Home Time: Twelve Days

Talking peaches, magic tea, frightening wildlife, and more—the award-winning fantasy epic graphic novel that critics called “an intoxicating and visually stunning Australian Narnia” is now collected into a single massive volume!

The last school bell has rung, and it’s finally HOME TIME! Even though they’re twins, Lily and David don’t agree on much…except that the last summer before high school is the perfect time for relaxing with friends.

But their plans for sleepovers, fantasy games, and romance are thrown out the window when the whole gang falls into a river and wakes up in a village of fantastic creatures. Hailed as magical spirits, threatened by lizards, and trained in the mysterious arts of tea-brewing, these kids must find their way home—if they don’t throttle each other first.

Featuring a kaleidoscope of art styles, a puzzle-box narrative structure, and a spectacular reimagining of his childhood hometown, Campbell Whyte’s astonishing Australian fantasy series is now collected in one volume for the first time.

Campbell Whyte was born in Perth, where he makes stories about place and strives to create an inclusive and supportive comics community.
