Across The Stars And Shelves! Navigating With You Is Now Available!
A romance across the stars and the shelves… We’re pleased to announce our critically-acclaimed young adult graphic novel, Navigating With You, by Jeremy Whitley and Cassio Ribeiro, is now available at your favorite local comic shop and bookstore!
Neesha Sparks is a disabled, vocal community activist with a passion for costume design. Gabby Graciana is an optimistic surfer – and, like Neesha, a new kid at school. When the two girls discover that they like the same manga series, Navigator Nozomi, they become more than just fellow new kids. But it was more than just having read the same book series–neither of them had finished it! Soon, they become new friends on a mission – to track down the remaining Navigator Nozomi books. This slice-of-life romance follows the two girls as they adventure across North Carolina to find each book, with their story intercut with the tales of Navigator Nozomi. Neesha and Gabby find more than just the books though—they find acceptance, friendship, understanding, and love.
