THE FAINT OF HEART - Living in a world where humans remove their hearts to avoid feeling pain, June is the only person left with a heart. When she finds a heart in a jar abandoned in an alley, June hopes to return her sister to normal with it and begins an unexpected adventure with a heartless boy who is somehow beginning to feel again.
A vivid, ethereal, and haunting debut teen graphic novel for readers of ND Stevenson’s Nimona and Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki’s This One Summer.
What would you do if you were the only person left with a heart? The only person left who felt anything at all? Would you give in to the pressure to conform? Or would you protect your heart at all costs? And what would happen if you found an abandoned heart in a jar, and it could change everything?
Part Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and part Severance, Kerilynn Wilson’s stunningly original debut will stay with you long after the last page.
