Young Frank, Architect by Frank Viva6/2/2023 ![]() ![]() "I didn't fight it like Eliot, to be honest with you," says Viva, sitting in his home in Toronto on a recent afternoon, white wine in hand. Sea Change tells the story of Eliot Dionisi, a shy 12-year-old boy whose parents exile him for the summer to Point Aconi, where he's to stay with his great-uncle, Earl, "a pirate of a man" complete with a gold tooth and faded tattoos, and where his friends are convinced he'll be eaten by a shark or a Yeti. The question, then, looking at the book's cover, isn't whether the boy will jump. It is unlike anything else in bookstores and unlike anything Viva has done before. ![]() Sea Change is a part middle-grade novel, part picture book – a true graphic novel. His most personal work to date, Sea Change represents an equally perilous leap for Viva. Sea Change, shows a boy standing at the edge of a pier, glancing down apprehensively at the waves breaking below. ![]()
