WINK Publishing is a small Wisconsin-based book publisher looking to appeal specifically to teens and young adults by releasing a book series of classic literature with a modern twist. The “Sudden Stranger” book series takes a deeper look at three childhood favorites that followed a similar theme: each stories protagonists’ magnificent, but sudden and troubling, journey back home from a mysterious and strange land. The focus becomes less about the protagonist themselves and more about the characters they encounter on their journey to find their way home. Though these fictional tales have the appearance of being light-hearted children’s stories, their historical context and morals are dark and deep. The Sudden Stranger series creates an air of mystery, by placing hand-illustrated silhouettes of each cherished character against bright and colorful backgrounds to reference all the wonders and complications that are revealed after the smoke has cleared and the journey begins.
