This is a graphic novel that uses the poetry of Han Shan and Shih Te to tell the story of these two scoundrels. That is, if they existed. While it is romantic to think they put their poetry on trees, rocks and caves, more likely they are a collaboration of many people That aside, this is some of the poetry that would influence the Beats, the Dharma Bums (yes that Dharma Bum) and countless people who felt "off the norm." Told in both words and images, this is a book that needs to be experienced as you take your own journey into the world of Zen. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

What would you do if your teenage self turned up on your adult doorstep? That's the dilemma explored by Maurel in this ravishing graphic novel, which pulses with oranges and maroons and beautifully fluid figures. The 15-year-old Luisa is alarmed to find herself deposited by her local bus in the Paris of today, and even more confused when she meets the 31-year-old Luisa. The older Luisa lives a life of stifled compromise that's light years away from her youth, but maybe it's not too late to turn things around. Alternating between laughter and tears, this unforgettable story proves it's never too late to come of age. ~ Reviewed by Charles Bottomley

It feels like Marjorie is barely holding everything together at the family laundromat. Her widowed father has pretty much checked out, there's a weird yoga entrepreneur looking to repossess the property, and the place might be haunted. By a genuine ghost. In a sheet with eye-holes. Thummler's book is gorgeous to behold: the finely-observed, colorful illustrations are as inviting as a giant bowl of Fruit Loops. It's an appropriate compliment to her whimsical, touching story, which navigates grief while still putting a huge smile on the reader's face. It's like a clean clothes smell for your heart. ~ Reviewed by Charles Bottomley
