“This well-paced and humorous graphic novel will appeal to readers looking for a triumphant story about being in charge of your own narrative….A delightfully spirited adventure.” * Kirkus Reviews *“Baldwin’s expressive full-color art…and Garrity’s text both delight in their humor, conveying accentuated reactions, ranging from shocked to stoic, that lean into gleeful absurdity. A romp made especially enjoyable by Haley’s indulgent delight in Willowweep’s ability to make her literary dreams a reality.” * Publishers Weekly *“A delightful story for any age.” * Nerdist “Hilarious and exciting…The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor celebrates and satirizes a beloved genre while encouraging readers to defy the rules and become the heroes of their own stories.” * Bookpage, starred review *
