Small, an award-winning children's book author and illustrator, won legions of new fans with his stunning graphic memoir, Stitches. This eagerly-awaited graphic novel is a book of few words, powerful emotions, and spliced images that speak volumes. The narrative is set in the 1950s and follows thirteen-year-old Russell Pruitt as he struggles to survive a harrowing adolescence. Abandoned by his mother, he sets out on his own to find his father, who is somewhere in California. He ends up in Marshfield, a derelict town menaced by a sadistic animal killer where he fends off his alcoholic father at home and dodges a gang of bullies at school. By the time he's finally rescued by a Chinese immigrant couple, Russel can no longer tell who he can trust.
In their newest venture, the team behind the Artemis Fowl graphic novels depicts the journey of Ebo, a 21st-century child refugee. While Ebo's story is a work of fiction, he represents the thousands of people who cross the sea between Northern Africa and Italy each year. Mysterious drawings that viscerally reveal the dangers enable readers to put a face to the refugee crisis. Ebo's hopes, dreams, and fears are the vehicle for an urgent message—that families belong together. Ages 12 and up.

He was a man of many names and many lives, some invented and some embellished. But one thread followed John James Audubon through his life: a love of nature and an unquenchable thirst for adventure. This graphic novel depicts an eccentric character who became one of the fathers of modern-day ornithology, revered even today for his paintings of the birds of North America. Paging through the chapters of Audubon's storied life, illustrator Royer gives a sense of the American wild, as well as Audubon's wild desire to document it. Ages 13 and up.
The finale to Feiffer's inimitable noir trilogy is grand indeed. Told with Feiffer's subtly-toned yet irrepressible graphics, this homage to noir that began with Kill My Mother and continued with Cousin Joseph unfolds against a Hollywood backdrop rich with politics, back-stabbers, femme fatales, and more. As this final volume opens, it's 1953. Tinseltown is haunted by spooks of all sorts, both supernatural and political. The witch hunts are in high gear and Archie Goldman, of Goldman and Mother, Confidential Investigators, is searching for a screenplay that reveals a real-world conspiracy behind the Hollywood blacklist. But is the film itself truth or a fake? And in a town where almost everyone has something to hide, is there reason for the paranoia or is it all another con?
