REVIEWS:

THE GLORKIAN WARRIOR EATS ADVENTURE PIE by James Kochalka
Booklist, March 1, 2015 issue
“Another absurdly rip-roaring adventure…Kolchalka’s boisterous plot has all of the logic of an imaginative playground game,
which, of course, is a perfect fit for the goofy cartoon characters and riotous, crashing battle scenes on splashy psychedelic backgrounds.”
                http://us.macmillan.com/books/9781626720213


LAST OF THE SANDWALKERS by Jay Hosler
Booklist, March 1, 2015 issue
“A sprawling, fully realized mythology with a complexity that rivals Tolkien…[The] characters are far from human, but filled with humanity.”
                http://us.macmillan.com/books/9781626720244


PRINCESS DECOMPOSIA AND COUNT SPATULA by Andi Watson
Booklist, March 1, 2015 issue
“Decomposia is a plucky main character, so it is easy to understand why the cheerful, young vampire cook would fall for her…The offbeat faux-horror setting is adorable.”

Slate, February 4, 2015: “Zombies, Vampires, and Puddings
“These cartoony inhuman figures are able to feel and display a thrillingly human range of emotions. I really loved Princess Decomposia and Count Spatula.”

Bleeding Cool, February 9, 2015: “The Underworld Is Under New Management
“Raw and inviting…Wonderfully charming.”

THE SCULPTOR by Scott McCloud
The Telegraph, February 10, 2015: “A Master at Work
“…Astonishing intricacy of the world McCloud has created. Everything in these delicate monochrome panels has been considered; every angle calculated, every expression caught…There’s a master at work here, and you can feel it on every page.”

LA Times, February 6, 2015: “An Imaginative Work of Art
“I was riveted.”

The Washington Post, February 6, 2015: “Graphic-Novel Epic
“Hardly anyone who had ever lived [who] didn’t have some kind of aspiration, or of wanting to be remembered as significant in some way.’”

The Guardian, February 2, 2015: “Philosophical Inquiry Meets Hipster Cool
“I could hardly turn the book’s pages fast enough…What a brilliant and gripping book…Quite how McCloud pulls this off, I don’t know. But if you love reading David Mitchell, this is certainly the graphic novel for you.”

SLEEPLESS KNIGHT by James Sturm, Andrew Arnold, and Alexis Frederick-Frost
Booklist, March 1, 2015 issue
“All kinds of appealing slapstick situations…A solid introduction to graphic novels for a young audience.”

FSG BYR HIGHLIGHTS

REVIEWS:

MAX’S MATH by Kate Banks, illus. by Boris Kulikov
Booklist, January 23, 2015
“Kulikov’s manic illustrations, in thickly textured pastels, depict jostling piles of shapes and numbers, which appear all the more cobbled together and fantastical while the brothers are playing their imaginative games.”
                http://us.macmillan.com/books/9780374348755


THE SECRETS WE KEEP by Trisha Leaver
Booklist, March 1, 2015 issue
“Leaver makes this rather dubious premise plausible…Her characters are real.”

Publishers Weekly, February 13, 2015 issue
“Readers will be caught up in the very real grief that Ella feels at losing her sister, as well as her desperation to keep her secret…Watching Ella grapple with questions about life, death, and love makes for rewarding reading.”
