Will & Whit

Wilhelmina “Will” Huckstep is a creative soul struggling to come to terms with a family tragedy. She crafts whimsical lamps, in part to deal with her fear of the dark. As she wraps up another summer in her mountain town, she longs for unplugged adventures with her fellow creative friends, Autumn, Noel, and Reese. Little does she know that she will get her wish in the form of an arts carnival and a blackout, courtesy of a hurricane named Whitney, which forces Will to face her fear of darkness. Laura Lee Gulledge’s signature visual metaphors will be on full display in this all-new graphic novel, a moving look at shedding light on the dark corners of life. Praise for Page by Paige "This sophomore offering shines as bright as the lamps Will surrounds herself with. Quirky, clever and insightful."--Kirkus, starred Review “Trauma and creativity, strength in community, and truth-telling are all thoughtfully examined, and the jokes are good, too. Gulledge's values are wholesome, and her energy is up-to-the- minute fresh.” --Publisher's Weekly NEWS: This graphic novel is currently being developed as an innovative diy YOUNG ADULT MUSICAL by Laura Lee Gulledge and her amazing musical Artners!
