REVIEWS:
THE RETURN OF ZITA THE SPACEGIRL by Ben Hatke
“Can only be called an absolute triumph.”
“Zita is an unintentionally heroic girl with impulse control issues, a quick temper, and a strong sense of justice. Her target audience is...well I take the idea of the ‘all-ages’ story very seriously.”
SHACKLETON by Nick Bertozzi
“Exciting, amusing and detailed…An amazing tale.”
“A century ago, Ernest Shackleton planned the first trek from shore to shore across Antarctica. During their journey, he and the crew aboard the Endurance became stranded in ice along the Antarctic coast and nearly perished. Now their story is being told in a beautiful new graphic novel from artist Nick Bertozzi.”
“It’s rare to see such a range of structures, especially within such a limited number of pages, but Bertozzi’s determination to keep his story fresh lends energy to the tale.”
THIS ONE SUMMER by Mariko Tamaki, illus. by Jillian Tamaki
Shelf Awareness, June 24, 2014
“For kids on the cusp of adolescence, This One Summer by Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki speaks to precisely where they are.”
THE SCULPTOR by Scott McCloud
“A page-turner from beginning to end.”
THE ZOO BOX by Ariel Cohn, illus. by Aron Nels Steinke
Kirkus, July 15, 2014 issue
“The zoo comes to two unsuspecting children when they discover a magical, mysterious box…Told through wide, bright panels, this graphic-novel/picture-book hybrid will certainly conjure memories of Chris Van Allsburg’s Jumanji.”
Publishers Weekly, June 20, 2014 issue
“The box that must not be opened is a tried-and-true storytelling device; Cohn and Steinke’s graphic novel–style picture book, however, is anything but formulaic.”

REVIEWS:
EDDA: A Little Valkyrie’s First Day of School by Adam Auerbach
Wall Street Journal, June 20, 2014
“Kudos to author-illustrator Adam Auerbach —or, rather, a celebratory goblet of mead to him—for pairing a traditional school story with Norse mythology.”
EDWARD HOPPER PAINTS HIS WORLD by Robert Burleigh, illus. by Wendell Minor
“Despite setbacks, Hopper stays true to his passion, painting idyllic country homes, lush seascapes, and mysterious scenes of New York at night.”

REVIEWS:
DOG AND BEAR: TRICKS AND TREATS by Laura Vaccaro Seeger
Booklist, July 1, 2014 issue
“The funny surprises will fool young readers, who will be delighted when the jokes are revealed.”
EMILY’S BLUE PERIOD by Cathleen Daly, illus. by Lisa Brown
Shelf Awareness, June 24, 2014: 3rd STARRED REVIEW!
« “In Cathleen Daly's sophisticated and inspiring picture book, budding artist Emily develops a style of her own.”
Booklist, July 1, 2014 issue
“During the blue period, tones are gray and black and blue, but the final colorful collage invites children to find all the parts of Emily’s life. Artful.”
“When Emily’s parents separate, she becomes sad and loses her interest in art. Then her teacher gives the class a lesson on collages made by Braque and Picasso, and Emily begins to understand that her family’s new arrangement is like a collage—complete and beautiful in its own way.”
THE SUMMER INVITATION by Charlotte Silver
Booklist, July 1, 2014 issue
“A comfy love letter to New York City and times gone by.”
