The shape of it
The shape of this universe.
Hupo is Billy Partridge's whimsical graphic novel series, set in the strange land of Yip and starring a small creature with an enormous personality and an even bigger appetite for adventure. Beautifully drawn and warmly funny, each book sends Hupo on a self-contained quest — first to save his town from a joy-stealing mist, then to a lagoon where trapped fears come surging back — that turns out to be far harder than the heroics in his favourite stories. The series celebrates courage, imagination and the freeing business of being unapologetically yourself, and is pitched squarely at newly independent 7–10 readers who love a friendly, exciting comic.
A whimsical, gorgeously drawn graphic novel series about a big-hearted, big-personality creature who longs for adventure — warm, funny and all about being yourself.
