Book SynopsisA New York Times Notable book! One of Barack Obama's favorite books of 2022! Winner of Canada Reads 2023!An exceptionally beautiful book about loneliness, labor, and survival.Carmen Maria MachadoBefore there was Kate Beaton, New York Times bestselling cartoonist of Hark! A Vagrant, there was Katie Beaton of the Cape Breton Beaton, specifically Mabou, a tight-knit seaside community where the lobster is as abundant as beaches, fiddles, and Gaelic folk songs. With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, Katie heads out west to take advantage of Alberta's oil rushpart of the long tradition of East Coasters who seek gainful employment elsewhere when they can't find it in the homeland they love so much. Katie encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands, where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet is never discussed.Beaton's natural cartooning prowess is on full display as she draws colossal machinery and mammoth vehicles set against a sublime Albertan backdrop of wildlife, northern lights, and boreal forest. Her first full length graphic narrative, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands is an untold story of Canada: a country that prides itself on its egalitarian ethos and natural beauty while simultaneously exploiting both the riches of its land and the humanity of its people.

Book Synopsis"[Adrian Tomine] has more ideas in twenty panels than novelists have in a lifetime. Zadie SmithAfter enjoying over six months on the New York Times Bestseller list and receiving a rave review from the same institution, acclaimed cartoonist Adrian Tomine's Killing and Dying is now available in paperback, with an updated cover and French flaps. With this work, Tomine (Shortcomings, Scenes from an Impending Marriage) reaffirms his place not only as one of the most significant creators of contemporary comics, but as one of the great voices of modern American literature. His gift for capturing emotion and intellect resonates: the weight of love and its absence, the pride and disappointment of family, the anxiety and hopefulness of being alive in the twenty-first century.Amber Sweet shows the disastrous impact of mistaken identity in a hyper-connected world; A Brief History of the Art Form Known as Hortisculpture details the invention and destruction of a vital new art form; Translated, from the Japanese, is a lush, full-color display of storytelling through still images; the title story, "Killing and Dying," centers on parenthood, mortality, and stand-up comedy. In six interconnected, darkly funny stories, Tomine forms a quietly moving portrait of contemporary life.Adrian Tomine is a master of the small gesture, equally deft at signaling emotion via a subtle change of expression or writ large across landscapes illustrated in full color. Killing and Dying is a fraught, realist masterpiece.

Book SynopsisA mysterious group of phantom thieves skulks in the shadows of Tokyo, changing the hearts of corrupt adults. But behind their masks are... normal teenagers and a talking black cat?! PERSONA 5: MEMENTOS MISSION is an all-new mystery featuring the cast of PERSONA 5. IN THIS VOLUME: The attempted poisoning of an influential CEO… Suspicious happenings at a local doctor's clinic… Sketchy job requests at a back-street military shop… High schooler and phantom thieves leader Ren Amamiya tackles these mysterious incidents together with his trustworthy friends and the famous high school detective Goro Akechi!Trade ReviewSCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL -- Gr 7 Up–In Tokyo, the vigilante crew known only as the Phantom Thieves lie in wait, then strike when it’s time to hold adults accountable for their wrongdoings. Led by high schooler Ren Amamiya, the secretive group has both its admirers and its naysayers. When a case concerning the suspicious death of a modeling industry executive—and the rumored and potentially related suicide of a female model—comes along, the Phantoms decide to get involved, and thus come up against their most difficult assignment yet, and possibly their most dangerous. The heart and soul of this series is its plotting, with a story that grows and evolves chapter after chapter. It can on occasion be a little too intricate for its own good, jumping around from thread to thread, but the main mystery keeps the pages turning. The host of characters are measured and interesting. While this manga is based off the popular Atlus-developed video game franchise, readers won’t need to be fluent in the world to enjoy this book. Its rich, detailed artwork looks great, and the whodunit at its core will appeal to both fans of the game and newcomers alike.VERDICT Whether or not they’re fans of the video game, readers will appreciate the lovely art and spellbinding mystery that this title brings to the table.
