Keiko Nishijima: Life Is Sweet (A Graphic Novel), Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Discover four best friends with big dreams-and even bigger hearts-in this fully-illustrated graphic novel prequel to The Candymakers !

It's 1952, and in the tiny town of Brookdale, the scent of sugar and springtime fills the air, adventure is only a bike ride away, and four friends-Sam, Frank, Evy, and Henry-are chasing dreams much bigger than their small town can hold.

A regular at the junkyard, Sam Sweet can find anything-except the courage to enter the first Nationwide New Candy Contest. Frank dreams of creating maps that people will want to crawl inside of. New-in-town Evy longs to dazzle with magic tricks. And Frank's little brother Henry? He just wants to make (and eat!) the fluffiest marshmallows the world has ever seen. Though their dreams are all different, these lifelong friends will learn that when they work together, they can turn the impossible into something wonderfully sweet.

Brimming with heart, humor, and the magic of true friendship, Wendy Mass's delicious tale, richly illustrated by Keiko Nishijima, is sure to inspire readers to find what they're meant to do-and the people who will help them get there.
