Rune will draw you right into its intricately constructed fantasy world of magic, wonder and quirky characters. Come for the adventure, stay for the waffles. * Tim Probert, Lightfall *
Softly rounded Adventure Time-style artwork that features a kaleidoscope of oddities to evoke Alice in Wonderland vibes [...] Nuanced explorations of friendship, resilience, and the discovery of one's potential in the face of adversity add emotional depth to this sweet and charming fantasy graphic novel series opener. * Publishers Weekly *
The Younger Readers category winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2025 is an immersive fantasy adventure in a realm full of unpredictable magic. Chiri and Dai stumble accidentally from our world into a land where they must stand against the Shadow King with an assortment of eccentric allies. Beautiful Ghibli-esque art, terrific characters and a fascinating magical system based on British Sign Language combine to make this series genuinely special. -- Nick Campbell * Waterstones Blog: Summer Reading for Older Readers *
