Harper Fire secures six languages for Salomey Doku's 'enchanting' graphic novel

The synopsis for Brielle and Bear reads: "First-year student Brielle, a daydreamy book lover, knows everything there is to know about fairy tales. Returning to the city of Rosebridge four years after moving away, she attends Once Upon a Time University, with the intention of living her fairy-tale dream. And when she meets Bear, shy vice-captain of the Princes rugby team, at the bookshop where she works, Brielle’s dream is off to a good start. Determined to forget the past, and with an unexpected new relationship blossoming, Brielle feels she’s finally living the dream. That is, until she discovers that she’s not the only one hiding something."

Juliette Clark, rights director at HarperCollins Children’s Books and Farshore, said: "Brielle and Bear is an utterly enchanting and unique graphic novel with sumptuous artwork and a gorgeous romance at its heart. It’s an absolute joy to be sharing this gorgeous book with our international partners across the globe – Salomey is a star in the making."
