From the award-winning duo of Jennifer and Matthew Holm comes the sequel to the bestselling Sunny Side Up, full of just as much heart and just as many laughs. Summer’s over and it’s time for Sunny Lewin to enter the strange and unfriendly hallways of middle school. When her Gramps calls her from Florida to ask how she’s doing, she always tells him she’s fine. But the truth? Sunny is not having the best time. Not only is the whole middle school thing confusing, but life at home is confusing, too. Luckily Sunny’s got her best friend and a mysterious new neighbor on her side, because she is not going let all this confusion get her down. Instead, she’s going to remain Sunny-side up! Available in Softcover and Hardcover editions.

At the Radcliffe Institute, Jonathan Guyer is writing a book on the new wave of comic art that has electrified the Middle East and North Africa over the past decade.

ALLS FAIRE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL GN | Preview

(W) Victoria Jamieson (A/CA) Victoria Jamieson
From the author of the Newbery Honor winner Roller Girl, a heartwarming graphic novel about starting middle school, surviving your embarrassing family, and life at the Renaissance Faire that’s perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier. Eleven-year-old Imogene (Impy) has grown up with two parents working at the Renaissance Faire, and she’s eager to begin her own training as a squire. First, though, she’ll need to prove her bravery. Luckily Impy has just the quest in mind – she’ll go to public school after a life of being homeschooled! But it’s not easy to act like a noble knight-in-training in middle school. Impy falls in with a group of girls who seem really nice… until they don’t. For the first time, she’s embarrassed of her thrift shop apparel, her family’s unusual lifestyle, and their small, messy apartment. And when her new friends encourage her to do something mean, Impy goes along with it. Before long, Impy doesn’t even recognize herself. Is she the dragon in her own story or the heroic knight?

BEIRUT WONT CRY GN | Preview

Throughout the summer of 2006, during the Israeli attack on Lebanon, Mazen Kerbaj published drawings, comics, and writing giving a first-hand account of someone creating during a time of intense everyday brutality. Drawn and written in English, French, and Arabic, Beirut Won’t Cry shows us how an artist views the world and everything in it – his relationships, his family, and his creative pursuits – as it violently crumbles around him. Both historically vital and hilarious, Beirut Won’t Cry introduces Kerbaj’s unique voice and urgent pen to an American audience for the very first time, teaching readers how to carry on and resist in times of war and oppression.

(W) Garth Ennis (A) Craig Cermak (CA) Dan Panosian
One year after the catastrophic events that ended Red Team, the NYPD’s elite anti-narcotics unit, the surviving Detectives Eddie Mellinger and Trudy Giroux are in the doldrums. Considered a political liability, the two are kept busy on small-time cases by their suspicious NYPD commanders, but a chance encounter with an out-of-his-depth rich kid in the ghetto gives them a chance to get back in the game. The trouble is, it means going far beyond the law… which is what almost got them killed last time around!

Trina Robbins’ Last Girl Standing chronicles a life of sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll and comics. From her New York childhood in the 1940s to visiting the EC offices and posing for men’s magazines in the 1950s, interacting with rock royalty and entering the orbit of underground cartoonists in the 1960’s before moving to San Francisco, co-founding Wimmen’s Comix and ultimately transforming into a comics historian and lecturer in the ’90s and 2000s, Trina Robbins broke the rules and takes no prisoners in this heavily illustrated memoir.

Poppies of Iraq is Brigitte Findakly’s nuanced chronicle of her relationship with her homeland Iraq, co-written and drawn by her husband, the acclaimed cartoonist Lewis Trondheim. In spare and elegant detail, they share memories of her middle class childhood touching on cultural practices, the education system, Saddam Hussein’s state control, and her family’s history as Orthodox Christians in the arab world. Poppies of Iraq is intimate and wide-ranging; the story of how one can become separated from one’s homeland and still feel intimately connected yet ultimately estranged.
