Hilo Book 7: Gina--The Girl Who Broke the World

(A Graphic Novel)

Part of Hilo

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Hilo’s best friend Gina learns to wield her new magical powers in this continuation of the epic graphic novel series that’s “an action-packed page-turner with heart” (Dav Pilkey, author of Dog Man).

“A story that can be enjoyed by the entire family.”—The New York Times
“Delightful, silly, tender, and most importantly: funny.” —Jeff Smith, bestselling author of the Bone comic series

Hundreds of years ago, magic disappeared from the Earth. That is, until now! Because suddenly, giant magical creatures are appearing all over town, and only Gina can see them! Not to mention, Gina can somehow do magic herself. But as powerful as this magic is, it can also be dangerous if used incorrectly. With help from her best friends D.J. and Hilo, can Gina figure out how to protect the newfound magical Nestor from the evil creatures that are after them? And can she do it without putting the entire planet in jeopardy?

Filled with laugh-out-loud text, colorful illustrations, and the occasional flying Bearacat, this action-packed graphic novel series shows that no matter where you come from, kindness, friendship, and choosing your own path are the greatest superpowers of all.

And for an outstanding gift, don’t forget to check out Hilo: The Epic Boxed Set, which includes the first 10 books in the series!
