Fulcrum Inc.,US Captive of Friendly Cove: Based on the Secret
Book SynopsisNominee:2016 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, Best Adaptation from Another Medium2016 Harvey Award, Best Graphic Novel AlbumBased on John Jewitt’s journals, this artful book of historical fiction recounts an amazing slice of history After his ship is burned and his shipmates killed, John Jewitt lived as a captive of the Mowachaht Indians for three years on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Readers can follow Jewitt’s adventures in this graphic novel as he plies his skills as a blacksmith, saves the life of his only remaining crew member, and comes up with a strategy to free them both.Trade ReviewFeatured in The Washington Post's round up of debut books at the Small Press Expo 2015 "An entertaining and informative presentation of a true-life adventure that will be new to many. Recommended for fans of Gary Paulsen--esque survival stories and Pacific Northwest history"--Library Journal "In retelling Jewitt's story, Goldfield draws not only upon Jewitt's journals (kept in secret throughout his captivity), but also on other historical records, contemporary First Nations sources, and her own imagination. The result is a character-driven survival story--one in which Jewitt's genuine rapport with his captors conflicts with his unwavering desire to return home. The full-color illustrations (done by penciler Short, inker Dembicki, and colorist Keeling)...establish a strong sense of the time, the place, and Mowachaht culture. A respectful, leisurely paced work of historical fiction. (Graphic historical fiction. 12-18)" --Kirkus "The artwork is stunning, giving us a visual of the Island and the people, and what a wonderful way to experience the history and the geography. And the writing is a terrific example of creative nonfiction. The historical and cultural facts are true, but presented in a compelling story." --Maryann Writes blog "I learned a lot about the Mowachaht from the early 19th century, which was what I hoped for. That's as much due to Michael Short's images as to...Goldfield's words. She gives life to the story and tells it in a clear and compelling way. She's aided by impressive inks from Matt Dembicki and a gorgeous color palette from Evan Keeling that brings to the page very nicely the beauty of the Pacific Northwest." --Michael May's Adventure blog "Fans of graphic novels and real life stories plucked from the history books should be drawn to read Captive of Friendly Cove: Based on the Secret Journals of John Jewitt." --Mother Daughter Book Club blog "Have you read a graphic novel? If not, why not try this one or get it for a young adult reader you may know." --SlingWords blog

Catapult Artificial: A Love Story
Book SynopsisWinner of the Living Now Book AwardFinalist for the American Book Fest Best Book AwardsA visionary story of three generations of artists whose search for meaning and connection transcends the limits of lifeHow do we relate to—and hold—our family’s past? Is it through technology? Through spirit? Art, poetry, music? Or is it through the resonances we look for in ourselves?In Artificial, we meet the Kurzweils, a family of creators who are preserving their history through unusual means. At the center is renowned inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, who has long been saving the documents of his deceased father, Fredric, an accomplished conductor and pianist from Vienna who fled the Nazis in 1938.Once, Fred’s life was saved by his art: an American benefactor, impressed by Fred’s musical genius, sponsored his emigration to the United States. He escaped just one month before Kristallnacht.Now, Fred has returned. Through AI and salvaged writing, Ray is building a chatbot that writes in Fred’s voice, and he enlists his daughter, cartoonist Amy Kurzweil, to help him ensure the immortality of their family’s fraught inheritance.Amy’s deepening understanding of her family’s traumatic uprooting resonates with the creative life she fights to claim in the present, as Amy and her partner, Jacob, chase jobs, and each other, across the country. Kurzweil evokes an understanding of accomplishment that centers conversation and connection, knowing and being known by others. With Kurzweil’s signature humanity and humor, in boundary-pushing, gorgeous handmade drawings, Artificial guides us through nuanced questions about art, memory, and technology, demonstrating that love, a process of focused attention, is what grounds a meaningful life.

Random House USA Inc Let There Be Light: The Real Story of Her
Book SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • An “irreverent yet profound” (Publishers Weekly) retelling of the Book of Genesis, starring a female God, from the acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist and author of Passing for Human WINNER OF THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New YorkerIn this ambitious and transcendent graphic novel, Liana Finck turns her keen eye to none other than the Old Testament, reimagining the story of Genesis with God as a woman, Abraham as a resident of New York City, and Rebekah as a robot, among many other delightful twists. In Finck''s retelling, the millennia-old stories of Adam and Eve, Abraham and Isaac, and Jacob and Esau haunt the pages like familiar but partially forgotten nursery rhymes―transmuted by time but still deeply resonant. With her trademark insightfulness, wry humor, and supple, moving visual style, Finck accentuates the latent sweetness and timeless wisdom of the original text, infusing it with wit and whimsy while retaining every ounce of its spiritual heft. Let There Be Light is proof that old stories can live forever, whether as ancient scripture or as a series of profound and enchanting cartoons. The Book of Genesis is about some of the most fundamental, eternally pertinent questions that we can ask: What does it mean to be human? What is the purpose of our lives? And how should we treat one another? The stories that attempt to answer these questions are an immediate link with the people who first told them. Unable to fathom the holiness and preciousness of that notion, or put it into words, Finck set out to depict it. The result is a true story of creation, rendered by one of our most innovative creators. LONGLISTED FOR THE CAROL SHIELDS PRIZE FOR FICTION
