Coni Yovaniniz and Rodrigo Vargas' The Do-Over Graphic Novel From HMH

Coni Yovaniniz and Rodrigo Vargas are best known for their travel journal webcomic Walking to Do, but it has now been put taken down. Why? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they have now signed a deal with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing for a new middle-grade graphic novel with a similar name, The Do-Over and a sequel. The graphic novel will see three friends start a hair salon in an Airstream trailer and navigate the ups and downs of starting a business and friendship. Publication of the first book is scheduled for spring 2022.
