"He wasn’t looking to become the main character of a graphic novel, but I convinced him that I didn’t just want to portray him as a “hero”—I wanted to capture the different eras he’d lived through, and to include his loved ones and cherished work in my portrayal."

Tsai Kun-lin, a Taiwanese manga publisher, helped bring about the country’s manga explosion in the 1960s. Now The Boy from Clearwater, a new graphic novel series from author Yu Pei-yun and illustrator Zhou Jian-xin, shares his incredible true story.

Getting tired of awards news yet? No?? GOOD BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE 😄

THE DUBIOUS PRANKS OF SHAINDY GOODMAN—already ’s second book (in a row!) to take home the Sydney Taylor medal—has won the National Jewish Book Award for middle grade! 🩵

Once described by an LQ editor as “a twelve-year-old version of Mean Girls with the psychological thrill of Jennifer’s Body,” the book follows Shaindy, an Orthodox Jewish girl who struggles in school and has no good friends. When Gayil, the enviably smart and popular girl next door, ropes her into planning a series of (at first) harmless pranks in their school, Shaindy goes gladly, eager for her approval. But under Gayil’s instigation the mischief soon becomes malice, and Shaindy must figure out what the pranks and humiliations have in common—and how to stop them—before the next target might be her.

Giving voice to a world of talent

Out TODAY from 23-year-old Sámi debut novelist (and reindeer owner) !! FIRE FROM THE SKY is a “superb” coming-of-age story about heritage, family ties and age-old commitments to the past 🌌💓

Ánte’s life has been steeped in Sámi tradition. It is indisputable to him that he, an only child, will keep working with the reindeer. But there is something else too. His feelings for his best friend Erik have changed, grown into something bigger. What would people say if they knew? And how does Erik feel? And Erik’s voice just the push of a button away. Ánte couldn’t answer, could he? But how could he ignore it?

Equal parts heart-wrenching and heart-warming, FIRE FROM SKY is “a rare and triumphant look at what it means for q***rness to stay put, with all the messiness and pain that entails…A fresh voice and a setting that’s pure fire” (Kirkus). 🦌

19/10/2023

…and we’re BACK with our second 10/10 book release! From LQ Renaissance Man comes YA historical epic THE PRINCE & THE COYOTE. 🌞

Mexico. 1418. Meet Prince Acolmiztli. Puma of the Acolhua People. Heir to his father’s throne. Half Acolhuan, half Mexica. Singer. Warrior. Poet. Sixteen years old. And now, betrayed. A palace plot kills his mother and siblings, puts his father’s army into retreat, and sends Prince Acolmiztli into a treacherous exile. Battling hunger, snow-swept mountains, and the machinations of the city-states all around him, he vows revenge. It will take years, but he will return to seek justice. And he'll do it with a new name: Nezahualcoyotl. Fasting Coyote. One of the most legendary figures in Mexican history.

Stunningly illustrated by and peppered with translated poems by the real Prince Neza, THE PRINCE & THE COYOTE is “a rich story of political intrigue, ferocious battles, beautiful landscapes and the enduring hope of humanity” (BookPage).

It’s Gladiator meets the Song of Achilles – it’s The Count of Monte Cristo set in pre-Columbian Mexico. It’s “riveting” (Kirkus), “genre-bending” (SLJ), and “sophisticated” (PW). And it’s in stores now.
