Vera’s mother is the Weather Clock; she presides over the satellite town of Head Acre, which hovers a few hundred feet above Bear Park. Her father is a can opener; he spends most of his time
in Vera’s pocket. The Acre is a cruel and oppressive place, shaped by the dictatorship of Vera’s omnipotent, megalomaniac mother: the Prime Minister of Weather and Chance. No wonder Vera
fled.
Stranded in the dark wood beyond Bear Park’s boundary fence, the teenage Vera Pike again finds herself looking for an escape route. At the police station, her friend Scarper Lee is in a pickle jar, alive for now, but only until tomorrow: his deathday. Vera hatches a plan. But with the help of Castro Smith, can she save Scarper from his certain fate?The Can Opener’s Daughter is a dark and inventive coming-of-age tale, both a companion piece to Davis’s Eisner-nominatedThe Motherless Oven and an impressive standalone graphic novel.
