In her graphic novel debut, the author explores the childhood burdens of memory and guilt, and her struggle and success in forming an identity entirely her own. It's 1950s New York, and Marisabina Russo is being raised Catholic and attending a Catholic school that she loves-but when she finds out that she's Jewish by blood, and that her family members are Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, her childhood is thrown into turmoil. To make matters more complicated, her father is out of the picture, her mother is ambitious and demanding, and her older half brothers have troubles, too. Following the author's young life from first grade to her teens in the tumultuous, liberating 1960s, this is a heartfelt, unexpectedly humorous, and meticulously illustrated memoir.

Anya could really use a friend. But her new BFF isn't kidding about the 'Forever' part! Of all the things Anya expected to find at the bottom of an old well, a new friend was not one of them. Especially not a new friend who's been dead for a century. Falling down a well is bad enough, but Anya's normal life might actually be worse. She's embarrassed by her family, self-conscious about her body, and she's pretty much given up on fitting in at school. A new friend - even a ghost - is just what she needs.

The critically acclaimed, award-winning, modern classic Speak is now a stunning graphic novel. 'Speak up for yourself-we want to know what you have to say.' From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High, Melinda knows this is a big fat lie, part of the nonsense of high school. She is friendless-an outcast-because she busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops, so now nobody will talk to her, let alone listen to her. Through her work on an art project, she is finally able to face what really happened that night: She was raped by an upperclassman, a guy who still attends Merryweather and is still a threat to her.
