As I Dream of You: A Graphic Novel

STARRED REVIEWS from Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, SLJ, The Horn Book, and The BCCB!

Franny and Sam are each other's entire world. So what do you do when your world ends? Frozen's Jennifer Lee and Lunar New Year Love Story's LeUyen Pham deliver a tour de force young adult romance with a supernatural twist.

Falling in love is supposed to hurt. That's what Franny and Sam, two cynical teenagers raised on tales of heartbreak and loss, have come to understand. Yet when they fall for each other, they find the reality of love is something else entirely: it's electrifying, all-encompassing, and easy. Theirs is a love that can conquer anything...perhaps even death.

But Franny and Sam's quest to stay together--no matter the cost--soon blurs the line between reality and fantasy, and their shared dream threatens to turn into a nightmare.
