Molly Knox Ostertag: Ostertag, M: Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Club: Final Face-Of, Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

In the third and final installment of the heartfelt Dungeons & Dragons graphic novel series by Molly Knox Ostertag and Xanthe Bouma, the club battles new monsters---both real and imaginary---as their first campaign comes to an epic conclusion.

Tyler has a secret ---Sunny, the imaginary friend he had when he was younger, hasn't gone away. Not only that, she now acts as his butt-kicking character in his after-school D&D club, too. Whether it's helping him deal with his rowdy cousin, Luis, or avoiding his archnemesis, Kelly, at school, Sunny always has his back, often encouraging soft-spoken Tyler to be a little more...bold.

Until one day Sunny pushes Tyler a little too far and he unexpectedly confesses his feelings to Sam, his outspoken and dreamy crush. Instead of a happily ever after, Tyler's confession turns into gossip fodder for the entire school. Hurt and angry, Tyler banishes Sunny from his mind.

But the silence afterward is louder than Sunny's presence ever was, and Tyler must look to the people in his real life to discover who he truly is---and who he wants to be.

Praise for Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Club

A Harvey Award --Nominated series

"An absolutely wonderful story that exemplifies the joys, challenges, and lifelong memories forged between friends in the creative furnace of role-playing games. The vibrant, energetic art further elevates the beautiful dichotomy between epic, fantasy adventures and finding one's place in those awkward teenage years. I couldn't help but see much of myself and my own youth in parts of each character as they find their companions in real life through their imaginary adventures, and the sense of unparalleled bonding one finds within a good game group resonates deeply throughout this story. I absolutely loved it." ---Matthew Mercer, creator of Critical Role
