Roofhoppers is a new graphic novel by Andi Porretta that has been bought by Alex Borbolla at book publisher Atheneum. Compared to Booksmart and set against New York City's backdrop, the graphic novel will follow four friends the summer after high school graduation. When the group agrees to play a game of dares from their childhood one last time, what was meant to bring them all together could be the thing that tears them apart. Roofhoppers is to be published in the summer or 2024. And Andi has given Bleeding Cool a little flavour of what may be coming to bookstores in around three years.
