On Tuesday March 12, 2013 at 8pm Eastern Time, we’ll be discussing Friends with Boys with writer/artist Faith Erin Hicks during a Creators Workshop live, online Book Club session.
Friends with Boys is a coming-of-age tale with a spooky twist, about Maggie McKay, who, after an idyllic childhood of homeschooling with her mother and rough-housing with her older brothers, must face the outside world all on her own.
But that means facing high school first. And it also means solving the mystery of the melancholy ghost who has silently followed Maggie throughout her entire life.
Friends With Boys is a 211-page graphic novel published by First Second Books.
A free 20-page preview is available right here.
Faith Erin Hicks is a writer and artist in Halifax, Canada. Her first two graphic novels, Zombies Calling and The War at Ellsmere, were published by SLG Publishing. Most recently, she illustrated First Second’s Brain Camp. Hicks has three brothers and was homeschooled until high school, but has never seen a ghost.
Hicks began drawing comics and putting them on the internet in 1999. Since that time, she’s drawn more than 1600 pages of comics including her first online comic, Demonology 101, The Adventures of Superhero Girl, and Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong.
We’re looking forward to a great discussion!
There’s still time to join us at the Creators Workshop before these live sessions. We hope to see you there.
