The Moon Within

Aida Salazar

 

 
 

In this stunning graphic novel, Lacuna is a girl without a family, a past or a proper home. She lives alone in a swamp made of ink, but with the help of Polaris, a will-o'-the-wisp, she embarks for the fabled Northern Kingdom, where she might find people like her. Lacuna learns that leaving, arriving, returning — they're all just different words for the same thing: starting all over again. (adapted - Arsenal Pulp Press)
