The shape of this universe.
Brume is a warm, cinematic fantasy graphic novel series by Jérôme Pélissier, gorgeously painted by Carine Hinder and translated from the French. It follows Brume, a spirited girl who dreams of being a real witch, if only her spells would behave, as she chases the mystery of a secret spellbook, a vanished village witch and the truth about her own past. Around her gathers a lovable band: the eager neighbour boy Hugo and a cheerfully renamed pet pig. Each volume mixes hilarious magical misfires with a genuine quest, taking the friends from fog-smothered villages into haunted forests and stranger lands full of yetis, fiery fairies and eerie folklore. Funny, whimsical and beautifully drawn, it is an inviting fantasy for young readers who love Hilda.
A feisty wannabe witch, a loyal pet pig and a mysterious spellbook power this lushly painted, funny fantasy quest translated from the French.
