Adjusting to life without a father is hard enough, but school is boring and her classmates are standoffish -- and even Portia's mom is strangely distant. But things start looking up when Portia mounts a late-night excursion into the woods behind her house and discovers a shy, sweet-natured purple monster. Life with Jellaby is a lot more exciting, but Portia's purple friend has secrets of his own; secrets that may even lead to the mystery of Portia's father's disappearance! 2718947 5 2 2008 Jellaby Vol. 1 total:206|5:68|4:86|3:42|2:9|1:1| 206 829 259 78 4 1 false false Sun Apr 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jan 13 17:02:23 -0800 2009 Sun Apr 05 22:28:15 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 06 08:59:19 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 06 09:10:22 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Fri Jul 18 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 18 15:30:40 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 18 20:41:00 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Jan 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 29 04:36:15 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 05 16:23:00 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Dec 10 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 10 20:23:16 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 21:52:53 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sat Oct 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 04 11:13:52 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 06 11:03:09 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Sep 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 09:32:24 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 11:54:39 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Feb 19 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 13 22:35:26 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 20 07:10:06 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Apr 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun May 04 17:59:35 -0700 2008 Sun May 04 18:10:00 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Jun 20 13:44:16 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 20 13:44:25 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Mar 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 16:51:13 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 16:53:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 14 11:50:20 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 10:01:29 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Apr 23 21:18:14 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 23 22:13:47 -0700 2008 Jellaby, Kean Soo has created a surprisingly sophisticated story, complemented perfectly by his drawings which manage to convey subtle shades of emotion while remaining simple and minimal in style.
