About Heartstopper

The Heartstopper graphic novel series follows two teenage boys, Nick and Charlie, as they meet at a British grammar school, quickly become friends and fall in love. Each volume navigates the ups and downs of first love, friendships, coming out, and mental health, beautifully framed by a warm cast of supporting characters. Described as ‘the queer graphic novel we wished we’d had in high school’ by Gay Times, the series has inspired an outpouring of love from fans across the world, with chart-topping sales success, sell-out nationwide book tours, and the smash-hit live-action Netflix adaptation, starring Kit Connor (Rocketman, His Dark Materials) and newcomer Joe Locke as the beloved Nick and Charlie, produced by See-Saw Films.
