After a lifetime of bounties and bloodshed, Viv is hanging up her sword. The battle-weary orc aims to start afresh, opening the city of Thune’s first-ever coffee shop. But old and new rivals stand in the way of success, not to mention the fact that no one has the faintest idea what coffee actually is.

If Viv wants to put the blade behind her and make her dreams a reality, she won’t be able to go it alone. After all, the true rewards of an uncharted path are the travelers you meet along the way. And whether they are drawn together by ancient magic, flaky pastry, or a freshly brewed cup―Viv may find something deeper here than she ever imagined…

This full-color graphic novel adaptation brings the high fantasy and low stakes of this beloved story to vibrant life as it’s never been seen before.

Magic makes the world go round, but no one in Charlie Goldskin’s world knows precisely where magic comes from. This isn’t Charlie’s problem. She’s the adopted daughter of a woodcarver and is training to be a librarian. It’ll be a quiet life, but that’s fine with Charlie, as magic is summoned through conflict and she would like to avoid that, thank you very much!

Then her birth father shows up to take her from her village and bring her to the king’s court.

Prince Leopold is gifted in the noble arts of diplomacy and combat, but he’s never met anyone like Charlie. Falling in love with her wouldn’t be an issue, except he’s already engaged, and his fiancée is the daughter of a very powerful evil witch. Charlie, panicking, decides to break the news to Princess Robin…but then she finds love at first sight, too. To resolve this love triangle, the teens are sent on a quest to discover the source of magic! So much for Charlie’s plans for a quiet life…

A charming graphic novel adventure about courage, friendship, and finding your own way through a story that was never meant for you.

SideQuested twists classic rescue-story tropes into something fresh, funny, and emotionally real. It’s a perfect fit for YA readers who love fantasy stories where kindness and cleverness matter more than swinging a sword.

THIRTY de Ariella Elovic

Do you sometimes wake up and wonder if your true adult life is just across the country? If you’ll ever get to fall asleep next to someone who admires your gnarled toes. If you’ll ever have the confidence to roast a whole chicken for a dinner party that you’ll host at your apartment, atop a fully-accessorized dining table?

THIRTY:
A Guide to Embracing the Wonderfully Messy Decade

34-year-old Brooklyn-based illustrator and author AriellaElovic has spent the last four years investigating (and being plagued by) these questions, and she writes with a revelation: The truth is, thirty (and adulthood) isn’t about finally feeling settled. It’s understanding that life is all about the in-between.

In these pages, Ariella presents an array of disorienting, thrilling, disappointing, hilarious, and grounding experiences in the most important areas of life—home, career, family, love — offering ways she’s been able to find « richness in the flailing. » Despite all that we’ve been told, our thirties are actually made more valuable by not having everything figured out.

Ariella Elovic is an illustrator and author living in Brooklyn. Her first book, Cheeky: A Head to Toe Memoir, was published in December 2020 with Bloomsbury. From 2020–2022, Ariella partnered with Aidy Bryant and Sudi Green (SNL, Shrill) to develop Cheeky as a pilot for Peacock. Her work has appeared in the New Yorker, the New York Times, Hey Alma, Cosmopolitan, and elsewhere. She writes and illustrates a weekly newsletter on Substack called Snack Time.
