Have you ever lost a sock? It's in the Sock-Verse! Get ready to embark on a series of toe-tally awesome adventures that follow a band of misfit socks as they journey through this new whimsical world.

Enter Freddy: a skater sock who gets caught in a dizzying spin-cycle and is magically transported into the vibrant Sock-Verse. Alone for the first time in his life, Freddy strikes up an unlikely friendship with Ruffles, a no-nonsense frilly sock, and Hanks, a warm and fuzzy knee-high. This trio of mismatched misfits embark on an epic quest in search of the gatekeeper of the Sock-Verse, an elusive being that knows the secrets to travel back to the Foot-side—a way back to Freddy's sock-twin Peter!
But the journey won't be easy. Our heroes will come toe-to-toe with a gang of dyed socks who are heel-bent on bringing order and monotonous conformity to the Sock-Verse. As the trio work together to overcome many challenges, they will forge an enduring friendship and discover how wonderfully wacky and diverse the Sock-Verse really is.
SpongeBob meets Adventure Time in this colorful, hilarious, and heartwarming graphic novel series that will make you see your socks in a new light.

      Where do socks go when they get lost in the wash? Open this graphic novel and find out. Freddy may be stinky, but he loves life with his partner, Peter, on their active boy's feet. But when he's whirled through the spin cycle, he finds himself in a laundry-themed land of pairless peers called the "Sock-Verse"--specifically, in the city of "Washingtown." If you think that's a feeble pun, just wait for the "temple of loom," "a feeling in my gusset," "a needle in a hay sock," and "lost soles." While Freddy meets several amiable socks, he just wants to go home and reunite with Peter. His ensuing quest feels as though it's been through the rinse/repeat cycle so many times that it's lost its luster. The shapeless story wanders as Freddy deciphers symbols on an "ancient scroll" (a laundry tag) in order to find the wise gatekeeper, who may be able to help him return "foot-side." Just when the narrative seems stretched to its limit, it meanders on, blending genres like a threadbare mixture of fibers. It's a buddy story about "mismatched" friends, a search for a lost brother, and a satire about mystics vs. skeptics (which will go over readers' heads). The cartoon art exploits every moment of action, adding plenty of onomatopoeia, but it's not enough to save this one. Will have readers hoping the protagonist puts a sock in it.(Graphic fiction. 8-12)
