Lost at Sea is a comedy/romance graphic novel by Bryan Lee O'Malley. First published in 2003 by Oni Press, it tells the coming-of-age story of shy 18-year-old Raleigh who thinks she has no soul — a cat stole it from her — and who is now on a road trip across America with some kids from her school she barely knows.

[edit] Plot summary
Raleigh is on a road trip from visiting her boyfriend (and her dad) in California back home to Vancouver with Stephanie, Dave and Ian, some kids from her high school she hardly knows and met in California by accident after she missed her train. During the trip she has a lot of time to think about her boyfriend Stillman, whom she had met on the internet, and her belief that she has no friends because she has no soul, for her mother sold it to the devil (who gave it to a cat) when she was fourteen, in the summer her parents got divorced and her best friend moved away to Ottawa.
