An atmospheric and profound coming-of-age graphic novel about a Malaysian American teen carving out her own identity in the uneasy space between friends and family. Fifteen-year-old Azar feels stuck. Her mom's job forced them to move to Vermont- where Azar doesn't know anyone. Her only friends are the next-door neighbors: an aging sci-fi writer and his nonbinary teen- Tristan- fellow misfits in the small-town community. For a while- Azar can escape her troubles by disappearing into the pages of her kindly neighbor's epic novel- The Exiles of Overworld. But when her queerness throws her life out of balance- Azar realizes some secrets can't be escaped forever. Somewhere in the abandoned malls- lakes- and comic conventions that fill her new life- Azar fights to find herself. What else will she discover?
