Featuring a highly unlikely friendship and dialogue written completely in Shakespearean iambic pentameter, celebrated local authors and father-daughter pair Jeremy and Hermione Tankard’s Yorick and Bones is a delightful, quirky graphic novel families will enjoy over and over. After being dug up by a hungry dog named Bones, Yorick the skeleton is thrust into a modern world of strange realities and an even odder friendship with a puppy who keeps trying to eat him. Will he ever find a true friend? Will Bones ever find a treat that doesn’t bite back? In this special youth event, the Tankards share the rib-tickling, heartfelt joy of Yorick and Bones, certain to delight and entertain young minds and inspire new writers to flex their creative muscles.
