REVIEWS:
ABOVE THE DREAMLESS DEAD edited by Chris Duffy
Publishers Weekly, July 18, 2014 issue: STARRED REVIEW!
« “The real strength of the anthology comes both from the poems selected for it and the variety of visual approaches—ranging from the cartoonish to the phantasmagoric— that prevents it from relying simply on the visual carnage of the ‘war to end all wars.’”
THE SHADOW HERO by Gene Luen Yang, illus. by Sonny Liew
Shelf Awareness, July 18, 2014: STARRED REVIEW!
« “Through this very human hero and his green turtle alter ego, Yang and Liew debate cowardice versus bravery, vulnerability versus strength, disdain versus compassion.”
NPR’s Morning Edition, July 15, 2014: LISTEN!
“Yang's new graphic novel firmly establishes the Green Turtle as Asian-American, unmasking the superhero as a teenager named Hank Chu, the American-born son of Chinese immigrants living in the Chinatown of a fictional city on California's coast in the 1930s.”
Criminal Element, July 10, 2014: READ IT!
“The universal theme of adjusting from adolescence to adulthood with its attendant responsibilities (dealt with most famously in comic books by the teams behind the Spiderman series) is depicted through a unique and entirely worthwhile perspective here…An excellent graphic novel on many fronts, and one I can’t recommend enough.”
Vox, July 9, 2014: AUTHOR INTERVIEW!
“In a lot of ways, I'm hoping TSH comes across sort of like an homage to this genre that I've loved since I was kid. I think narratively it's structured very much like a standard superhero origins story, like Spiderman or Batman.”
THE STRATFORD ZOO MIDNIGHT REVUE PRESENTS MACBETH by Ian Lendler, illus. by Zack Giallongo
Kirkus, August 15, 2014 issue: STARRED REVIEW!
« “This innovative and intelligent reimagining hits all the notes of the Bard's famous play yet manages to put enough of a spin on it to keep it fresh and novel…Encore, please!”
IN REAL LIFE by Cory Doctorow, illus. by Jen Wang
Kirkus, September 1, 2014 issue
“Both wholly satisfying as a work of fiction and serious food for thought about the real-life ramifications of playing in an intangible world.”
Shelf Awareness, July 22, 2014
“Doctorow's story is mostly about the very real economics that are at play in the virtual worlds of MMORPGs and how they affect people in different parts of the world, in different strata of class. Wang's cute, cartoony art is a perfect counterpoint to this weighty subject matter.”
JULIA’S HOUSE FOR LOST CREATURES by Ben Hatke
Kirkus, August 1, 2014 issue
“Hatke steps from graphic novels to the picture-book format with aplomb, blending tropes from both worlds for a sweetly weird domestic adventure. Readers will want to move right in.”
THE RISE OF AURORA WEST by Paul Pope, JT Petty, and David Rubin
Previews World, July 10, 2014: SNEAK PEEK!
“The extraordinary world introduced in Paul Pope's Battling Boy is rife with monsters and short on heroes, and in this action-driven extension of the Battling Boy universe, we see it through a new pair of eyes: Aurora West, daughter of Arcopolis's last great hero, Haggard West.”
SHACKLETON: Antarctic Odyssey by Nick Bertozzi
Shelf Awareness, July 15, 2014
“A brilliant graphic-novel biography of Ernest Shackleton and his third voyage to the Antarctic.”
School Library Journal, August 2014 issue
“Like the famous photographs of Shackleton’s expedition, Bertozzi’s black-and-white artwork captures both the bleakness and the majesty of the surrounding snow and ice…An excellent choice for readers who enjoy nonfiction, graphic novels, explorers, true adventure, and impossible dreams.”
THIS ONE SUMMER by Mariko Tamaki, illus. by Jillian Tamaki
Bustle, June 2014: “2014’s Best YA Books”
“not only a stunningly illustrated novel, but one that speaks so honestly and plainly about the process (both wonderful and awful) of growing up that readers will no doubt feel twinges of nostalgia each page.”
THE WRENCHIES by Farel Dalrymple
Publishers Weekly, July 11, 2014 issue
“With its plot in constant flux and scant exposition, it’s easy to get lost in the violent fever dream Dalrymple has concocted. But far from being a detraction, the book’s untethered structure plays into its overall weirdness and elusive premise.”
School Library Journal, August 2014 issue
“Dalrymple’s art vibrates with violent action, awash in colors alternately lush and lurid. His masterfully detailed panels reward careful study, from devilish grotesqueries to intricate architectural cutaways.”

School Library Journal, August 2014 issue

IF YOU WERE A DOG by Jamie A. Swenson, illus. by Chris Raschka
Kirkus, August 1, 2014 issue

Kirkus, August 1, 2014 issue

School Library Journal, August 2014 issue
“Just a dash of spookiness.”

Booklist, June 12, 2014

HOW IT WENT DOWN by Kekla Magoon
Kirkus, September 1, 2014 issue: STARRED REVIEW!
« “As each character reflects on Tariq, a complex young man is revealed, one who used his considerable charm to walk the tightrope of life in his neighborhood. Magoon skillfully tells the story in multiple, sometimes conflicting, voices.”
School Library Journal, August 2014 issue
“With a great hook and relatable characters, this will be popular for fans of realistic fiction.”
Rita Williams-Garcia
“In How it Went Down, Kekla Magoon deftly renders us witnesses to an all too common news flash in uncommon, unflinching prose. Gripping to the end.”
Helen Frost
“Thoughtful and compassionate, beautifully composed, this book takes us inside what we think we know and shows us more."
AND AWAY WE GO! By Migy
School Library Journal, August 2014 issue
“Stylish, jazzy, and unique.”
Kirkus, August 15, 2014 issue
“An urbane, adventuresome fox provides an evening's entertainment for an eclectic company in this nighttime escapade aloft. When his hot air balloon is delivered, Mr. Fox wastes no time.”
THE BODY IN THE WOODS by April Henry
Booklist, June 20, 2014
“The fast-paced plot, mirroring familiar TV crime procedurals, makes this a good choice for reluctant readers, especially as it’s possible to follow the clues and identify the killer.”
EDDA by Adam Auerbach
Booklist, July 9, 2014
“Auerbach hilariously depicts often-grumpy Edda, always wearing armor and a winged helmet among her T-shirt-clad classmates, in spare and cheerful line drawings.”
LITTLE BOO by Stephen Wunderli, illus. by Tim Zeltner
Kirkus, August 1, 2014 issue
“A fresh and wonderfully tame autumn tale.”
School Library Journal, August 2014 issue
“Zeltner has layered paint and color to effectively convey changing seasons and shows a natural community that teems with anthropomorphic snowflakes, garden boots, and grasshoppers.”
TALES OF BUNJITSU BUNNY by John Himmelman
Kirkus, August 1, 2014 issue
“A series of Zen lessons touched with gentle humor.”
