REVIEWS:

I KILL THE MOCKINGBIRD by Paul Acampora
Gary Schmidt, Newbery Honor winner
“I Kill the Mockingbird is a novel that speaks of mighty things in the midst of an ordinary summer—well, in the midst of a hysterically funny ordinary summer. Its adventure has one goal: to extol the glory of reading. But Acampora, the sly dog, has something else to extol too: the glory of living."
               

THE MAD POTTER by Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jordan
The Wall Street Journal, October 25, 2013:
 “Dazzlingly imaginative…Ohr’s bittersweet story leaps from the nonfiction pages.”

MY MOTHER GOOSE by David McPhail
New York Times Book Review, November 10, 2013 issue: SCAN ATTACHED
“[A] satisfying grab bag…It would be hard to find a pithier, or more palatable, admonishment to look before leaping, for example.”

ANDRE THE GIANT: LIFE AND LEGEND by Box Brown
Mandy Patinkin
"It's clearly evident from every frame of The Princess Bride that Andre was not only one of the world's gentlest human beings, but also the kindest—a giant of a man in every way. I am thrilled to see his story finally told!" 

APHRODITE: GODDESS OF LOVE by George O’Connor
Kirkus, November 15, 2013 issue
“This neatly nuanced take on Aphrodite shows respect for the ultrafeminine heroine.”

BOXERS by Gene Luen Yang
SAINTS by Gene Luen Yang
New York Times, October 13, 2013: SCAN ATTACHED
“Remarkable.”

NPR Books, October 22, 2013: Author Interview (READ IT HERE!)
“This is a work deeply concerned with compassion.”

The New Yorker, November 8, 2013: Author Interview (READ IT HERE!)
“A complete work is not masterful unless both of those elements are masterful. So maybe there’s some sort of attachment there—the idea of words and pictures working together is part of my family history.”

FAIRY TALE COMICS by Various Authors, edited by Chris Duffy
New York Times Book Review, November 10, 2013 issue: SCAN ATTACHED
Fairy Tale Comics is the most inventive and daring of the books, remaking the old tales and infusing them with manic liveliness and antic art.”


THE RETURN OF ZITA THE SPACEGIRL by Ben Hatke
BoingBoing, October 30, 2013: Cover Reveal! (SEE IT HERE)

REVIEWS:

BIG SNOW by Jonathan Bean
Kirkus, October 25, 2013: Feature Review (READ IT HERE!)
“Bean has so expertly captured a child’s joy and wonder over winter. And, whether or not he intended it, it all makes me think of Ezra Jack Keat’s iconic The Snowy Day. If Bean did, indeed, intend for this to be an homage, well…this, my friends, is how you honor a picture book classic without being derivative, something which is hard to pull off. Big Snow is a big delight.”

THE RULE OF THREE by Eric Walters
Publishers Weekly, October 28, 2013
“Walters realistically depicts how a typical neighborhood might react to the collapse of society.”

“Humorous and graceful…[A] poignant account of a boy grappling with a gaping void in his life.”

* An Amazon.com Best Cookbook of 2013.

With The Moosewood Cookbook, Mollie Katzen changed the way a generation cooked and brought vegetarian cuisine into the mainstream. A James Beard inductee, Mollie once again reinvents the vegetarian repertoire, unveiling a collection of beautiful, healthful, and unfussy dishes: her “absolutely most loved.” Her new cuisine is light, sharp, and simple. Whether it’s a salad of kale and angel hair pasta with orange chili oil or a seasonal autumn lasagna, these dishes are celebrations of vegetables. They feature layered dishes that juxtapose colors and textures: orange rice with black beans, or tiny buttermilk corn cakes on a Peruvian potato stew. Burgers and savory pancakes, from eggplant parmesan burgers to zucchini ricotta cloud cakes, make weeknight dinners fresh and exciting. “Optional Enhancements” allow cooks to customize every recipe. Illustrated with photographs and illustrations by the author.

