Fan-made theme music inspired by my friend's debut graphic novel "Newsprints". Links to buy the book further down.
Written with an intent towards a younger audience, the story outlines the struggles and the importance of staying true to oneself despite all odds. The main character is a sprightly orphaned girl, whose disguised dream life as a newsboy is obviously conflicted by a society that doesn't view girls in such roles. Amidst a war that not many seem to fully understand, her journey is filled with characters who also don't quite seem as they appear, both good and perhaps bad.
Very beautifully illustrated and depicts its message with more realism than fairy tale swerves. There is also a sequel to this novel scheduled to be released sometime next year. But in the meantime...you should buy her book and at the least enjoy this fast-paced waltzing.
