## Description

**“A KING OF WITCHES TO BE CROWNED. A PRINCE TO FIND. A KINGDOM- AND A FAMILY- TO SAVE.**

Twins Dani and Dorian Wytte have been through everything together since leaving home. But with their parents out for blood, their brother Damien crowned King of Witches, and normal people suspicious of magic, they aren’t sure whose side they’re on. . . or if anyone’s on their side.

Searching for the lost Prince William with their group of friends, Dani and Dorian travel across deserts and into new kingdoms, where they grapple with their parent’s cruel legacy, the power within themselves, and the sadness of never feeling safe. When they meet their parents in battle and one Wytte is lost forever, they must accept that things are changing- and not everyone is who they seem.

## Differences between Original WEBTOON release

While the printed version of Hooky is largely the same as the digital version, there are a few differences between the two. A majority of these changes are altered dialogue, fixing typos and grammar errors, reformatting of panels, and cutting some content.

As the graphic novel is being published under HarperCollins' Clarion Books label, it is being marketed towards a younger demographic than the original WEBTOON. Therefore, much of the violence and suggestive themes are toned down, and cursing is either censored or removed all together.

Some differences of note between the original WEBTOON release and the print version include:

* The first chapter in volume two is a continuation of Chapter 33 from the first volume. It begins with episode 73 in the aftermath of the ball, and then time skips to three months later, where episode 72 begins.
* While the Huntsman is featured in this volume, the character dynamic between him and the twins has been changed due to him being cut in the first volume. In the original episode the twins and the Huntsman have already met and are on friendly terms and Dorian distrusts him due to knowing his association with Aunt Hilde, and at the end of episode 85 he invites the group to his and Snow White’s wedding. In the print version, they meet for the first time in Chapter 36, and any mention of them knowing each other or the wedding is cut.
* Episode 81 was cut entirely, likely due to it deviating from the main story.
* Episodes 86 and 87 were largely cut and reworked for the print volume. This was likely due to the more mature themes in the original comic.
	+ In the original comic, the group were originally camping in the woods when they run into Alice and Romas as the two were summoning spirits while naked. The two convince Dorian to enroll in their academy, and the group drives them to the nearby village. In the book, the group hears about the academy and goes there directly, there they meet Alice and Romas.
