Welcome to a new age…the age of the internet.
Allison is drowning under the weight of her manipulative
stage magician father. When he brings home the family’s first computer, she
escapes into a thrilling new world where she meetings Samir, a like-minded new
online friend who has just agreed to run away from home with her.
After moving to a new town and leaving all of his friends
behind, Richard receives a mysterious note in his locker with instructions on
how to connect to “Evol BBS,” a dial-in bulletin board system, and meets a
fierce punk named Tina who comes into his life and shakes his entire worldview
loose.
Unlikely alliances, first love, and minor crime sprees
abound in this teen graphic novel debut about making connections while your
world is falling apart.
