Looney: Hidenwood Hills Book 1

Looney is a novel in verse, uniquely presented with illustrations and nontraditional forms

LOONEY

In the tiny town of Hidenwood Hills, the Looney family grapples with the aftermath of a horrific accident that shattered lives and reignited a bitter feud in a community haunted by unresolved grief and guilt. When Sam Looney embarks on a quest to uncover the truth, the town rallies for a chaotic "Bigfoot hunt," driven by a desire to confront their fears. Amidst humor and tension, the arrival of an outsider challenges the townspeople to reconsider their identities and legacies. "Looney" is a poignant tale of trauma, family, and the possibility of redemption, showcasing the struggle to forge new connections in the face of a haunted past.

"Full of flavorful dialect and visual personality, LOONEY pops in the mouth like candy but stays in the stomach like a full course meal, with its themes of generational gossip and witch-hunt fears and how the two behaviors stand in the way of both societal and individual healing."

-Jaime Dill
