This collector’s edition includes an introduction by Maurice Sendak as well as appreciations by some of the top authors and illustrators working in children’s publishing today. Each of these brief tales is filled with humor, and James Marshall’s drawings are guaranteed to spark feelings of empathy, delight, and self-recognition. In this volume, all thirty-five episodes are brought together to celebrate friendship and two of the most lovable characters ever created. George and Martha teach each other (and adoring readers) that even in a close friendship, privacy is important, practical jokes can sometimes backfire, and among other things, pouring split pea soup into your loafers to spare the chef’s feelings is not the best-laid plan.Ī man with a talent for friendship, James Marshall defined its very essence in his stories about the world’s two best friends. Like all best friends, George and Martha do everything together-go to the movies, play at the beach, and just hang around not doing much of anything. This 368-page hardcover edition will bring joy and giggles for years and makes an excellent gift. George and Martha, those incomparable hippos, will delight readers of all ages in these five funny, warm, and wonderful stories. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. It also scored the Bram Stoker Award for Best First. Seemingly influenced equally by Clive Barker, David Cronenberg, and a particularly distasteful nightmare, this entry into the body-horror canon carries with it the kind of fatalism horror readers prize-it’s going to end badly, for sure, but just how badly? Currently available in an e-book version from multiple sources, this is well worth rediscovering, if you’ve got the guts. The Cipher won accolades from Fangoria, Locus, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction as well as Publishers Weekly and Writer’s Digest. The grungy, sweaty two-person drama, delivered in Nicholas’ vulgar ramble, widens to include additional viewers of the videotape who become fast new acolytes. Nakota becomes obsessed with the Funhole (a place of “blood and sex and revelation”) and is driven mad when it is Nicholas, not her, whose flesh becomes gloriously infected. His caustic sometime-lover, Nakota, christens it “the Funhole” and begins inserting experimental items: a jar of insects (they combine and mutate), a live mouse (it is ripped apart), a human hand from the morgue (it reanimates), and, finally, a video camera, which records a self-eviscerating figure of awe-inspiring dreadfulness-Koja only teases its description. It’s a marvel of bleak economy: Nicholas, going nowhere in his video-store-clerk job, discovers a foot-wide black vortex in an old storage room of his apartment building. Winner of both a Bram Stoker Award and a Locus Award in 1991, Koja’s debut has yet to lose one iota of impact.

Gemma’s feelings for Ty ring true because Lucy Christopher created such a compelling character in Ty. And I wasn’t even upset that Gemma loves Ty. She took me into the mind of Gemma, who resisted Ty as much as she could, but ultimately, she admits that she loves him in a way. She made me like him and worry about his welfare. She managed to make me feel sorry for a kidnapper who drugged a teenage girl. All the professional reviews I read recommend Grades 9-12, but it was in my MS/HS library and quite popular!
