Children caught in the path of war

This graphic novel centers on two young people placed on opposite sides of an invasion: Kat’s family is divided and her father taken captive, while Adam is conscripted into the invading army. Their paths cross around the possibility of securing Kat’s father’s freedom. The description frames the conflict as deliberately non-specific, using the characters’ circumstances to examine how war disrupts children’s lives and leaves them vulnerable to forces beyond their control.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers interested in action-and-adventure graphic novels.
  • Readers seeking a story about children’s experiences of conflict and displacement.
  • Those interested in a war narrative that is not tied to one specific historical conflict.

Book overview

A powerfully moving graphic novel that explores the affects of war on children from New York Times bestselling author Eoin Colfer and the team behind the Artemis Fowl graphic novels.

When her city is invaded, Kat suddenly finds her life ripped apart, her family divided and her father taken captive. Adam has been forcibly conscripted into the invading army. When their worlds collide can they trust each other long enough to win freedom for Kat's father?

WAR is not a story about any one specific war. It is a story about the effects of each and every war on the most vulnerable group of people in the world - children.
