A Wrinkle in Time meets Brave New World in this thought-provoking debut graphic novel about one girl's quest to save her family's livelihood

and maybe existence itself.

Chloe and her older sister make souls by hand in an empty old house in the countryside. When their supply of breth

the raw material needed to make souls

runs dry, the evil McCorp tries to force them to franchise and make synthetic souls instead. Chloe sets out to the big city in hopes of finding a new source. And maybe a way to modernize their business that Lacey is so determined to keep in the past.

On a journey to find a real breth crop, untouched by MCorp's greedy hands, Chloe uncovers long-buried family secrets

and starts to question whom to trust and what reality even is.

A beautifully rendered debut, Soul Machine is at once a metaphysical science-fiction story and a nuanced exploration of big ideas: spirituality, family, consciousness, and connection, but also unscrupulous consumption, megacorporations, and how egomaniac entrepreneurs impact our lives.

Reviews for Soul Machine

“Casts a critical philosophical eye on consumption and connection with visual panache.”  —Kirkus Reviews, 05/15/25 “A compelling graphic novel about a girl’s quest to save her family and the world.” —Foreword Reviews, 05/25 “Strong lines and mostly monochromatic, shifting color palettes create solidity amid the complexity of the narrative; the sisters’ world is pleasantly both geometric and whimsical.”  —Booklist, 05/01/25 “A layered, lyrical, and darkly funny tale that balances emotional vulnerability with philosophical inquiry.” — Publishers Weekly, 05/22/25 “Visually arresting.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, 06/25 “An intriguing book with multiple themes for readers to explore along Chloe’s quest, this is an excellent choice for discussion groups and equally appealing for general graphic novel fans.” — School Library Journal, 06/25
