<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"In the first volume of this epic new trilogy, rabbits and foxes inhabit a world where magic, technology, and art are used as weapons of war."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>From writer Jim Pascoe and illustrator Heidi Arnhold, <i>Cottons: The Secret of the Wind</i> is the first in a fantasy graphic novel series featuring rabbits and foxes inhabiting a world where magic, technology, and art are used as weapons of war.</b> <p/>To her neighbors in the Vale of Industry, Bridgebelle is an ordinary rabbit. All day long, she toils at the carrot factory. After a hard day, she returns home to care for her ailing auntie. And whenever she's out, she's watchful of the murderous foxes who prey on her kind. <p/>But Bridgebelle is not ordinary--she's a rabbit with talents beyond her own understanding. Using cha, the mysterious fuel that powers her world, she can change everyday objects into thokchas--magical, transforming works of art. Bridgebelle makes thokchas because they're beautiful. But there are those in her world who want to harness her powers and turn her art into a weapon.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Cottons is like <i>Wind in the Willows </i>and <i>Animal Farm</i> together in one gorgeous graphic novel!"<br>--Jeff Smith, creator of Bone, RASL, and Tuki Save the Humans <p/>"A mesmerizing tale of wild rabbits with dark secrets, this remarkably beautiful graphic novel is perfect for readers who love <i>Warriors</i> and <i>Redwall</i>.
