Take a sec to pat yourselves on the back, Cybilians (*pat*pat*), for being one of the first literary awards to go all multi-media while others were still saying "graphic what?" Alysa Stewart joins this forward-looking bunch of judges this year in Graphic Novels. She contributes to everead, just one of five blogs listed in her Blogspot profile (wow ... Alysa, when do you sleep?)
Wonderstruck
by Brian Selznick
Scholastic
Alysa tackled "Wonderstruck," from the same author/illustrator who gave us "The Invention of Hugo Cabret." She notes her visceral reaction to this newest book:
Sitting alone in a quiet house and reading Wonderstruck, I almost forgot I could hear. The parallel stories pulled me along from the very beginning; Selznick wastes no time introducing us to the conflict.
Haha, some of the blogs listed are not posted on very often -- that's my secret to keeping sleep. Well, when my kids will let me sleep. :)
