In The Adventures of Team Pom: Squid Happens, we meet three quirky friends, Agnes, Roberta, and Ruby, who bond over their shared love for synchronised swimming.

This lighthearted tale captures the essence of childhood friendship and the struggle to pursue passions while juggling daily distractions.
Determined to rise above their last-place status, the trio forms their own synchronised swimming club, aptly named Team Pom. Their journey takes an unexpected turn when they encounter a lonely giant squid in their local pool. This peculiar discovery leads them to wonder if this new friend could be the secret to their success in the competitive world of synchronised swimming. As they navigate the ups and downs of their training, they also face challenges that test their teamwork and resolve.

With vivid illustrations by award-winning Filipino artist Isabel Roxas, The Adventures of Team Pom: Squid Happens is not just a comic book, but a delightful exploration of what it means to be unique and to work together towards a common goal.
