Forever Home | Exclusive Preview

Today we have an exclusive new look at Forever Home, an original middle-grade graphic novel by Jenna Ayoub that will debut later this month from BOOM! Studios under their KaBOOM! imprint:
Willow has had a nomadic childhood—with two parents in the military, staying put has become a pipe dream. And when the family arrives at their latest stop— the historic Hadleigh House— Willow encounters something that doesn’t help her chances of finding home…ghosts!
Hadleigh House’s spectral residents have been scaring off would-be homebuyers for decades, and they intend to keep the house to themselves. But Willow’s not about to let some nagging spirits force her to move for the millionth time. As Willow spends time in the house and gains the ghosts’ respect through her own strong will to stay in the house no matter what, they find that all of them belong there. Together, the restless spirits are finally able to find some peace, and Willow finds a home.
Then it’s just a matter of convincing Willow’s parents that this old house is the one for them—ghosts included.
We posted an exclusive preview when last year, and now we have a bit more of the story. Forever Home will be available in comic shops on February 17 and in bookstores on February 23. Enjoy!
