Overview

Toronto, 1964. A child disappears. A family breaks. A community changes forever. Going Once, Going Twice is a haunting graphic novel that follows the profound impact of a young boy's disappearance-told through the eyes of those who loved him, those who searched for him, and those who carried his memory tirelessly. Inspired by real events involving missing and stolen children, this powerful fictional graphic novel's narrative takes readers on an emotional journey from the towers of Bay Street's financial district to northern Ontario's remote mining camps, from Yorkville Village to Toronto Island, and into Indigenous communities where ancient wisdom offers unexpected paths toward understanding. The story, along with its powerful artwork spanning 252 pages, isn't just a mystery-it's a meditation on loss, hope, and the lifelong search for answers that may never come. It's a tribute to every family who has waited, wondered, and refused to stop believing in the power of hope. A portion of proceeds from this book supports awareness and advocacy for missing and stolen children.

Reviews

""A beautifully crafted tale of love, lust, and license that tastefully braids class repression, mysticism, art, and artifice into a story both monstrous and magnificent."" George Goldsmith, author of Fleeced ... Cut From the Wrong Cloth ""...a delightful walk down memory lane for any Toronto baby boomer like me. I grew up in the heart of Rosedale, surrounded by the pillars of Toronto society, and soon discovered, as a babysitter, that many a mansion had its own dark story."" Kristin Basso, author of Through My Mother's Eyes ""...a great winding story ... this is as close to time travel as we'll get, chronicling an unforgettable time in Toronto's musical history."" Christopher Ward, author of Is This Live? Inside the Wild Early Years of MuchMusic, The Nation's Music Station ""...the repercussions of a transplanted childhood would be a blessing and a curse for the rest of her star-crossed life."" Jonathon Reid, author of The Captain Was a Doctor: The Long War and Uneasy Peace of POW John Reid
