520    "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. The only way to get 
       there, though, is to travel the strange and dangerous Blue
       Road that stretches to the horizon like a mark upon a 
       page. Along the way, Lacuna must overcome trials such as 
       the twisted briars of the Thicket of Tickets and the 
       intractable guard at the Rainbow Border. At the end of her
       treacherous journey, she reaches a city where memory and 
       vision can be turned against you, in a world of dazzling 
       beauty, divisive magic, and unlikely deliverance. Finally,
       Lacuna learns that leaving, arriving, returning - they're 
       all just different words for the same thing: starting all 
       over again. The Blue Road - the first graphic novel by 
       acclaimed poet and prose writer Wayde Compton and 
       illustrator April dela Noche Milne - explores the world 
       from a migrant's perspective with dreamlike wonder."--
