Synopsis

WINNER OF THE EISNER AWARD • From the New York Times bestselling creators of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl comes a twisty, spellbinding adventure about a girl and her dog who want to save the world.

“It’s been a while since a book sucked me in so completely. Easily my favorite book of the year.”—Tillie Walden, Eisner Award-winning creator of Spinning

“This comic has everything: brilliant artwork, a roller-coaster story, sharp comedy, heartfelt teen romance, and the best talking dog ever.”—Faith Erin Hicks, New York Times bestselling illustrator of Pumpkinheads

I’m gonna tell you a story, and I'm gonna ask that you let me finish before you say anything.

Here's the deal—on midnight of January 1, 2000, the world ended. But it wasn’t technology that killed it: It was magic. Now, years later, Earth has transformed.

Magic works (sort of).

People are happy (sort of). But this new world isn’t stable, and unless Marguerite de Pruitt and her canine pal, Daisy, do something about it, it’ll tilt into deadly chaos. Good thing they’ve been training their whole lives for this and are destined to succeed.

Or so they think.

Award-winning creators Ryan North and Erica Henderson serve up a story about the search for truth, chosen family, and rebirth. The journey of Marguerite and Daisy seeks to ask one vital question: How far are you willing to go to save the world?
