In the big leap from childhood to adulthood, the lessons learned in school aren't always in the classroom. Leap Years is the graphic novel debut of Ian bennett and is the tenth book from Candle Light Press. Leap Years follows Jake's entire high school experience--the lessons, the losses, the loves that will stay with him his whole life.
