The first book collection of Heart of the City comics by the strip’s new creator, Steenz, who packs the daily comic strip with outstanding art, a more diverse cast of characters, and engaging, positive storylines about friendship, drama, ghost stories, pop culture, and real-world issues.
Heart is a girl with big dreams living in Philadelphia with her single mom. Heart loves theatre, but like many middle schoolers, she runs into plenty of drama off-stage, too. Luckily she has her two best friends, Dean and Kat, to help. School plays, cliques, and rumours may all take centre stage – with real-world family concerns and social issues playing bigger and bigger roles – but together, they can navigate any challenge.
In her first year writing and illustrating the longstanding syndicated comic Heart of the City, award-winning writer/illustrator Steenz creates a diverse, positive, and welcoming tone for the strip that will pique the interest of middle grade readers and provide parents and teachers with talking points, laughs, and inspiration to dig deeper into their own senses of humour, creativity, and imagination.
