiered at the American Booksellers Association Children’s Institute in June in New Orleans. And on that conference’s heels in the same city, the Laureaus served on a girl-power graphic-novel panel at the American Library Association’s annual conference and exhibition.
