The shape of it
The shape of this universe.
Jeff Victor's You Wish is a warm, propulsive fantasy graphic-novel series pitched squarely at fans of the great middle-grade quest comics. Ten-year-old Avery McLean helps her dad keep a run-down desert gas station going until she uncovers the power sleeping inside a battered old lamp and is swept into a dazzling, dangerous magical world. Alongside her strange companion Gribblet, Avery must master her own hidden power, unravel buried family secrets and save the people she loves from the sinister Shadow Spinner. Expressive, colourful art and a heroine easy to root for drive an adventure that grows bigger, bolder and richer in mythology with each volume.
A lonely desert girl releases the magic in an old lamp and is pulled into a dazzling, dangerous world. A big-hearted fantasy quest for fans of Bone and Amulet.
