&ldquo;As a character explicitly points out, it&rsquo;s painfully evident that  parental selfishness has given [these teens] severe reason to distrust  adults and that they&rsquo;re not about to give Onizuka a second chance if he  lets them down. As a result, the manga is dealing with the same Onizuka,  but watching him walk a much narrower tight rope&hellip; It&rsquo;s intriguing to  consider how the manga might react to the new twist in its careful  balance act and how 14 Days might consequently develop in subtly different ways than the original.&rdquo; &mdash;Ain&rsquo;t it Cool News&ldquo;I have never read a GTO comic before this, so the prospect of reading what amounts to a  spin-off was a bit intimidating. Luckily the premise is pretty simple&hellip; I  liken this book to Columbo. Anyone who has ever watched a Columbo episode knows that Columbo is going to solve the case. The real  pleasure comes from seeing how the bumbling detective puts it all  together&hellip; The figures are strong and confident, and the backgrounds are  stunning.&rdquo; &mdash;Stumptown Trade Review&ldquo;I loved it&hellip; The most surprising thing about 14 Days in Shonan is its ability to address serious social problems without devolving  into an Afterschool Special. The hand-to-hand combat and barrage of  condom jokes helps mitigate against didacticism, to be sure, but  Fujisawa is skillful enough to make the students&rsquo; personal troubles a  meaningful&mdash;and sometimes moving&mdash;part of the story, inspiring Onizuka to  new heights of creativity (and silliness) in his efforts to reach them.  Highly recommended.&rdquo; &mdash;The Manga Critic

"Young has produced a fascinating book. It is also very timely given current debates, both within and beyond psychotherapy, about trauma, abuse and its recovery."---Janet Sayers, British Journal of Psychotherapy

&ldquo;With great skill and generosity, Barry Schwabsky threads a fine needle in writing accessible art criticism for a general audience about a wide range of artists and histories, without making any concessions to his passions &hellip; offering his readers an erudite and independent voice as a guide and a resource.&rdquo; &mdash;Mira Schor, artist and author of A Decade of Negative Thinking: Essays on Art, Politics and Daily Life &ldquo;Schwabsky&rsquo;s prose is elegant, erudite, and to the point, fueled by unprejudiced judgment and a great sense of observation. What he wrote of Degas applies eminently to him, too: &lsquo;He saw things that had never been noticed before, little gestures that are insignificant but that are touching in a strangely anonymous way because they are simply human.&rsquo;&rdquo; &mdash;Thierry de Duve, author of Sewn in the Sweatshops of Marx"Like many of the best critics, Schwabsky has the ability to describe things so precisely that no explicit evaluation is necessary. Every time an idea is introduced, it is allowed to hold the reader's attention for the time it takes to ground a judgement, and no longer. This gentle rhythm gives the essays an unillusioned clarity and undogmatic authority rarely found in writing about art."&mdash;Malcolm Bull, author of Anti-Nietzsche&#160;(in praise of Words for Art)From the Trade Paperback edition.

The book will make readers yearn for more of Myrtle&rsquo;s (mis)adventures." &mdash;Bulletin of the Center for Children&#39;s Books "A saucy, likable heroine shines in a mystery marked by clever, unexpected twists." &mdash;Kirkus Reviews "[A]&#160;clever and lively Victorian English village murder mystery . . . Bunce does an excellent job of making Myrtle the lead actor but gives her a strong set of (mostly female) supporters." &mdash;The Horn Book &ldquo;Bunce&rsquo;s detective series opener features a quirky, winning narrator and a lively secondary cast . . . A generous, well-wrought relationship between governess and charge complements tightly plotted twists . . . Myrtle is as clever as she is determined, and her expertise&mdash;seen in evidence collection and courtroom antics&mdash;is certain to delight genre stalwarts and mystery novices alike.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly &ldquo;In the tradition of heroines like Flavia de Luce and Harriet the Spy, Myrtle is a fine example of the Victorian scientific female&mdash;smart, inquisitive and fearless. Written with a terrific mixture of humor and suspense, Premeditated Myrtle is a perfect read for any budding detective.&rdquo; &mdash;Rhys Bowen,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author of the&#160;Her Royal Spyness&#160;series
