Giant Days Book One

Three unlikely friends take on love, loss, and a crazy party or two during their first year at uni in this hilarious and relatable young adult graphic novel 4-book series.

Susan, Esther, and Daisy started university three weeks ago and are already bonded for life. Brought together by a shared determination to reinvent themselves, they’ll face any obstacle head on as long as they have each other. But with the onslaught of hand-wringing boys, personal experimentation, nu-chauvinism, and, of course, the willful, unwanted intrusion of “academia,” they’ll be lucky if they can make it to graduation alive.

Experience friendships that become family, romance that redefines your very existence, and plenty of midterm meltdowns in John Allison’s beloved long-running series, and with all the hilarity (and hysteria) brought to life by artists Lissa Treiman and Max Sarin. College will never be the same!
