Description:

What if our world were filled with far stranger things — creatures both friendly and frightening, lurking just beyond the edges of the ordinary? Maithili is an outcast from the human realm, living on the fringes of a magical wilderness, unsure why she doesn't belong. When she enrols at a school for monsters, she discovers the young creatures there are even more afraid of her than she is of them. The only one willing to befriend her is a gentle Minotaur, who quickly becomes her closest companion as the two navigate dangers both everyday and extraordinary. This first instalment of the acclaimed Indian "Outlandish" graphic novel series is funny, heartfelt, and quietly profound, touching on loneliness, alienation, and what it truly means to be different. Brought vividly to life by Rajiv Eipe's intricate, expressive artwork, it's a wholesome, irreverent adventure for young readers.
