Callie is a punk rock star in the big city who could use a little
peace and quiet. Martina is a singing farm mouse with dreams of
making it in the big city. When they both show up at the Battle of
the Bands, Callie and Mel get a taste of what the other has to
offer. But is living another mouse's life really all it's cracked
up to be? In this Far Out Fables adventure, Aesop's "The Town Mouse
and the Country Mouse" is retold with a modern twist to create an
exciting graphic novel for kids!
One of the most significant transformations in literature for
children and young adults during the last twenty years has been the
resurgence of comics. Educators and librarians extol the benefits
of comics reading, and increasingly, children's and YA comics and
comics hybrids have won major prizes, including the Printz Award
and the National Book Award. Despite the popularity and influence
of children's and YA graphic novels, the genre has not received
adequate scholarly attention. Graphic Novels for Children and Young
Adults is the first book to offer a critical examination of
children's and YA comics. The anthology is divided into five
sections: structure and narration; transmedia; pedagogy; gender and
sexuality; and identity, that reflect crucial issues and recurring
topics in comics scholarship during the twenty-first century. The
contributors are likewise drawn from a diverse array of
disciplines-English, education, library science, and fine arts.
Collectively, they analyze a variety of contemporary comics,
including such highly popular series as Diary of a Wimpy Kid and
Lumberjanes; Eisner award-winning graphic novels by Gene Luen Yang,
Nate Powell, Mariko Tamaki, and Jillian Tamaki; as well as volumes
frequently challenged for use in secondary classrooms, such as
Raina Telgemeier's Drama andSherman Alexie's The Absolutely True
Diary of a Part-Time Indian. With contributions by: Eti Berland,
Rebecca A. Brown, Christiane Buuck, Joanna C. Davis-McElligatt,
Rachel Dean-Ruzicka, Karly Marie Grice, Mary Beth Hines, Krystal
Howard, Aaron Kashtan, Michael L. Kersulov, Catherine Kyle, David
E. Low, Anuja Madan, Meghann Meeusen, Rachel L. Rickard Rebellino,

Sommers, Marni Stanley, Gwen Athene Tarbox, Sarah Thaller, Annette
Wannamaker, and Lance Weldy.
