(W) Molly Knox Ostertag (A) Xanthe Bouma
HarperAlley partners up with The Wizards of the Coast in the first book of a new graphic novel series by Molly Knox Ostertag and Xanthe Bouma to masterfully blend together a contemporary middle-grade school story with the high fantasy world of Dungeons & Dragons. Best friends Olivia and Jess have always loved making up stories...first with little-kid games of imagination and, more recently, with the sword-and-sorcery tabletop roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons. Olivia runs the game as Dungeon Master, while Jess is the solo party member, playing a take-no-prisoners, lone-wolf character of her own design named Sir Corius. But when Olivia wants to add a new player to their club, Jess finds herself struggling to share their game-and her best friend.
