Below is the publisher's summary for The Flip Side by Jason Walz from the author's website:
This breathtaking, page-turning graphic novel is a supernatural survival story in which a grieving teen finds himself in a haunting alternate reality—the frightening embodiment of his depression.
Theo’s best friend has died, and he can’t pull himself out of his sadness—a sadness that those around him don’t seem to respect or even notice. And then something even more disconcerting happens: His town literally flips upside down and everyone disappears, except for a threatening, shape-shifting monster and a snarky teenage girl who knows her way around this flipped world. Is Theo doomed to spend the rest of his life in this scary state?
Tremendously unique and suspenseful, The Flip Side tackles grief and depression in a fascinating and affecting way.
I am giving The Flip Side by Jason Walz a rating of 4 stars out of 5 stars.
Until my next post, happy reading!!
