Description
A trio of misfit single socks journeys through the Sock-Verse, the magical land where socks go when they are lost in the wash. On their quest, our heroes will tumble upside down and inside out, meet a wild cast of whimsical lost soles, and face challenges that will push them to look beyond their cotton blend exteriors and discover the power of mix and match! This is the first in a new graphic novel series about the mystical Sock-Verse.
Have you ever wondered where your lost socks go when they don't come out of the wash? Enter Freddy: a skater sock who gets caught in a dizzying spin-cycle. He is magically transported into the vibrant and colorful Sock-Verse, where all lost soles go. Alone for the first time in his life, Freddy is ready to do anything to reunite with his sock-twin, Peter.
After landing with a splat in Washingtown, Freddy strikes up an unlikely friendship with Ruffles, a no-nonsense pink frilly sock, and Hanks, a fuzzy knee-high who loves the little things in life. When a hooded stranger hints of a mystical gatekeeper in the Sock-Verse who may know the secrets to travel back to the Foot-side-Freddy knows this is his best shot at finding Peter. The trio of misfits jump into action and embark on an epic quest in search of the elusive being!
But the journey ahead won't be easy. Along the way, they will come toe-to-toe with a dangerous gang of dyed socks who are heel-bent on bringing order and monotonous conformity to the Sock-Verse. As the trio work together to overcome obstacles and challenges, they will forge an enduring friendship and discover how wonderfully wacky and diverse the Sock-Verse really is. This colorful, hilarious, and heartwarming graphic novel will make you see all your single socks in a new light.
