“It's a chance to remind audiences that storytelling takes many forms, each with its own set of tools and strengths.”Īnd here’s a chance for you to be reminded of that yourself, live and in person, as all four authors will be at BookPeople on Monday, May 15, at 7pm, with these latest published wonderments. They are survivors of some sort of horrendous toxic spill or alien invasion, or opening of a portal into an unwelcome world. “Being the only author promoting a graphic novel is cool,“ says Westerfeld. This books is about a young woman, Addison, who is raising her younger sister, Lexa, alone.
He could feel that way – as many a YA protagonist often has, right? – but: And Westerfeld, his story all expertly drawn and paneled, doesn’t even have to feel like the odd one out. Which is not to say that Erin Beaty’s The Traitor’s Kiss and Taran Matharu’s The Battlemage and Kristen Orlando’s You Don’t Know My Name aren’t going to fill your mind’s eyes with adventurous visions as you read, too – because they will.
And it – Spill Zone, a creepy urban tale that follows a young photographer who’s illegally documenting the results of an industrial event that’s turned the now-abandoned parts of her city into a living, shifting nightmare – Spill Zone is illustrated by Alex Puvilland.Īnd this Puvilland previously lent his graphic talents to the Prince of Persia and Templar projects, and, oh holy soaring nightbirds, his style perfectly fits Westerfeld’s unnerving narrative in page after full-color page. One of those, among three other compelling yet text-only books.Īnd this particular graphic novel is written by Scott Westerfeld, the author of that almost ridiculously popular Uglies series. That’s right: What they call a graphic novel.
