An Author Interview with Lisa Manuzak Wiley
A bewitching new graphic novel series is arriving this fall!
Author-illustrator Lisa Manuzak Wiley, who grew up in Hawaii, blends cozy fantasy, sisterhood, and tropical charm in a heartfelt homage to her roots: The Witches of Pepperwood Bay Vol. 1. Lisa shared the inspiration behind the story’s magical world, the sisterly dynamics at its core, and how her time drawing for numerous children’s books and working on popular video games like Skylanders and Destiny 2 helped shape this debut graphic novel.
Perfect for fans of The Tea Dragon Society, Witches of Brooklyn, and Steven Universe, readers ages 7-12 can step into a sun-soaked coastal world where three witch sisters oversee an enchanted lighthouse. Whether solving magical teapot mysteries or navigating family squabbles, protagonists Juniper, Lily, and Clover remind us that even the smallest act of kindness can ripple through a community like a spell.
What inspired you to create The Witches of Pepperwood Bay?
It all began as a webcomic back in 2015 while I was working in video games and illustrating children’s books. I wanted to create something that felt comforting and magical – something cozy. Growing up in Hawaii with my sisters gave me a lot of inspiration: the setting, the warmth of the relationships, and the idea that magic can be part of everyday life. The lighthouse was always there in my imagination, and the sisters – Juniper, Lily, and Clover – are very loosely based on me and my siblings.
Lisa Manuzak Wiley
Section
What do you want young readers to take away from the book?
Cozy, curious, and cared for. I want kids to feel like they’ve stepped into a safe, magical space filled with warmth and just enough mystery to keep the pages turning. It’s a world of spells and sea breezes, where even the teapots have secrets.
The book touches on family dynamics and community. Why was that important to you?
Family, especially chosen and sibling relationships, is something I treasure deeply. Growing up, my sisters and I were all very different – but we had to learn how to respect each other’s personalities. That became a central theme: how our differences can be strengths, and how trust and empathy build lasting bonds. I also wanted the community around them to reflect that warmth, with a cast of characters who support each other even in the face of magical mishaps.
What’s your favorite magical detail or creature in the story?
I have a soft spot for the magical teapot that kicks off the mystery –Ms. Fiddleneck’s prized possession. But I also loved designing the tiny seaside dragons and enchanted seaweed. There’s a sense of whimsy I wanted to keep throughout, where you’re never sure if the next page might introduce a new magical friend.
What advice do you have for young readers who love storytelling or making art?
Keep exploring and making what feels fun and true to you! Even small doodles or silly stories can become something bigger over time. Witches of Pepperwood Bay started as a small passion project – and I never imagined it would become a published book. So stay curious, stay kind, and don’t be afraid to let your imagination get a little weird!

An Author Interview with Adam Wallenta and Makana Wallenta
Get ready to rock the galaxy with the first volume of Punk Taco – a wildly imaginative, musicfueled sci-fi adventure from father-son duo Adam and Makana Wallenta. Created when Makana was just five years old, this award-winning graphic novel now debuts from Papercutz to entertain and inspire a whole new generation.
Punk Taco, a kindhearted, guitar-shredding taco-headed hero, leads his band of interstellar misfits in a mission to spread empathy and justice across the stars. With bonus art by acclaimed creators like Chuck D., Art Baltazar, and John Patrick Green, this all-ages romp is equal parts hilarious and heartfelt. For fans of Dog Man, Hilda, and Guardians of the Galaxy –Punk Taco is one taco you’ll never forget!
In this exclusive interview, Adam, an author, illustrator, editor, and educator with nearly 30 years in comics, and his son, 13-year-old Makana, share the origins of their family-made comic, their love of libraries and punk rock, and what it’s like blending action, humor, and heart to create a meaningful all-ages comic.
What inspired you to create Punk Taco?
Makana: What inspired me was hanging out with my dad, and him telling me this funny name he had rattling around in his head. It was a lot of fun to draw with him and create characters.
Adam: Like Makana said, I had the name “Punk Taco” rattling around in my head for years. I thought it was funny and catchy but I didn’t know what I would do with it.
Adam Wallenta and Makena Wallenta
Section
Was it the name of a band, a restaurant, a cartoon? It wasn’t until I mentioned it to Makana while we were hanging out together, playing with LEGO and action figures that a real concept started to form.
