trying to get his best friend to fall in love with him that's an
"unabashed love letter and delightful inside joke for comic enthusiasts"
(Kirkus Reviews).
Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy...
Archie and Veronica...
Althena and Noth...
...Graham and Roxy?
Graham met his best friend, Roxana, when he moved into her neighborhood
eight years ago, and she asked him which Hogwarts house he'd be sorted
into. Graham has been in love with her ever since.
But now they're sixteen, still neighbors, still best friends. And Graham
and Roxy share more than ever--moving on from their Harry Potter
obsession to a serious love of comic books.
When Graham learns that the creator of their favorite comic, The
Chronicles of Althena, is making a rare appearance at this year's New
York Comic Con, he knows he must score tickets. And the event inspires
Graham to come up with the perfect plan to tell Roxy how he really feels
about her. He's got three days to woo his best friend at the coolest,
kookiest con full of superheroes and supervillains. But no one at a
comic book convention is who they appear to be...even Roxy. And Graham
is starting to realize fictional love stories are way less complicated
than real-life ones.
