A 256-page, graphic novel

(science fiction/fantasy)

Logline

With the help of friends and her budding powers, Mother Nature's daughter Lily must stop an alien from discrediting her father and seizing his moon kingdom's throne in a tale of courage, destiny, and the unyielding bonds of family.

ISSUE ONE:

The Lunar Park Preserve

Ten-year-old Lily has always felt disconnected from her eccentric parents, who assume the roles of Mother Nature and The Man in the Moon while managing a quirky nature and science theme park. She feels she has outgrown their "childish" personas—until an alien named Althea Vandromeda abducts her father for possessing an alien spaceship! As a shadowy organization closes in on the spaceship, Lily, her friends Addie and Theo, her loyal dog Duke, and Helix—a robot guide—embark on a daring one-way trip to the moon, where unknown dangers await them.

ISSUE TWO:

The Moon Palace

Upon arriving on the moon, Lily discovers that Althea Vandromeda has imprisoned her father, seized control of the massive domed Moon Palace on the surface, and declared herself Queen of the Moon. To make matters worse, the essential resources of water and air, supplied to the dome from the vast subterranean world of Luminaria, have been cut off. Lily and her friends must team up with unlikely alien allies and navigate treacherous lunar landscapes to rescue her father and reclaim the Moon Palace. As the palace's resources dwindle, Althea enlists the help of a wealthy and powerful octopus ally to build her army and conquer Luminaria for its precious supplies. Along the way, Lily discovers her mother's magical powers of nature awakening within her.

ISSUE THREE:

The Kingdom of Luminaria

In the subterranean world of Luminaria, Lily faces trials that test her courage and resilience. Along the way, she uncovers a hidden truth about Althea's past—a secret that may hold the key to saving her father's kingdom. As Althea's robot army prepares to invade Luminaria for its precious resources, Lily wins the hearts of the moon people and rallies an army of her own. With a daring rescue plan to save her father underway, Lily begins to harness her mother's nature powers and discovers the profound bond she shares with her parents and the legacy she is destined to uphold.

ISSUE FOUR

Moon Princess

This issue is secret for now, but it will reveal more of Lily’s powers as she proves herself a true leader. It will be epic, with many reveals, and a heart pounding finale that will have you at the edge of your seat!

Why this story?

This story comes from my love of fantasy adventure stories, nature, and science. As an educational content creator, I know how to weave content into a narrative to create a world where the main character learns as they grow emotionally. My main objective is, of course, to make pure escapism for the reader. Science and nature will be an influence but not the focus. I want the reader to root for my main character. She is small and vulnerable and learns to be a leader who builds the confidence to inspire others as she develops her "special powers."

Creating a graphic novel is a journey of a thousand steps, but having friends to share the trip makes it much more meaningful and fun.

Come along and see me create a book I know you will love .
