"Easily my favourite book of the year." - Tillie Walden, Eisner Award-winning creator of Spinning

WINNER OF THE 2024 EISNER AWARD FOR BEST PUBLICATION FOR TEENS

I'm gonna tell you a story, and I'm gonna ask that you let me finish before you say anything.

Here's the dealβ€”on midnight of January 1st, 2000, the world ended. But it wasn't technology that killed itβ€”it was magic. Now, years later, the Earth has transformed. Magic works (sort of). People are happy (sort of). But this new world isn't stable, and unless Marguerite de Pruitt and her canine pal, Daisy, do something about it, it'll tilt into deadly chaos. Good thing they've been training their whole lives for this and are destined to succeed. Or so they think.

Ryan North and Erica Henderson, the bestselling masterminds behind Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, serve up a graphic novel that is equally laugh-out-loud adventure and emotional gut punch. A story about the search for truth, chosen family, and rebirth, the journey of Marguerite and Daisy seeks to ask one vital questionβ€”How far are you willing to go to save the world?

He's adapted Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five into a graphic novel, turned Shakespeare into NYT-bestselling choose-your-own-path books, and his book How to Invent Everything is nothing less than a complete cheat sheet for civilization.

Erica Henderson (she/her) is a multiple Eisner award-winning, New York Times bestselling artist best known for her iconic reboots of Marvel's The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and Archie's Jughead. Erica's latest work, Dracula Motherf**ker from Image Comics, was the #1 selling graphic novel at the time of release and has been rapidly garnering critical acclaim. Henderson was born in New York, graduated from Rhode Island School of Design, and lives in Somerville, Massachusetts. She has not lived in New York for a decade but still has very strong opinions on bagels.
