The second volume in a lavishly illustrated adventure series set in a world where space exploration began during the Victorian era.
Alex Alice is a French graphic novelist whose works have been translated into more than fifteen languages. His comics in English include the esoteric thriller The Third Testament and the operatic fantasy Siegfried. In Castle in the Stars, he draws on Jules Verne and nineteenth-century romanticism to create a watercolor world of adventure and wonder.
"[The Moon-King] features dreamy watercolor artwork that supports
jaw-dropping plot twists and a cliff-hanger ending." -School
Library Journal "Alice's soft outlining and a blended watercolor
approach make the illustrations appear dreamlike and surreal,
perfectly matching the tone of the piece, while his anime-style
facial expressions and action sequences modernize the old-fashioned
appearance of the machines and locales. A whimsical choice for
high-fantasy lovers." --Booklist
