Lost Legends of Nothing - by Alejandra Green & Fanny Rodriguez (Paperback)

About the Book

"After the battle with Stryx, Nathan is lost and alone (again). But this time, he has friend to find and a quest to continue! At least no one is chasing him...well, except for that ancient evil spirit trying to destroy Nothing. Oh, and the war started (great!). Once reunited, Nathan, Haven, Sina and Bardou must continue their journey to the Edge. Nathan has visions of Lerina that intensify as they travel, and the group discovers that the clues to save Nothing may reside in the lost legends of the part. Unexpected allies appear but new enemies lurk everywhere, and the most powerful foe is attacking Haven's spirit from within, creating a race against time to save them. If Nathan and his band of friends weren't already feeling the pressure, they must prevent two realms from tearing Nothing apart, defeat Stryx, and not die in the process (no biggie). Otherwise, volken, faes, and all magic could vanish from Nothing...forever."--Back of book.

Review Quotes

Praise for Fantastic Tales of Nothing: "Green and Rodriguez's unique visual style depicts familiar fantasy settings with a cinematic sensibility (think a tactile, immersive Studio Ghibli film), bringing their world to life with magnificent lighting and quality... constant verbal jests, visual puns, and all manner of humorous allusions... A new contender for Kazu Kibuishi and Ethan M. Aldridge die-hards (with a higher page count to boot)." - School Library Journal
