The Horrible Bag Series
Eleven-year-old Zenith Maelstrom didn’t mean to destroy his family’s kitchen with his science experiment, but now he’s grounded and stuck at home under the watchful eye of his protective older sister, Apogee. Anxious for any distraction, he eagerly investigates a strange noise on the front porch and discovers a mysterious patchwork bag delivered from places and persons unknown.
Zenith Maelstrom knows he’s forgetting something, but he can’t quite remember what. He wakes up to notes in his handwriting with messages like, “Prepare for battle!” But what battle? And his sister Apogee seems to grow angrier with him by the day. It’s not until he finds Apogee sneaking back into the horrible bag hidden away in their basement that all the dreadful details about GrahBhag resurface.
Zenith Maelstrom is running out of time. It’s only been a month on Earth since he was ejected from the horrible bag, but in GrahBhag, years are passing . His sister, Apogee, and best friend Kevin are still trapped there, and with the horrible bag locked away, Zenith has no way to return. That is, until a new portal opens up and provides him passage back to GrahBhag.
The Art of Gravity Falls
For years, the true origins of Gravity Falls have been hidden under lock and key. Now, for the first time ever, supervising producer Rob Renzetti and series creator Alex Hirsch crack open the vault to reveal the definitive visual history of Gravity Falls.
About Rob!
Rob Renzetti is an artist, author, horror movie fan, and board game buff. From a young age, Rob was interested in cartoons, at first watching his mom copy characters from his coloring books and the comic pages in the Chicago Tribune, and then learning to draw them for himself. Before long, Rob decided he wanted to draw cartoons for a living.
And drawn them he has! And written scripts for the cartoon characters’ wild adventures. And selected music and sound effects for their films. There’s lots to do to make animated cartoons, and Rob has done almost all of it. But nothing is more fun for Rob than the writing.
So, Rob decided to write books as well as cartoons. He’s written books that include some of his favorite characters like Scrooge McDuck and Mabel Pines. But he’s also written brand new books with all new, original, never-existed-before characters. And he has this spiffy website so that you can find out all about the fun stuff he’s done.
