For Violet, nothing in the whole galaxy matters more than family – so when her father vanishes on a hazardous job, sitting around doing nothing is simply not an option. Throwing caution to the stars, she sets off with a crew of misfit friends to find him, only to discover just how big and dangerous space can be for a young girl: her dad, it turns out, has been swallowed whole by a giant planet-eating whale, and the odds look stacked against them from the start… This year’s most exciting adventure comes from the Eisner award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of Habibi and Blankets. Visionary graphic novel creator Craig Thompson brings all his wit, warmth and humour to a brilliantly drawn story for all ages, set in a future both distant and familiar, weaving family, friendship and loyalty into a grand space adventure full of quirky aliens, awesome spaceships, and sharp commentary on our environmentally challenged world. ‘Like the twisted lovechild of Jack Kirby and Dr Seuss, Craig Thompson has created a new genre: the Adorable Epic.’ JOSS WHEDON
