Drawn and Quarterly Red Winter
Book SynopsisThe scene is late seventies Sweden: the four-decade-long reign of the once indestructible socio-democratic party has come to an end. Parties on the far left begin to mobilize, hoping to overcome the prevailing capitalist model on a national scale, but also in the streets, factories, and small towns to the North. This is where we meet Siv: a married mother of three employed by the youth sector of her local socio-democratic chapter. Without warning, Siv falls in love with a young Maoist, Ulrik, who recently arrived from the south of Sweden to militarize?and gain control?of the steelworkers union. Anneli Furmark s Red Winter weaves together the story of Siv, Ukrik, and the concentric circles of tension that slowly build around them, threatening to disintegrate her family s foundation. Her three children look on, noticing a shift in their mother without fully understanding it. Siv and Ulrik drift through the season, musing on their actions, their politics, their love, and its inevitable consequences?while Furmark s delicate hues of blue and orange heighten the cinematic qualities of northern Sweden s isolated landscape. Red Winter is a tale of a love that haunts in the darkness of winter.

Long out of print, Museum of Mistakes collects anything and everything that is The Fart Party. PLUS: numerous pages of Julia’s early comic work, unpublished and previously uncollected comics, short stories, illustrations, process pages, hate mail, sketchbook pages, tear stains, and more.

Capstone Global Library Ltd Jack and the Beanstalk
Book SynopsisWhen Jack sells his family's cow for magic beans, his mother is anything but pleased. Soon, however, the beans sprout into a towering beanstalk. It leads to a castle filled with gold and other treasures. Jack's family will be rich, if he can sneak past the man-eating giant!Trade ReviewIt’s “Fee Fie Foh Fum” when Jack runs smack into the beanstalk upon waking. Later a huge “rumble” spreads across the page when the giant enters the room. Large panels, easy-to-read speech balloons, and a muted full-color palette craft an effective retelling. Background history of the story, writing prompts, and discussion questions are included. * School Library Journal *Frequent children’s graphic novelist Blake A. Hoena (Legend of Sleepy Hollow, 2008; Ooze Slingers from Outer Space, 2007) offers this new version of the oft-told classic. He elegantly simplifies and streamlines an already fast-paced tale, producing a very crisp version. This allows Ricardo Tercio (Spider-Man Fairy Tales, 2007) to imbue the story with multiple levels through his flexible figures and somber palette. The giant, with his blazing orange eyes and angry, malleable face, presents an age-appropriate sense of menace, and Jack exudes the energy of a young boy, always poised for action even when sitting still. With just a dash of slapstick humor and the tale’s inherent suspense, this is a grand opportunity to introduce young kids to the graphic format through a story they are already familiar with; those who already follow their favorite superheroes in comics will see the vast range of possibilities in sequential art. To help with classroom use, there is a glossary, brief history of the tale, discussion questions, writing prompts, and suggested Internet sites. * Booklist *Jack and his widowed mother lived in a small ramshackle country cottage in England. One day, as Jack was milking the cow, he sadly discovered that she had gone dry. There was no alternative, but to sell Milky White, because otherwise they would starve. On the way to the market Jack ran into an old man who convinced him to trade Milky for five magic beans. Needless to say, his mother was some unhappy and threw him out, stating he couldn’t come back until he got their cow back. He planted those beans, which quickly grew into a giant beanstalk. “FEE FIE FOH FUM! I smell the blood of an Englishman!” Whoa, Jack found something totally unexpected when he reached the top . . . a giant. Perhaps you already know the end of this story! Hoena tells it a bit differently, but a little extra spice is always nice in a fairy tale. The small cast of characters, Jack, The Mother, The Giant’s Wife and the Giant, are introduced in the front of the book. In the back of the book we find information about the author and illustrator, a glossary, the history of Jack and the Beanstalk, discussion questions and writing prompts for classroom or homeschool use. Graphic novels can oftentimes spur the reluctant reader into action. The “comic book” or graphic visual format is more exciting for some children. Tercio’s illustrations are streamlined and simple. The uncluttered pages are appealing will stimulate the reader’s imagination. These retold tales do make reading a bit more enticing and fun! http://roundtableforkids.blogspot.com/2009/04/jack-beanstalk-graphic-novel-juvenile.html * Roundtable Reviews for Kids *Folktales are the perfect genre for graphic novels with their stereotypical characters and plentiful action. Hoena’s retelling of this familiar tale is a blending of two well-known versions: Benjamin Tabart’s chapbook published in 1807 with details found from the Joseph Jacobs’ 1890 version. In the Tabart version, Jack is taking back items the giant had stolen from his father. In Jacobs’ version, Jack is the trickster and steals because his family is poor. Included in this retelling is a table of contents, discussion questions for reading groups, writing prompts, and information about the author and the illustrator. The illustrator has used backgrounds dominated by green, mauve, and brown to create atmosphere in his cartoon-style illustrations, which appear to be in the Disney tradition. Although geared to younger readers, older elementary reluctant readers will enjoy this as well. The cover art is eye-catching, and the sturdy binding will hold up under heavy use. Glossary. Recommended. * Library Media Connection *

Author and educator Tommy Jenkins was inspired by his students to trace this history from the earliest steps toward democracy during the American Revolution, to the upheaval caused by the Civil War, the fight for women's suffrage, the civil rights movement, the election of an African American president, and beyond. Along the way, Jenkins identifies events and trends that led to the unprecedented results of the 2016 presidential election that left many Americans wondering, How did this happen? At a time when many citizens are experienciTrade ReviewJenkins’s rousing work will inspire students to educate themselves on the issues—and, when the time comes, to vote early and often. * School Library Journal - STARRED review *“This is a great year to brush up voting rights, especially the laws surrounding distance voting, and this book is a great start.” * GeekMom *“Written with a progressive tone, this work’s clear factual nature makes it a worthy read for anyone across the political spectrum…” * Library Journal *“A panoptic history of the vote that breaks down everything from gerrymandering to Americans for Prosperity's dark influence, Drawing the Vote is a great pick for both adults and young Americans who want to understand what it means to be a voter.” * Shelf Awareness *The exposition and Lacker’s simple but energetic illustrations combine to pack valuable information on each page, while making even complex issues (such as the racism of white suffragists who fought for the 19th Amendment) easy to follow. Suited best to younger readers new to the topic, Jenkins’s work lays out the high-stakes history clearly and succinctly. * Publishers Weekly *
