If you were the onlly living boy on the planet, what would you do?

When 12-year old Erik Farrell runs away from home, he finds himself without his memory, stranded on a patchwork planet with danger lurking around every corner. Now every day is a struggle to survive. Luckily, Erik quickly makes friends like Morgan, a mermaid warrior and Thea, a teenage princess from a mysterious insect race. He'll need their help to escape the Dreaded Lord Baalikar and the evil Doctor once and maybe, one day, find his way back home.

The Only Living Boy is rollicking adventure in the tradition of THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA and PERCY JACKSON. Gorgeous artwork from illustrator Steve Ellis helps make this one of the most eagerly anticipated graphic novels of the season.
