Award-winning author Katie Cook’s
beloved, all-ages Webtoon series of magic, mayhem, and vegetables is now a graphic novel: Nothing Special, Volume One: Through the Elder Woods (Ten Speed Graphic; on sale March 5th, 2024). Volume One covers the Webtoon’s first season and will feature never-before-seen material from Cook.
Nothing Special: Volume One follows the life of Callie, a teenager who is friends with the ghost of a radish and whose dad owns a magical antique shop. Callie’s dad won’t let her join him on his collection trips in the magical realm “for her own protection”, so she’s lived her whole life in the human world and considers herself to be nothing special. But on her seventeenth birthday, Callie and her friend Declan find her home in disarray and her dad missing. Signs of a struggle point to the portal to the magical realm, and it’s up to Callie, Declan, and Radish to band together and bring him home. As they face creatures good and bad, and all sorts of adventure, Callie and Declan may just find out that they are both special in their own ways after all.
