Every night, tiny lights appear out of the darkness in Sandy's bedroom. She catches them and creates wonderful creatures to play with until she falls asleep, and in the morning she brings them back to life in her whimsical drawings. When a mysterious new girl appears at school, Sandy's drawings are noticed for the first time, but Morfie's fascination with Sandy's talent soon turns into something far more sinister.

Nightlights is a beautiful story about fear, insecurity, and creativity, from the enchanting imagination of Lorena Alvarez.

Written by David Blandy and Adam Rutherford. Art by Locke Daniel.

What links Gutenberg's printing press, abstract expressionism, the theory of relativity, the discovery of DNA, hip-hop and the Internet? Spanning millennia, Daniel Locke's ambitious graphic novel explores humanity's inherent "dreaming mind" and its impact on our world. Surreal sequences take us from Gutenberg's printing press to Tim Berners-Lee's World Wide Web via Picasso, Einstein, Grandmaster Flash, and more. Locke shows how our basic instinct to observe, record, and connect has formed the basis for all human invention and progress.

What happened last night?

And she can't stop thinking about her huge crush on Madeleine, who she definitely can't tell about her sudden penchant for kleptomania... But does Maddy have secrets of her own?

Can they piece together that night between them and fix the mess of their chaotic personal lives in time to form a normal, teenage relationship? That would be nice.
