Though this hero’s journey follows a fairly predictable course, Abbie is an appealingly gruff and reticent protagonist with a worthy foil in Jaime, an enthusiastic local boy who is determined to make inroads with her. Originally published as a webcomic, this first graphic novel from picture book creator Magruder ( How to Find a Fox) unfolds over three chapters, setting the stage for Abbie’s adventures to come.
