About the Author
Victoria is the Teen Services Librarian.
This was a beautiful read for reluctant readers, as well of those of us who just love a little adventure. A Goodreads review describes this graphic novel as reading "like Sam and Frodo on a Studio Ghibli adventure," and after just re-watching the Fellowship of the Ring, I can't help but agree. I absolutely love the illustrations in this book, as well as the message. It's funny, tender and themes are sure to resonate with both middle and high school readers. -Victoria
