Karen Wasson is a children’s author based in Melbourne. Jake Minton is an illustrator based in Byron Bay. Together they have created Inked, a middle grade graphic novel adventure of a fish, or maybe we should say octopus, out of water. It’s also a story about friendship and finding your own path. Inked is the first graphic novel from Hardie Grant’s new imprint dedicated to graphic novels called Figment and it’s out now.
