(W) Oskar Kallner (A) Karl Johnsson
ISBN: 9781545811337
Diamond Code: OCT231912 Lunar Code: 1023PZ996
A new middle grade series of epic space adventure and intrigue with full-color art and comic pages!
When Elias and Alice’s mother disappears in a nearby forest, the siblings quickly embark on a journey to find her. But nothing can prepare them for what lies ahead–not when they come face-to-face with a crew of aliens who whisk them away to a spaceship where they meet terrifying creatures, dangerous attackers, and a secret that changes all Alice and Elias have ever known about their family.
Amid the mayhem, will Elias and Alice be able to traverse through the stars and find their mother?
Creators Oskar Källner and Karl Johnsson had this to say in honor of the release:

Writer: Oskar Källner

Artist: Karl Johnsson
“Children of the Phoenix is a passion project, a love letter to the stories we grew up with. We both come from a childhood marinated in comics, science fiction books, video games and anime films. Now we set out to make this series as fun and as engaging as possible, combining the imaginary power of comics with the immersing depths of novels. We have seen in the reception of these books what we hoped for, that they are indeed books that both parents and children can gather around and appreciate, that the series has become a gateway to the entire science fiction genre. We love this because we cherish that SF sense of wonder, and want to share that feeling and this abounding universe that we have created with readers everywhere. So please join us on this grand adventure as Alice and Elias of Earth are thrown out into a fallen galaxy, making new friends among strange aliens, fighting unforgiving malevolent forces and uncovering earth shattering secrets to who they truly are, and their place among the stars.”
– OSKAR KÄLLNER & KARL JOHNSSON
