Distance." The Distance threatens to destroy it all, and only Adora can
stop it!

Marc Bernardin's gorgeous, powerful Adora and the Distance was his way
of connecting with a child on the Autism spectrum. -- Vanity Fair
A letter from a parent to a child with love so overflowing that it's
visible on every page." -- Kelly Sue DeConnick (Captain Marvel,
Aquaman)
"Gorgeously rendered and tenderly told, ADORA AND THE DISTANCE is the
story of an extraordinary child--and the extraordinary people who love
her. You cannot help but be moved." --G. Willow Wilson (Co-creator, Ms.
Marvel)
"Adora and the Distance begins as a fantasy, all fun and brilliance,
like a Game of Thrones for teenage girls, and then transmutes into
something deeper and more moving, a reflection of an interior life that
solves all the riddles it has propounded in a way that is both
satisfying and heartbreaking. I'm so glad it exists." -- Neil Gaiman
(The Sandman, Coraline, American Gods)
Bernardin and Kristantina have pulled off a true magic trick. Adora and
the Distance lures you in with dazzling fantasy yet its true magic lies
its passionate, heartfelt exploration of deeper truths about connection,
understanding and forgiveness through love. One of the most daring and
heartfelt books I've read this year. -- Scott Snyder (Batman,
Nocterra)
