The Complete Cottons - by Jim Pascoe (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

"A hearty, nuanced, and thought-provoking tale." --School Library Journal, starred review

With epic worldbuilding and breathtaking art, this special edition includes all three volumes of the Cottons graphic novel series, including its never-before-seen conclusion in volume 3! Perfect for fans of Warriors.

To her neighbors, Bridgebelle is an ordinary rabbit. She has a ho-hum life working at the carrot factory and caring for her ailing aunt. But Bridgebelle is anything but ordinary. She has the uncanny ability to create thokchas, objects of art that seem to work like magic. But thokchas have a destructive side, and the foxes, age-old enemy of the cottons, want to harness this power.

When disaster strikes her community--predators, dark magic, and mysterious plagues--Bridgebelle is left with an impossible question. Should she stop making thokchas like she's told? Or can she harness her gift to fight off the threats once and for all?

This epic omnibus collects all three volumes of Cottons, including The Secret of the Wind, The White Carrot, and the previously unpublished The Curse of the Vales.
