Author of Princess Princess EverAfter Announces Latest YA Graphic Novel The Tea Dragon Society
New Zealand author Katie O'Neill has announced her latest graphic novel The Tea Dragon Society (978-1620104415, $17.99) from Oni Press, releasing October 31, 2017. After publishing her beloved queer-friendly fairy tale Princess Princess Ever After
(978-1620103401, $12.99) last year, she is back with another beautifully illustrated and poignantly written story about friendship, acceptance, and tradition.
The Tea Dragon Society is a charming all-ages book that follows the story of Greta, a blacksmith apprentice, and the people she meets as she becomes entwined in the enchanting world of tea dragons. After discovering a lost tea dragon in the marketplace, Greta learns about the dying art form of tea dragon care-taking from the kind tea shop owners, Hesekiel and Erik. As she
befriends them and their shy ward, Minette, Greta sees how the craft enriches their lives --and eventually her own.
Don't miss out on meeting Katie this year at Book Expo! She will be available on Thursday, June 1st at the Oni Press booth from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm as well as Friday, June 2nd in the autographing area, Table 11, from 10:00am - 10:30am.
In anticipation for the fall release, Katie reaches out to her readers in a letter to the audience about her upcoming graphic novel as seen below. For a preview of The Tea Dragon Society, visit Katie's website here.
