Graphic novelist to visit Winslow shop

Canadian author/illustrator Faith Erin Hicks will visit Eagle Harbor Book Company at 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 27 to discuss “The Divided Earth,” the final book in the Nameless City trilogy, a series of graphic novels geared to kids aged 9-13.

Every nation that invades the City gives it a new name. But before long, new invaders arrive and the City changes hands once again. Kaidu is one such outsider. He’s a Dao born and bred — a member of the latest occupying nation.

Rat is a native of the Nameless City and hates everything Kai stands for.

However, their love for their home has brought these unlikely friends together to save it from destruction.

In the third and final installment in the Nameless City trilogy, the rogue Dao prince Erzi has wrested control of the City from his father and is determined to end the war for the Nameless City once and for all. Rat and Kai must infiltrate Erzi’s palace and steal back the ancient and deadly formula for napatha, the ancient weapon of mass destruction Erzi has unearthed — before he can use it to destroy everything Rat and Kai hold dear.

Hicks is a writer and artist living in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Her graphic novels include “Zombies Calling,” “The War at Ellsmere,” “Brain Camp” (with Susan Kim and Laurence Klavan), “Friends with Boys,” “Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong” (with Prudence Shen), the Bigfoot Boy series (with J. Torres), “The Last of Us: American Dreams” (with Neil Druckmann) and the Eisner Award-winning “The Adventures of Superhero Girl.”
