Welcome to the Island of Vorn, where mythical creatures roam free and only the brightest students are invited to study them. In Book 1 of this riveting new middle grade graphic novel series, a gifted young cryptozoologist-in-training must learn to tame powerful beasts—including her own inner demons. For as long as she can remember, Sorceline has had a knack for the study of mythical creatures. Now a student at Professor Archibald Balzar’s prestigious school of cryptozoology, she’s eager to test her skills and earn a spot as one of Balzar’s apprentices. But for all her knowledge of gorgons, vampires, and griffins, Sorceline is mystified by her fellow humans. While she excels in her studies, she quickly clashes with her classmates, revealing her fiery temper. When one of her rivals suddenly disappears, Sorceline must set aside her anger and join the quest to find her. But the mystery only deepens, leading Sorceline on a journey far darker and more personal than she expected . . .

The art here is stunning. The premise, a school for cryptologists to learn healing skills, that has legs as the saying goes.

But a bit scattershot in execution. I had to wonder if this could be a translation issue, it had that feel, a bit off?

I looked for an image from the graphic to share.

Ah ha!! Yes it‘s in translation from French. I‘ll keep following the story; the art sells itself that well,

A group of kids work under an older man to heal mythical creatures who seem like people but are just treated as animals, but someone's making the kids disappear. The art style is absolutely a treat to look at, but I was lukewarm on the story. The characters are underdeveloped, and their relationships are even less developed and the story tries so hard to make you care about those connections without putting in the building work. #Comics

Clare-Dragonfly Pity, the art is lovely! 12mo
Kenyazero @Clare-Dragonfly I'd say it's at least worth looking through because the art really is a treat. 12mo
