We invite you to the launch of Adrift, a graphic novel set in a coastal town shaped by fishing and logging. When a teenage boy learns of an orca calf stranded in a nearby inlet, he defies his parents and sets out alone to help, only to become lost in the wilderness as the orca faces dangers of its own.
At its heart, Adrift is a story of family, belonging, and our connection to the natural world.
