PUNYCORN AND THE PRINCESS OF THIEVES HC GN
(W/A) Andi Watson
Big heroes come in small (and oddly shaped) packages in this comedic and heartwarming delight by multi-Eisner-Award-nominated graphic novelist Andi Watson. Punycorn the world's clumsiest unicorn is officially an apprentice hero, complete with the laminated membership card to prove it! Together with a dragon who can't breathe fire and a dung beetle with delusions of grandeur, Punycorn is on a mission to save a friend. Along the way, the trio battle a vain and decidedly dimwitted warlord and their own self-doubts, and they find an unexpected ally in a legendary female robber who secretly feeds the poor. High stakes action blends with laugh-out-loud humor in a story with themes of self-acceptance, betrayal and forgiveness, and the power of friendship. (STL371683) (C: 0-1-1)
