The Ojja-Wojja (Paperback)

The first in a new graphic novel series from indie comic stars Magdalene Visaggio and Jenn St-Onge is a coming-of-age story about the transformative power of friendship. And an immortal demon with the power to take over the world. But mostly the friendship thing.

Welcome to Bolingbroke. It’s a small town just like any other . . . or so eighth graders Val and Lanie think. Theyre the best of best friendsthey love the same comics, they watch the same shows, and theyre always there for each other. Which is important when youre queer, like Lanie, or on the spectrum, like Val, and just dont seem to fit in anywhere.

When a school project about their hometowns supernatural history leads to a for-real ghost sighting, Val and Lanie realize Bolingbroke might not be as boring as theyd always thought. But after a run-in with the resident middle school queen bee (who also happens to be Lanies former friend), they decide to take things to the next level . . . and accidentally summon the Ojja-Wojja, a demonic presence connected to a slew of mysterious tragedies throughout Bolingbrokes sordid history.

Now all heck has broken loose. With the whole town acting weird and nowhere left to turn, its going to be up to Val, Lanie, and their small group of friends to return things to normalif normal is even something they want to return to.