“Even more than Katzen's innovative Moosewood Cookbook, this fresh bunch of recipes illuminates the potential and importance of vegetables.”—Publishers Weekly

Katzen clearly appreciates texture’s role in producing food that’s not just palatable but truly satisfying… there is built-in demand for Katzen’s innovative vegetarian cooking even among staunch carnivores.”—Booklist

I am not a vegetarian, but I can be happy and contented eating from Mollie's THE HEART OF THE PLATEInnovative, healthy, polished, and beautiful, her food will satisfy your soul as well as your belly.”—Jacques Pépin, winner of the James Beard Lifetime Achievement Award

“[Katzen] illuminates a new world of nourishing and delicious plant-based food possibilities that will excite anyone looking for interesting and practical ways to enjoy organic, flavorful, good-for-you food.”—Andrew Weil, M.D., founder/director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine

“I have always been a gushing fan of Mollie Katzen, but even were I not, this book would make a convert out of me, committed carnivore though I am. Her espousal of vegetarian cooking focuses on flavor, taste, balance – the heart, indeed, of all cooking – and should inspire everyone.”
Nigella Lawson, bestselling author of 8 cookbooks, including Nigella Kitchen, and Nigella Bites
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA              

Mollie Katzen has over 6 million books in print and is listed by the New York Times as one of the best-selling cookbook authors of all time. A 2007 inductee into the prestigious James Beard Cookbook Hall of Fame, Mollie has been named by Health Magazine as one of “The Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat.” An award-winning illustrator, designer and speaker, she is best known as the creator of the groundbreaking classics Moosewood Cookbook and The Enchanted Broccoli Forest.

What the Butterfly Knows

Agent: Molly Ker Hawn
Scholastic, Spring 2015. World English.
Manuscript available January 2014.

Lacy's life with her mother Cheyenne was dark and unstable until the day Cheyenne disappeared without a trace. Now, after three years with her father and stepmother, Lacy's no longer an angry, self-destructive loner -- and then Cheyenne comes back.

Forced to leave the home she loves, sixteen-year-old Lacy knows that living with her mother could revive the hard, unhappy girl she used to be. What she doesn't know is that her mother will do anything she can to keep control of Lacy's heart and soul. Between her erratic behavior and her boasts of dabbling in black magic, Cheyenne can't be the mother Lacy needs -- but Lacy feels increasingly powerless to withstand her influence. Just what kind of hold does Cheyenne have on her? And can Lacy break that hold before her life spirals out of control?

​​
 ​​
WHAT THE BUTTERFLY KNOWS is a powerful young adult novel of a young woman's struggle for independence from her mother, with strong elements of magical realism -- think Francesca Lia Block meets GLIMPSE.

Michelle Richmond: Golden State

Michelle Richmond'un 2014 Ocak ayında Bantam books'tan çıkacak GOLDEN STATE'ine Library Journal'dan gelen peşin yorumu aşağıda sunmaktan memnunum. İlgilendiğiniz takdirde bana yazınız.

Library Journal
 11/01/2013
Remembering a quote from Richmond's protagonist is probably the best way to approach her intricate, unusual story. Julie Merrill must focus and "recalibrate her world." And so must the reader of this amazing, turbulent novel woven of disparate threads. The narrative unfolds with Julie, a doctor at the VA hospital in San Francisco. Her marriage has recently dissolved; her erratic younger sister appears, demanding Julie deliver the sister's baby; and a hostage situation develops, involving those close to Julie. While these issues form a rich domestic drama, there is an additional wrinkle: Californians are voting on this particular day to determine whether the state will secede from the United States. Because of the demonstrations and chaos in the streets, Julie must navigate with difficulty her way to the hospital. As she attempts her journey, she recalls her earlier life during which she managed to escape the narrow confines of her youth in rural Mississippi. VERDICT Nearly every feature of this mesmerizing novel is provocative, as Richmond explores the fragmented, hopeful lives of complex characters. This is gripping, multilayered must-read fiction from the best-selling author of The Year of Fog (which was an LJ Best Book of 2007).—Andrea Tarr, Corona P.L., CA

Agent: Gemma Cooper
Random House Children’s Publishing UK. June 2015. UK and Commonwealth.



It’s the Easter Holidays, and Daisy has invited Hazel to her country manor for Daisy’s fourteenth birthday. Lady Hastings has planned a birthday party - but when the guests arrive, it becomes clear that this party isn't really about Daisy at all. Daisy's furious, and Hazel's feeling more and more out of place - even the arrival of Daisy's dashing Uncle Felix, the black sheep of the family, can't cheer the girls up.

But then, at Daisy's birthday tea, one of the guests is taken ill. He dies a few hours later, of arsenic poisoning - and it soon becomes clear that someone in the house must be to blame.

Daisy, of course, can't wait to begin the investigation. Hazel, though, is more cautious. It was Lord Hastings, Daisy's father, who handed the victim the poisoned cup of tea - what if he really is the murderer? Hazel thinks Daisy could be ignoring how serious the situation really is. Can the Detective Society solve their second case - and do they even want to?
