After his parents’ divorce, Denny Auramen, a young boy on the autism spectrum, moves in with his older sister Jenna.

Fibbed GN – Razorbill releases a magical graphic novel about the power of stories. Nana always tells the truth, but no one believes her wild stories. When another outlandish explanation lands her in hot water again, her parents send her to spend the summer with her grandmother in Ghana. Nana isn’t happy that she is going to be missing the summer camp she’s been looking forward to all year, or to be living with family she barely knows in a country where she can’t really speak the native language. Her troubles only grow when she learns that the village and surrounding forest is a place of magic watched over by Ananse, the trickster spider of legend. When greedy contractors start draining the magic from the land, intent on selling the wishes for their own gain, Nana must join forces with her cousin Tiwaa, new friend Akwes,i and Ananse himself to save the magic before it and the forest are gone for good. Filled with magic and adventure, this title will make a good addition to any graphic novel library.
