Set in Portland, OR, this charming graphic novel by husband-and-wife team Paul Tobin & Colleen Coover is a blend of twentysomething soap opera and psychological detective story.
There are many verifiable facts concerning 26-year-old Annah Billips. She likes sushi and mountains and piglets, but hates paper cuts and beer breath. She flirts with girls and boys, and loves to travel. She might have a missing sister¬Â¦ or she might be totally insane. Did Annah invent an imaginary sister named Ginger during her parents' traumatic divorce? Or did her mad scientist father extract part of her brain and transform it into a living twin?
In this whimsical, thought-provoking graphic novel, a host of narrators (including boyfriends, girlfriends, neighbors, bystanders, magicians, and passing animals) try their best to unlock the mystery of Annah and the Gingerbread Girl.
