On A Sunbeam

Tillie Walden
GN Walden On A Sunbeam

A ragtag crew travels to the deepest reaches of space, rebuilding beautiful, broken structures to piece the past together. Two girls meet in boarding school and fall deeply in love—only to learn the pain of loss. With interwoven timelines and stunning art, award-winning graphic novelist Tillie Walden creates an inventive world, breathtaking romance, and an epic quest for love.—McMillan Palgrave



"Beautiful art and colors portray a 'space story' of navigating love, loss, and identity."—Submitted by Laura W., Senior Information Assistant
