Realm of the Blue Mist by Amy Kim Kibuishi

Rema’s denizens are illustrated with varying skin tones. The story ends with a crucial shift that will leave readers eager to continue. The full-color, Japanese manga-flavored art style is fluid and natural, highlighting expressiveness, action, and alien-world details with ease. A lot of highly concentrated background is delivered via a book she finds, while things she sees and experiences imply even more complications-and dangers-beneath the surface. Tabby learns that she’s not Philip’s only secret as she gets a taste of the other planet and its complex mythologies. Tabby finds herself on Rema, a faraway planet the boy, Philip, takes responsibility for her predicament, telling her that he will get her home, but in the meantime, her presence must be kept secret. Following a mysterious light, she sees the boy go through a portal-and then is pulled through it herself by the ghost.

Hoping to see the ghost that her father spoke with before dying, she instead spies a gorgeous, strangely dressed boy with blue hair and eyes who appears Asian. A girl seeking answers is drawn onto another world entirely.įifteen-year-old Tabetha “Tabby” Simon is drawn to Yggdrasil, the anomalous tree with bizarre, immortality-granting properties that her scientist father was researching before his mysterious death years ago.
