MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD
Ryan Andrews Alana Harrison Drew Callander
You wake up in the fictional land of Astorya, where stories from our world come to life. Armed with your trusty pencil, you have the power to create. Everything you write in the book becomes part of the story! To prove that the pencil is mightier than the sword, you must write, draw, and puzzle your way through this hilarious adventure.
A humorous and fantastical interactive middle-grade novel that pulls you, the reader, into the action. Yes, YOU!
You wake up in the fictional land of Astorya, where stories from our world come to life. You're a real human being (we assume), and in this fictional world, that makes you a superhero. Armed with your trusty pencil you have the power to create: what you write, draw or scribble in the book becomes part of the story!
Only you can rescue Prince S. from the evil Queen Rulette. Aided by the Couriers--a French stoat with dangerous dance moves, a giant dung beetle, a fire ninja, a Pegasus-centaur-cowgirl and a super-intelligent femalien chameleon--you must write, draw, and puzzle your way through a hilarious adventure that is unique to every reader! And most importantly, you must prove that the pencil is mightier than the sword.
Penguin Workshop will publish July 10, 2018. We currently have two books signed up, this is the first in a series of second-person, illustrated paper-over-board novels.

A friendly Kodama or two have been known to take up residence in the giant acorn tree that shades the house. Ryan often works at his drawing desk in the early-morning hours, to the sound of rummaging wild boar and badgers, who come from the surrounding forest seeking out shiitake mushrooms and fallen chestnuts.
