Translated by Anne Smith.
Illustrated by
Matthieu Bonhomme.
William's life is in upheaval: his father has (supposedly) died, his mother marries another man, and his sister disappears in search of their father; William takes off on an epic quest to find his father and sister. This French-import graphic novel, a surreal mix of medieval fantasy and mythology, is buoyed by art that successfully brings the muddled story's weirdness to life.
