Summary of Book 1 -"The White Tower": What would you do if you could fly? What if you could travel through time? To other worlds? When Jane discovers a mysterious pair of metal wings in her grandfather's attic, she doesn't quite realize the pandora's box she's opened until people from the mass conglomerate EMPEC start coming after her. But it's more than the wings they're after, and when her estranged father returns after several years overseas, Jane is relocated to a dark town of box-like houses and children who never speak. Pursued by those looking to get their dangerous invention back, Jane must learn to sort enemies from friends and find the means to destroy the only thing that's ever given her reason to believe.
Jane's S.O.S is a youth fantasy adventure novel for children ages 8-13. Follow the adventures of Jane, Miranda, Trevor, and Mikey, from their terrifying suburban neighborhood and into the world of Nirva where they face the horrors our world is wrecking upon others.
At the heart of Jane's S.O.S is a story about friendship and betrayal, the ties of family and the rift of divorce, the loss of loved ones and the human care that could save a planet.
Proposal: 3-5 book prose series and ongoing graphic novel series. Graphic novels could either be serialized with an emphasis on shorter, more self-contained stories, or be published as stand-alone graphic novels parallel to the stories in the novels. I have provided a mock chapter for the GN to give an idea of how it would run both similar and disimilar to the prose novel. This helps place emphasis on crossing readers over between the two mediums, from graphic novels to prose and vise versa, while offering an alternative of the original story more suited to the GN format and therefore reaching a larger audience and lending further literary credit to graphic novels in general.
