REVIEWS:
SHACKLETON: Antarctic Odyssey by Nick Bertozzi
Publishers Weekly, May 16, 2014: STARRED REVIEW!
« “An epic true-life adventure, and Bertozzi's storytelling will keep readers riveted as he illustrates the expedition's day-to-day travails…Spotlighting of the crew's unwavering humanity in the face of icy doom that sets this book apart.”
                http://us.macmillan.com/shackleton/NickBertozzi


THIS ONE SUMMER by Mariko Tamaki, illus. by Jillian Tamaki
BCCB, June 2014 issue: 5th STARRED REVIEW!
« “This stellar graphic novel explores this crossing-over period in depth, examining the ways in which yearning forward and back can shape a person, even if she doesn’t perceive it at the time. “

BookRiot, May 12, 2014: READ IT HERE!
“In This One Summer two stellar creators redefine the teen graphic novel. Cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki, the team behind Skim, have collaborated on this gorgeous, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful story about a girl on the cusp of her teen age—a story of renewal and revelation.”

ANDRE THE GIANT by Box Brown
Public Radio International, May 15, 2014: LISTEN HERE!
“While the crazier stories are amazing, they aren’t what draws you into the book. Rather, it is the intimate look into what it feels like being a giant.”

AM NY, May 13, 2014: Author Interview
“I think [Andre the Giant] should be celebrated as the legend that he was.”

Multiversity, May 14, 2014: READ IT HERE!
“An impeccably researched and illustrated graphic novel, and one that establishes what is unique about both its subject and its creator.”

Salon.com, May 14, 2014: READ IT HERE!
“Andre the Giant stands alone among wrestlers, though, and that makes Brown’s book perhaps the most powerful piece of work about the fake sport.”

“The seven and a half foot star would’ve celebrated his birthday today, and despite his passing 21 years ago, his massive legend lives on in the amazing new graphic novel Andre the Giant.”

IGN, May 21, 2014: “The Story of a True Giant Among Men
“Few comic biographies feel so finely detailed. It draws such a clear picture that by the end you'll feel as if you knew this man. You'll understand his pain.”

THE SHADOW HERO by Gene Luen Yang, illus. by Sonny Liew
Bookish, May 20, 2014: YA Summer Preview
“Gene Luen Yang is back with another inventive comic aimed at young readers that combines history, personal mythology, and issues of race.”

Shelf Awareness, May 22, 2014: #BEA14 Buzz Books, Middle Grade & YA
