Míriam Bonastre Tur: the Spanish author-illustrator behind Hooky, the New York Times-bestselling WEBTOON fantasy about twin witches, drawn in warm, expressive full colour and beloved by 9+ graphic-novel readers.

Míriam Bonastre Tur is a Spanish author-illustrator, born near Barcelona in 1994, whose hugely popular WEBTOON comic Hooky became a New York Times bestselling graphic-novel series. Collected across three full-colour volumes, Hooky follows twin witches Dani and Dorian, who miss the bus to magic school and, in trying to hide it from their parents, are swept into an ancient prophecy about the King of Witches, feuding magical families and a kingdom on the brink of war between witches and non-magical royals. What begins as warm, funny comedy grows real stakes, darkening through betrayal, loss and battle to a hopeful finale about prejudice, chosen family and choosing who you want to be. Her expressive, manga-influenced art and cast of instantly loveable misfits make this a firm favourite with graphic-novel readers aged 9 and up.
