From comics legend Lewis Trondheim comes a quirky and hilarious graphic novel full of magic and mayhem!
There's something strange about the new kid in class. Maybe it's because he's from a faraway country where they practice different customs. Or maybe it's because his skin is green, he carries a club, and his favorite pastime is slaying elves.
Her teacher and classmates are unfazed, but to Aurora, it's obvious--the new kid is an orc! And as his unofficial chaperone, Aurora must teach him about human life and curb his outrageously orc-like behavior. But as she travels with him and sees more of his world, it becomes clear she also has much to learn, not just about him but her own family.
Lewis Trondheim
Lewis Trondheim is a key figure on the comics scene. His many awards include the Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoulême in 2006, followed by an exhibition at the Cité internationale de la bande dessinée et de l'image in 2020, revealing his talent for exploring the different forms of the ninth art, with both reverence and irony. His prolific work includes three major series: Lapinot (L'Association), Les Petits Riens (Delcourt) and Ralph Azham (Dupuis).
