Of all the gifts under the tree on Christmas Eve, only one captures Marie Stahlbaum's heart: a humble nutcracker.

He's a curious little man with kind eyes, sweet red cheeks, and a friendly appearance.

And as midnight nears, he comes to life, revealing a fairy-tale world of magic and wonder, wicked princesses and fierce battles . . . and an ancient curse that can only be broken with the help of a true friend.

With the evil Mouse King looming and her dream world threatened, Marie will have to find the strength to stand up for her nutcracker-no matter what it takes.

Natalie Andrewson brings E.T.A. Hoffmann's surreal and fantastical story to life like never before in this vibrant graphic novel adaptation of a beloved Christmas classic.

Reviews for The Nutcracker and the Mouse King (GN)

[Andrewson's] distinctive illustration style is well matched to Hoffmann's story, with vivid colors, wavy linework, and exaggerated facial expressions that all reinforce the trippy, unsettling plot.--Kirkus In whimsical full-color art that employs thin lines and bright colors, Andrewson fills each page with measured revelations that mimic the ballet's drama...while centering Marie's bravery and grit. A captivating, otherworldly adaptation for old fans and new.--Publisher's Weekly
