Shaenon K. Garrity
Nimona meets Paper Girls with a literary twist in this wickedly funny graphic novel about a teenager who is swept up in a strange new universe and must save it from an all-consuming evil in order to return home.One dark and stormy night, Haley sees a stranger drowning in the river. Since her greatest passion is Gothic romance novels, she knows her moment has come. But when Haley leaps into the water to rescue the stranger, she awakens in Willowweep. It certainly looks like the setting of one of her favorite books: A stately manor. A sinister housekeeper. Three brooding brothers. There’s even a ghost. Except Willowweep is not what it seems. Its romantic exterior hides the workings of a pocket universe—the only protection our world has against a great force of penultimate evil, and its defenses are crumbling. Could cruel fate make Haley the heroine that Willowweep needs?

"Cute. A bit of a fever dream and very meta, but still funny and clever enough to enjoy. "

"A hilarious book that’s well-paced throughout! It has an expressive and engaging art style, and it’s fairly easy to keep up with the panels/overall plot. HIGHLY underrated and not talked about enough."

"This is a 4.5 for me. I loved it way more then expected. It was a one sitting book. I liked the romance it was light but still had a good pot that kept me engaged the whole time. I never new where the story was going and I really enjoyed that. The art style was a bit cartoonish but I overall really enjoyed the book!"
