1000 STORMS HC

(W) Tony Sandoval (A) Tony Sandoval (CA) Tony Sandoval

Lisa is a lonely girl who enjoys wandering nature and collecting odd bones and pebbles. The other kids think she's kinda weird, maybe a witch, and avoid her. When one day she discovers a tree that allows passage to a parallel world, she finds herself in the middle of a demonic invasion plot, faced with saving the very children who ridiculed her. In this magical tale (set in the same world as WATERSNAKES), Tony Sandoval takes readers back to his world of mysterious adolescence and surreal beauty. Like WATERSNAKES, and DOOMBOY before it, the reader is faced with recognizable feelings of solitude and longing mixed with danger and adventure through a visual wonderland.
