Gina must use her magic to restore Earth to its original timeline in this epic New York Times bestselling graphic novel series that’s “an action-packed page-turner with heart” (Dav Pilkey, author of Dog Man).

“A story that can be enjoyed by the entire family.”—The New York Times
“Delightful, silly, tender, and most importantly: funny.” —Jeff Smith, bestselling author of the Bone comic series

Gina, Hilo, and D.J. are back for another epic adventure! But this time, Gina’s magic has drastically altered Earth’s timeline—reality is scrambled, magic is everywhere, and the normal world as it was before no longer exists. With strange and powerful magical creatures roaming everywhere, D.J.’s family missing, and the laws of magic outlawed, Gina must keep her powers a secret while working to reverse the curse. But can the trio find the key they need to fix the world before it’s too late?

Filled with colorful illustrations, laugh-out-loud text, and the occasional flying Bearacat, this action-packed graphic novel series shows that no matter where you come from, kindness, friendship, and choosing your own path are the greatest superpowers of all.

And for an outstanding gift, don’t forget to check out Hilo: The Epic Boxed Set, which includes the first 10 books in the series!
