About Olive
Olive and The Underworld is a full-color graphic novel mini-series that follows orphan goth girl Olive as she tries to find a home for herself in this world and beyond. While there are mature themes such as death and the afterlife, Olive doesn't contain graphic violence or harsh curse words and so would be suitable for a young adult audience as well as adults.
At its heart, this is a story about the sometimes lonely journey one goes on to find one's place in the world. Who am I? Where do I belong? Who will love me? And learning along the way that things aren't always what they seem.
In Volume 1 we meet Olive, an orphan who lives in a world where she doesn't belong and is always the outcast. She longs for a home but it never works out.
After a bus accident in which she and her classmates perish, they find themselves in Purgatory. While her classmates struggle to accept their fate, Olive finds this new world and its inhabitants, the Gurgels, intriguing.
In Volume 2 (currently being drafted) and beyond, Olive determines that at last, she has found a place she can call home. No one else going through Purgatory understands. The Gurgels insist that Purgatory is a temporary place for humans. However, Olive is determined to stay.
