REVIEWS:
ANDRE THE GIANT by Box Brown
Grantland, November 19, 2013: Author Interview (READ IT HERE!)
“It’s hard to even distinguish the truth from the legend with Andre's stories.”
THIS ONE SUMMER by Jillian and Mariko Tamaki
Daniel Handler
“Read this and remember that time. Read this and feel the innocence and the intimate, wrestling out at the beach. Read this and keep it like a secret, or let it run wild like a bonfire night. Read this for the joy and the grit, the tears and the sunburn, what you can’t remember and what you’ll never forget. Read This One Summer and swear you were there.”
Craig Thompson
"Jillian Tamaki might be the best illustrator in the entire biz – her drawings are immersive, sensual and overwhelmingly beautiful. A magic synergy is kindled when paired with the storytelling of her cousin Mariko, who implements the best elements of graphic novels, manga, bande dessinée and modern literary prose to awaken a world of sophisticated naturalism. I loved it."

I loved it."
Stephanie Perkins
"Jillian’s art is simply gorgeous, and the perfect companion to the beautiful—and sometimes painful—truth behind Mariko’s every word."
Deb Caletti
"This One Summer is so vivid and beautifully told, that I saw, heard, and felt every moment. This tender and oh-so-true story of one girl's pivotal summer is a stand-out."
Svetlana Chmakova
“I just want to live forever in the pages that Mariko and Jillian create. Exquisite, subtly layered storytelling of both words and art, and a punch when you least expect it—a rare treasure of a book, like a summer caught and pressed between the pages.”
Lucy Knisely
“I read this in July, and spent the rest of the summer thinking about it. Every bike on a dusty road and gleefully swimming kid made me think about this book, and how it so eloquently and perfectly captures the feeling of summer—slow, lazy and somehow hectic and astounding and full—that we spend every year after the age of 18 trying to remember.”
Hope Larson
“This One Summer is a precisely written, exquisitely illustrated exploration of the moment when childhood tips over into adolescence. For the second time the Tamakis have raised the bar for young adult comics.”
Faith Erin Hicks
“The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”
Julie Halpern
"This One Summer is a beautiful, relatable story of that summer everyone has had, where things happen around you but nothing happens to you."
Vera Brosgol
"A spellbinding meditation on the tiny mysteries of small town life and the giant mysteries of adulthood, This One Summer is poetry in comics."
