description: Miriam's family should be rich. After all her grandfather was the co-creator of smash-hit comics series The TomorrowMen. But he sold his rights to the series to his co-creator in the 1960s for practically nothing and now that's what Miriam has: practically nothing. And practically nothing to look forward to either-how can she afford college when her family can barely keep a roof above their heads? As if she didn't have enough to worry about Miriam's life gets much more complicated when a cute boy shows up in town . . . and turns out to be the grandson of the man who defrauded Miriam's grandfather and heir to the TomorrowMen fortune.In her endearing debut novel cartoonist Faith Erin Hicks pens a sensitive and funny Romeo and Juliet tale about modern romance geek royalty and what it takes to heal the long-festering scars of the past (Spoiler Alert: love).
