An Illustrated Interview With Glorkian Warrior Delivers a Pizza Cartoonist James Kolchaka
“It's an all ages graphic novel about danger, crazy aliens, gigantic talking heads and more importantly, pizza!”
THIS ONE SUMMER by Jillian and Mariko Tamaki

« “As Rose’s parents’ marriage founders and the taunts of local teens wake her to issues of social class, Rose veers between secret grief and fleeting pleasure in the rituals of summer.”

**Confidential to the trade until April 15th, 2014**
« “Wistful, touching, and perfectly bittersweet.”
-
Publishers Weekly, March 18, 2014: Panel Mania!
“Much-anticipated…A coming-of-age tale about a summer of sorrow, friendship and teenagers on the cusp of maturity.”
Buzzfeed.com, March 17, 2014: "Jillian and Mariko Tamaki's New Graphic Novel Will Make You Wish It's Summer Already"
“Jillian’s lyrical artwork (how does anyone draw like this!?) complements Mariko’s keen ear for the patter of girlhood conversations — the friends rib each other on their gross townie crushes, talk about the ginormous ta-tas they want to grow, and scream over the gory movie rentals they’re barely able to endure.”
IN REAL LIFE by Cory Doctorow and Jen Wang
Felicia Day
“A lovely graphic novel for gamer girls of all ages.”

THE UNDERTAKING OF LILY CHEN by Danica Novgorodoff
VOYA, April 2014 issue
“Everything about this graphic novel is striking. It is not easily forgotten.”
