Description: "When Nyla is forced to leave her home in the country to start life again in the city, all she can think about is everything she misses from before. So when a comet comes crashing through the city streets and starts growing into a forest, Nyla can't resist a chance to head somewhere that feels closer to what she had before... but what starts as an escape could be just the thing to make her finally feel at home."--

Review Quotes: "A lovely story to share with anyone who is struggling to find comfort in a new situation."

"Flying Eye have a track record of producing beautifully illustrated graphic novels for young children, and Joe Todd-Stanton's The Comet falls squarely within that category. It's also idyllic, imaginative and comforting in showing the life of Nyla having to accept a change taking her away from the familiar. [...] The illustration is awe-inspiring, beautiful to look at, sparking the imagination, and with so much to discover, especially when the book has to be turned on its side to appreciate Nyla and her father visiting the other residents in their block. That's far from the only occasion, but is the most packed. All in all, gorgeous." -- Frank Plowright, Slings & Arrows Graphic Novel Guide
