About This Book
Reach for this book when your teen is grappling with a sense of disillusionment or questioning the 'grand plans' adults have laid out for them. It is a perfect fit for the young person who feels the weight of the world's problems and is trying to distinguish their own values from the expectations of their mentors or family members. Marguerite and her talking dog, Daisy, embark on a quest to save a world broken by a magical apocalypse, only to discover that the 'truth' they were raised on is far more complicated than they thought. This Eisner-winning graphic novel is a vibrant adventure that serves as a sophisticated metaphor for coming of age. It explores themes of identity, the burden of destiny, and the necessity of questioning authority. While the tone is often humorous and absurd, it delivers a profound emotional resonance that validates a teen's journey toward autonomy and ethical clarity.
