The Puzzling Fate of Millicent Graves (A Graphic Novel)

$24⁹⁹

In this middle-grade graphic novel that is part modern fantasy adventure and part coming-of-age comedy, perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket, Millicent Graves discovers that she can use the jigsaw puzzles in her creepy landlady's attic to alter the personalities and "improve" her friends and family, with hilarious and reality-warping results.

Description

Twelve-year-old Millicent Grave's life is a mess. After her mum sank all their money into a fancy fish tank business, her family had to move to an apartment with three creepy landladies.

Then fate (or, actually, the Fates) leads Millie to discover a room full of jigsaw puzzles that give her the power to fix the imperfections in everyone she knows. Soon, her sister is sensible instead of gross, and her mum is successful instead of unlucky. Dad still needs some work, and her new neighbour and classmate Sam Smolt is still annoying—but he's kind of becoming her best friend anyway.

And if there are mysterious new cracks in the universe in the exact shape of those puzzle pieces, that's not a problem, right? It's not like all of reality is about to unravel. Right? . . . Right?
