The World French rights to The Mythicals series by Miila Westin have been sold to Sarbacane, marking the fourth foreign deal for this amazing graphic novel series.
The Mythicals series by Miila Westin is quickly becoming an international hit: the World French rights to Endless Winter (Mythicals #1) and A Dangerous Dream (Mythicals #2) have been acquired by Sarbacane in a two-book deal.
Miila Westin’s The Mythicals Series combines adventure for middle-grade readers, Balto-Finnish mythology and wow-worthy illustrations. In Endless Winter (Mythicals #1) we follow little Eevi, who is mourning the loss of her grandfather while snow continues to fall, even though it’s June. One day, after receiving a curious necklace from her grandmother, Eevi starts to see forest creatures, like Otso the gnome and the crop elves, whose existence she ignored. They know why winter seems to be endless, and have a plan to save spring that will lead them all the way to the Underworld. It’s their chance to save the spring, but is it also Eevi’s chance to bring Grandpa back?
In A Dangerous Dream Eevi is lonely: after their successful adventure, none of her friends has been in touch, and no one believed her when she explained what happened. Then, one night Otso comes knocking at her window and asking for her help. His sister is sick, and Eevi’s necklace could be the key to saving her, so she goes along. But why does Eevi keep having scary dreams? And are they really just dreams?
Sarbacane is a beautiful French publishing house founded in 2003 and specialised in high-quality, award-winning literature for children and young readers. Their broad list includes an excellent selection of graphic novels and comics, so we couldn’t happier to have them as the French home of The Mythicals.
Warmest congratulations to the author and the publisher!
