Comics Will Break Your Heart

"A sweet, funny contemporary teen romance for the inner geek in all of us from fan-favorite graphic novelist Faith Erin Hicks. Miriam's family should be rich. Her grandfather was the co-creator of smash-hit comics series The TomorrowMen. But he sold his rights to the series to his co-creator in the 1960s for practically nothing, and now that's what Miriam has: practically nothing. And practically nothing to look forward to either-how can she afford college when her family can barely keep a roof above their heads? As if she didn't have enough to worry about, Miriam's life gets much more complicated when a cute boy shows up in town and turns out to be the grandson of the man who defrauded Miriam's grandfather, and heir to the TomorrowMen fortune. This is a sensitive and funny Romeo-and-Juliet tale about modern romance, geek royalty, and what it takes to heal the long-festering scars of the past (spoiler alert: love)."
