"A truly fantastic and captivating world."
- Carlos Sánchez, award-winning creator of Rune
"A glorious visual feast with an enchanting
story full of humour, heart and imagination." - William
Yamaguchi Dobson, author of Kamizen: Fortress of Lost Memories
Studio Ghibli meets Wednesday in this action-packed,
fantastical full-colour graphic novel for readers aged 8-12,
full of wild imagination, enchanting characters and hair-raising
adventure.
On their way to visit Mum in hospital, Wilomina, her father and
baby brother Kes get stuck in the middle of nowhere. Desperate,
Wilomina leaps aboard a mysterious train - and away from the world
she knows. On board, she meets Mephisto, a talking cat - and this
is only the beginning of the absurd...
Soon, Wilomina is separated from her family, tumbling into Nocturna
- a parallel land where dreams and nightmares come from. But
something eerie is happening: the nightmares are taking over. With
Mephisto's help, Wilomina must find her family and seek the gate
that will lead them home. On their journey, they meet spectres,
dragons and spider-witches, crossing monster-infested waters and
facing impossible puzzles at the maze-like Premonition Library.
But worst of all: Nocturna is slowly transforming Wilomina into
a ferocious 'werepire'. Can she fight the monster within... and
find the way home?
A magical adventure with a spooky, gothic slant, a brave heroine
and vibrant, dynamic artwork.
Brilliantly accessible for comic fans and growing readers who
are ready to start exploring the world of magical fantasy.
Reminiscent of classic, beloved children's films like Spirited
Away, My Neighbour Totoro, The NeverEnding Story
and Labyrinth.
Written and illustrated by an award-winning graphic novel duo
based in Scotland.
