In this breathtaking supernatural graphic novel, a grieving teen finds himself in a haunting alternate reality-the frightening embodiment of his depression.
"Imaginative horror meets honesty about emotional pain."-Kirkus Review
"Walz balances heavy ruminations on death and mental illness with a tragicomic tone and earnest intention."-Publishers Weekly
Theo's best friend has died, and he can't pull himself out of his sadness-a sadness that those around him don't seem to respect or even notice. And then something even more disconcerting happens: His town literally flips upside down and everyone disappears, except for a threatening, shape-shifting monster and a snarky teenage girl who knows her way around this flipped world. Is Theo doomed to spend the rest of his life in this scary state?
Tremendously unique and suspenseful, The Flip Side tackles grief and depression in a fascinating and affecting way.
