Aurora and the Orc [Trondheim, Lewis]

Author: Lewis Trondheim

From comics legend Lewis Trondheim comes a quirky and hilarious graphic novel full of magic and mayhem!

There's something strange about the new kid in class. Maybe it's because he's from a faraway country where they practice different customs. Or maybe it's because his skin is green, he carries a club, and his favorite pastime is slaying elves.

Her teacher and classmates are unfazed, but to Aurora, it's obvious--the new kid is an orc! And as his unofficial chaperone, Aurora must teach him about human life and curb his outrageously orc-like behavior. But as she travels with him and sees more of his world, it becomes clear she also has much to learn, not just about him but her own family.
