Acclaimed cartoonist Jenna Ayoub (Adventure Time) presents a heartfelt graphic novel about discovering new friends and new happiness in the place you least expect it.

You thought you'd always be safe there... you were wrong. Carly had thought they'd always live there. The beautiful Cornish cliffside house they'd taken on as a wreck, that Mark had obsessively re-designed and renovated - a project that had made him famous. It was where they'd raised their children, where they'd sat cosily on the sofa watching storms raging over the sea below. It was where they'd promised to keep each other's secrets... Until now. Because Mark has fallen in love. With someone he definitely shouldn't have. Someone who isn't Carly. And suddenly their family home doesn't feel like so much of a safe haven. Carly thinks forever should mean forever though: it's her home and she'll stay there. Even the dark family secrets it contains feel like they belong to her. But someone disagrees. And, as threats start to arrive at her front door, it becomes clear, someone will stop at nothing. Because someone wants to demolish every last thing that makes Carly feel safe. Forever. An utterly unputdownable psychological thriller about what lies are hidden in the most beautiful homes. Perfect for fans of Date Night, Gone Girl and The Woman in the Window.

The Secret Book Sleuth ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I absolutely loved The Forever Home. It's perfect. I really mean that. The twists kept coming, the story kept getting juicier and juicier, the plot unwinding. My god this is fiction done right... I was reading late at night and first thing in the morning to get this one finished. The best book I've read in a long time.' NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

From the creator of the New York Times best-illustrated children's book award winner The Only Child, comes a gorgeous and moving wordless picture book that's perfect for dog lovers. In this heartwarming, wordless picture book that's perfect for dog lovers, a woman visits a park and discovers a pup hiding under a bench--scruffy, scared, and alone. With gentle coaxing, the woman tries to befriend the animal, but the dog is too scared to let her near. Day after day, the woman tries--and day after day, the dog runs away. With perseverance and patience--and help from an enticing tennis ball--a tentative friendship begins. But it's not until a raging storm forces the two together that a joyous and satisfying friendship takes hold. Guojing poignantly explores how trust doesn't always come easily, but how, over time, and with kindness and determination, forever love can grow.
