GIRL WHO OWNED A CITY cover
The Girl Who Owned a City adaptation, written by Dan Jolley and drawn by me, and based on the classic young adult novel by O.T. Nelson, comes out in April. This is the cover the publisher (Graphic Universe) put together:
You can read an early review here. It's very positive and non-spoilery.
Holy crap! I was JUST talking about this book yesterday! My guy and I were discussing which books we "had" to read in middle school and high school and which ones were actually good. I "had" to read this book in 7th grade, but I loved it. Maybe once your adaptation is out I can show it to my guy! <3
By the way, I found my way here via Rachel Nabors' website. Just in case you want to send her some love.
