Hupo and the Wonder Thief

Hupo and the Aletha love to amble through the bustling streets of their city, talking to shopkeepers and recounting tales of their favourite adventurer, the Great Humdingo -much to the annoyance of everyone around them. But when mysterious, zombifying mists creep into town and the Aletha is captured by a sinister force in the mountains, Hupo's on a mission to set everything to rights. But can he hold onto who he is when everything around him seems so terrible? Creator Billy Partridge whisks us into his magical tale with whimsical artwork and a story about imagination, adventure, and courage to be yourself, even if you have a big personality.

Review: Young or old, fans of the fantastical worlds of Miyazaki or the moody charm of Over the Garden Wall will be captivated by this graphic novel about staying true to yourself "whatever the weather." Hupo loves to talk about his favorite explorer, but nobody wants to listen. Then, dark creatures descend on the town, stealing their wonder and Hupo's best friend. Hupo's unabashed joy may be the only thing that can save them-if he can hold on to it. -- Danielle Ballantyne * Foreword Starred Reviews *
