Comics will break your heart
(Book)

Miriam's family should be rich. After all, her grandfather was the co-creator of the smash-hit comics series TomorrowMen. But he sold his rights to the series to his co-creator in the 1960s for practically nothing, and now that's what Miriam has: practically nothing. And practically nothing to look forward to, either. How can she afford college when her family can barely keep a roof over their heads? As if she didn't have enough to worry about, Miriam's life gets even more complicated when a cute new boy shows up in town and turns out to be the grandson of the man who stole the future from Miriam's grandfather. Weldon Warrick, with his brilliant grin and his troubled eyes, is the heir to the TomorrowMen fortune. Before long, Miriam and Weldon find themselves at the center of a modern Romeo and Juliet story about family, class, geek royalty, and what it takes to heal the long-festering scars of the past.
