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.”

REVIEWS:
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)
“Hatke captures the madcap lunacy of Vauhn Body and the Mos Eisley Cantina, throws in a kick-ass girl adventurer, and great art, and it's just about perfect.”

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.”
SORRY YOU’RE LOST by Matt Blackstone
Publishers Weekly, November 4, 2013
“Humorous and graceful…[A] poignant account of a boy grappling with a gaping void in his life.”
