PRAISE FOR The Last Song:"With spies and informers on all sides, the story builds to a gripping climax ... readers will easily be caught by the young girl's personal heartbreak and conflict and will want to find out more." - Booklist"...The climax of the novel will set the reader in a spiraling whirlwind of intense emotions. This novel is a great read for young adults who enjoy historical fiction dealing with horrifying persecution and the will to survive." - VOYA"...a quickly paced, accessible introduction to a vicious era." - The Toronto Star

The Last Song

"An essential eye-opening investigation of internet use, misuse, and abuse.... Investigative research with profound social, legal, and philosophical implications. Overwhelmingly persuasive. A book every parent--or anyone online--must read."--Hilary Weston Prize jury citation

"Cooke renders it all in fine style, his minimal blue and black palette shifting from classic, pop-arty pulp through squat, cartoony figures to faux-reportage, the bam and crack of violence sitting alongside intricate plans that show how Parker's scams are enacted. It's fast, smart and amoral: a gleefully guilty pleasure." &ndash;The Guardian"The Outfit&#160;is an example of graphic and sequential storytelling at its very best and Cooke repeatedly displays his mastery of story development through his layouts and visuals." &ndash;The Comics Journal

Richard Stark's Parker: The Outfit

"...this is a crucial book which painstakingly restores half-forgotten acotrs to the historical stage. It is indispensable reading for scholars and students alike, as it redresses the balance of agency between elite and non-elite actors, while at the same time highlighting the multifaceted nature of the political issues with which Yugoslavia was faced in both of its incarnations." - Richard Mills, University of East Anglia in European History Quarterly

Praise for Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town: "Leacock had a wonderful ear for dialogue and was superbly skilled in creating polished, self-contained scenes and in evoking character with a few sure strokes." -- Will Ferguson Praise for Seth: "To read a book by Seth is to enter an oddly cozy, perfectly designed world where humor, nostalgia, and a gentle sadness pervade like the last autumnal rays of sunlight on a quiet afternoon." -- San Francisco Weekly

"A radical, complex, and moving book...the best example yet of Roth's astonishing prowess when he is at the top of his talent and control." &#8212;Ted Solotaroff, Esquire"A new shock world of sensual possibility.... Need one say again that Roth is an admirable novelist who never steps twice into the same river?" &#8212;Anthony Burgess"The Breast is terrific...inventive and sane and very funny. The trick which is the heart of the book is brilliant...and rich with meaning." &#8212;John Gardner, The New York TImes Book Review"Hilarious, serious, visionary, logical, sexual-philosophical; the ending amazes&#8212;the joke takes three steps beyond savagery and satire and turns into a sublimeness of pity. One knows when one is reading something that will permanently enter the culture." &#8212;Cynthia Ozick

The Breast

&ldquo;Arbona presents a compelling, sequential, aerial view of a sullen child who nonetheless becomes fascinated by reading. Vivid, fantastical artwork augments the ensuing &hellip; sentences about book-induced trips to faraway places and varied emotions ....&#160;It is easy to imagine an actor with an upper-class British accent reading the wryly humorous text ....&rdquo; -&#160;Kirkus Reviews&#160;&ldquo;.... [T]he text and images together create an engaging book lovers&rsquo; celebration of the connection between readers and their stories and the pleasure that comes from sharing good literature. The sly publishing references&mdash;e.g., the &ldquo;Pull Lizard&rdquo; and &ldquo;No Bell&rdquo; prize stickers&mdash;will tickle adult readers, and the cover of the book matches the paintings of the boy&rsquo;s book as well. A wonderful selection for a storytime for older children ....&#160;A vibrantly illustrated, solid choice for collections looking for books about reading.&rdquo; -&#160;School Library Journal"The Good Little Book is the amazing story of a boy and a book, who met quite by chance&#160;.... Wacky, zany, dazzling illustrations surprise the reader of The Good Little Book at every turn, once again proving that old adage, "You can't tell a book from it's cover." The Good Little Book is a timeless fable that embroiders and celebrates the timeless value of the reading of books.&rdquo; -&#160;Midwest Book Review&ldquo;Maclear steers clear of &lsquo;reading is good for you&rsquo; and focuses instead on a boy&rsquo;s affection for a dearly loved object and sorrow at its loss. But with the affection is something more subtle, a celebration of the comfort of rereading, of having a favourite book that&rsquo;s the only book for you. And Arbona&rsquo;s art works well at aiding and abetting that play of imagination and feeling. Cockeyed perspectives, vivid colours and comic, surreal scenes show how dynamic, how animated, the love for a favourite story can be. Funny and thoughtful.&rdquo; -&#160;The Toronto Star&#160;&ldquo;Arbona&rsquo;s whimsical aesthetic elevates The Good Little Book from a simple&#160;story about how a humble book can change the lives of countless children to an example of the book as objet d&rsquo;art. From the first look at the lush crimson patina and embossed lettering on the cover we are intrigued. The red floral mid-century end pages remind us of old books we loved&#160;as children...&#160;The message of the story is that books are meant to be enjoyed over and over again and Arbona&rsquo;s drawings are sure to keep you coming back for more.&rdquo; &#160;-&#160;Montreal Review of Books

The Good Little Book

"Filled with bumbling characters who achingly love each other, this coming-of-age tale rises above a crowded field to take readers on a moving journey of discovery." -- Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews"Johnston has crafted a beautifully written, low-key, yet emotional story of a family dealing with the return of a son at the close of war. Jamie is wracked with survivor's guilt.... His letters to Rachel ... are painfully realistic, the antithesis of the glamour that teens too often assign to war...." -- Starred Review, Booklist"Johnston gives equal weight to struggles major and trivial as she sensitively examines the painful process of rebuilding one's life under the most difficult of circumstances." -- Publishers Weekly"...a believable, engaging story. The first-person, present-tense narration lends immediacy and Rachel speaks in a convincing adolescent voice.... Libraries will find this sympathetic novel a worthwhile purchase." -- VOYA

"What drives a Bobby Orr to push  along on wrecked knees? How was Wayne Gretzky able to see patterns opening up on  a rush before they did? Why did Tim Raines risk all his potential on cocaine? Not  all of the answers are to be found in this eclectic and intentionally quirky collection  of exceptional Canadian sports reportage, but the questions are posed frankly and  with no ulterior motive beyond sincere curiosity."&#160;Ottawa Citizen  "The way it looks from here is pretty darn good. With Mordecai Richler writing on  former world snooker champion Cliff Thorburn of Victoria, Peter Gzowski on Gretzky,  Ken Dryden on saving hockey and Stephen Brunt on the still unforgiven Ben Johnson,  how can it not be?... These varied and mostly well-chosen pieces reflect [the Canadian]  understated yet sometimes surprisingly feisty national sporting character."&#160;The  Times-Colonist&#160; "[Brunt] has assembled an eclectic and intentionally quirky  collection of exceptional Canadian sports reportage.... As a whole, [the selections]  explore what it is about sports that captivates so many of us.... Questions are  posed frankly and with no ulterior motive beyond sincere curiosity."&#160;The Gazette "Skillfully selected.&hellip; Sure to take readers back to a more innocent time--when Wayne Gretzky was the world&rsquo;s greatest hockey player, not a Hockey Canada  executive, Ben Johnson was the world&rsquo;s fastest human, not a drug cheat, and the Montreal  Expos and Toronto Blue Jays were at the top of the baseball world and had more than  a few thousand fans in the stands per game to witness it."&#160;Winnipeg Free Press
