Barbara Thorson, a girl battling monsters both real and imagined, kicks butt, takes names, and faces her greatest fear in this bittersweet, coming-of-age story. Join her as she navigates through a world filled with giants, armed with her magical warhammer Coveleski, in a tale that is both imaginative and heartfelt.
Experience the power of friendship, the courage to face loss, and the strength to overcome bullying, all wrapped in a fantastical narrative that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality.
I Kill Giants is a modern classic, a graphic novel that invites readers into a world where the impossible becomes possible, and where the giants we face are not just those in our minds.
Reality, it turns out, is often not what you perceive it to be—sometimes, there really is someone out to get you. Made You Up tells the story of Alex, a high school senior unable to tell the difference between real life and delusion.
Armed with a take-no-prisoners attitude, her camera, a Magic 8-Ball, and her only ally (her little sister), Alex wages a war against her schizophrenia, determined to stay sane long enough to get into college. She’s pretty optimistic about her chances until classes begin, and she runs into Miles. Didn't she imagine him?
Before she knows it, Alex is making friends, going to parties, falling in love, and experiencing all the usual rites of passage for teenagers. But Alex is used to being crazy. She’s not prepared for normal.
Funny, provoking, and ultimately moving, this debut novel featuring the quintessential unreliable narrator will have readers turning the pages and trying to figure out what is real and what is made up.
