� "A truly fantastic and captivating world." - Carlos S�nchez, award-winning creator of Rune "I loved this book! A surreal and epic adventure." - Louie Stowell, author of the Loki series
"An exhilarating adventure from start to finish, Wilomina combines enthralling twists with enchanting illustrations. Perfect for fans of Spirited Away." - Vivian Truong, illustrator of City of Dragons Studio Ghibli meets Wednesday in this action-packed, fantastical full-colour graphic novel for readers aged 8-12, full of wild imagination, enchanting characters and hair-raising adventure. On their way to visit Mum in hospital, Wilomina, her father and baby brother Kes get stuck in the middle of nowhere. Desperate, Wilomina leaps aboard a mysterious train - and away from the world she knows. On board, she meets Mephisto, a talking cat - and this is only the beginning of the absurd... Soon, Wilomina is separated from her family, tumbling into Nocturna - a parallel land where dreams and nightmares come from. But something eerie is happening: the nightmares are taking over. With Mephisto's help, Wilomina must find her family and seek the gate that will lead them home. On their journey, they meet spectres, dragons and spider-witches, crossing monster-infested waters and facing impossible puzzles at the maze-like Premonition Library. But worst of all: Nocturna is slowly transforming Wilomina into a ferocious 'werepire'. Can she fight the monster within... and find the way home? A magical adventure with a spooky, gothic slant, a brave heroine and vibrant, dynamic artwork. Brilliantly accessible for comic fans and growing readers who are ready to start exploring the world of magical fantasy. Reminiscent of classic, beloved children's films like Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro, The NeverEnding Story and Labyrinth. Written and illustrated by an award-winning graphic novel duo based in Scotland. PRAISE FOR WILOMINA: THE LAND OF DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES " Wilomina has an irresistible classic feel." - Lancashire Post "A thrilling, gripping, wild-ride of an adventure." - Sophie Anderson, author of The House with Chicken Legs "A colorful dreamworld comes alive in this adventure full of thrills and chills and twists and turns." - Tim Probert, author and illustrator of the Lightfall series "A glorious visual feast with an enchanting story full of humour, heart and imagination." - William Yamaguchi Dobson, author of Kamizen: Fortress of Lost Memories
