A Wrinkle in Time meets Brave New World in this thought-provoking debut graphic novel about one girl-s quest to save her family''s livelihood-and maybe existence itself.
Chloe and her older sister make souls by hand in an empty old house in the countryside. When their supply of breth-the raw material needed to make souls-runs dry, the evil McCorp tries to force them to franchise and make synthetic souls instead. Chloe sets out to the big city in hopes of finding a new source. And maybe a way to modernize their business that Lacey is so determined to keep in the past.
