JUNIPER is a witty, sci-fi adventure comic book series aimed at children 8-14 years of age, but can be enjoyed by all. Set on the faraway and fantastical planet, Nerth. The story is written by Nathan Tomsic and Georgiana Brown, with illustrations by Lorenzo Colangeli, and published by Scout. Join 15-year-old Juniper, along with her best friend, Toby the robot, as their carefree lives will soon be changed forever. In search of a new home the due find themselves entangled in a quest that leads them to the desert, fighting off a prickly ancient tribe, befriending a colourful cowboy lizard, and breaking into a booby-trapped tower.