When I mentioned it to him, he started to laugh and immediately came up with names for characters and all kinds of story ideas. So many, in fact, that most didn’t even make it into the first book. Once Makana started drawing the characters and giving them life, I knew I wanted to devote my time to helping him tell a story and create a book that he could be proud of. Kids are only young once, and it goes by quickly, so I wanted to capture that time with him and create something together.
What do you hope young readers take away from Punk Taco?
Makana: I hope they take away that no matter what age you are, you can accomplish anything, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Adam: I want readers to be inspired to do the right thing regardless of the odds. I hope Punk Taco can be a hero to kids and inspire them to stand up to bullies and help those in need. In regard to our own personal journey as creators, I agree with Makana, I hope we can inspire both young and old to tell their stories. Whenever I visit schools or libraries, I always tell the audience of young people (as well as the adults) that they are never too young or too old to follow their dreams.
What’s it like working on a book as a father and son team?
Makana: Working on a book together is really fun because we get to constantly hang out together and discuss different ideas and designs for each story. It’s a lot of work but a lot of fun.
Adam: When we first started creating Punk Taco stories together, it was a nonstop whirlwind of silly ideas that made us laugh, and it was the most fun I ever had. Nothing was too weird or crazy. It’s been the highlight of
my career working with my son, watching him grow as an artist, writer, and person and traveling with him to conventions, panels, and award shows, talking to fans, creating original commissioned artwork, and seeing the pride he takes in his work. I love it when he comes up with new ideas for stories and characters, and I cherish any time we get to spend together.
Sometimes it’s challenging to make time to focus on creating these days since school and his education are the priority, and like any young adult, he has other interests such as sports and music. But when our deadlines get tight and we must buckle down and create, it’s always an amazing time, and I wouldn’t want to ever do it alone. And now that his younger brother contributes and helps as well, it’s twice as fun.
What sets Punk Taco apart from other kids’ comics?
Makana: I think what sets it apart is the positive message and the fact that you can see the collaboration between two different generations of creators.
Adam: It’s created by a kid, for kids (young and old!) – so it feels different. It’s wacky, sincere, full of crazy characters, music, action, cool art, amazing colors, and a positive message.
We also use a lot of words! We want kids to engage, to learn new vocabulary, and to enjoy reading as much as we do. I grew up reading very verbose comics by writers like Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, and Chris Claremont, and when I didn’t know a word, I took it as a challenge to learn it. Makana was raised on those same books and philosophy, so he grew to become a strong reader at an early age.
I was worried that some kids may feel intimidated, but I found that they really love it no matter how young they are. It’s a great book for adults to read to kids who can’t read, and as kids learn to read themselves,
Adam Wallenta and Makena Wallenta
Section
they will grow with the book. They love the characters, art, and colors so they reread it over and over, meanwhile as their reading skills improve, they will enjoy the story on different levels. Our goal was to create a truly “all-ages” book, and when I look at the variety of fans we have met at conventions and signings, I think we accomplished that. It’s not a book kids will want to discard because they grew out of it. I believe it’s the kind of book readers cherish that they will want to keep and pass down.
Do you have a favorite moment or character in the book?
Makana: I love Punk Taco, but I think King Boogar is a really funny name. My favorite moment would probably be when you first see King Boogar and his massive army of countless different species on the very colorful splash page in volume 1.
Adam: I’m partial to Punk Taco since he is the lead, and I love the scene when he is first abducted by the squirrel aliens and he realizes that they kidnapped him for his secret recipe. I also enjoy the scene when we first see Philip chasing Punk Taco.
Punk Taco (Volume 1)
Punk Taco is a loveable space taco who rocks out across the universe with his band, spreading peace and love through music. Along the way, they seem to always get into a bit of trouble while helping those in need and doing the right thing against impossible odds.
In this brand-new collection of stories, Punk Taco and the band will do battle against the evil King Boogar to help reunite their new friend, Philip, with his family, while discovering the mysterious, magical powers of the Evocaja. Two bonus stories are included in which Punk Taco experiences big feelings and shares his love for art with his friend, Bash. For fans of InvestiGators and Hilda.

Canine Connection: How Dogs and Humans Evolved Together
Christopher Gudgeon • Orca Book Publishers • UE
Dogs understand humans better than chimpanzees, our closest animal relatives. Puppies are born with an ability to understand and communicate with us. It’s not a coincidence: it’s the result of tens of thousands of years of co-evolution and a unique cross-species friendship that changed life on this planet. Part of the nonfiction Orca Wild series for middle grade readers and illustrated with color photographs throughout, this book invites young readers to explore the relationship between dogs and humans and how their bond has evolved throughout history.
