About This Book

What if you discovered you were swapped at birth with someone from a magical world? Imagine hiding your fairy powers while living a normal life, only to find out your twin is living an equally strange life in a place full of magic and danger. Now, when a wicked sorceress takes control, both worlds need you— but which world will you choose?

Quick Assessment

Estranged is a beautifully illustrated middle-grade fantasy graphic novel about two brothers swapped at birth—one living secretly among humans with magical abilities, the other navigating a magical realm where humans are rare. The story explores themes of identity, family, and bravery as the brothers unite to face a dark sorceress threatening both their worlds. Suitable for ages 9-12, it contains mild fantasy violence and magical peril but is generally appropriate for middle-grade readers.
