It is 1595, and the rabbi’s son Jacob is frustrated with having to<br />
live in the walled ghetto known as Jewish Town. Why can’t he<br />
venture outside of the gates and explore the beautiful city? His<br />
father warns him that Passover is a dangerous time to be a Jew<br />
and that the people from outside accuse the Jews of dreadful<br />
deeds. But one night, Jacob follows his father and two<br />
companions as they unlock the ghetto gates and proceed to the<br />
river, where they mold a human shape from the mud of the<br />
riverbank. When the rabbi speaks strange words, the shape is<br />
infused with life and the Golem of Prague is born.<br />
In this breathtaking retelling of a timeless tale, Irene N.<br />
Watts’s beautiful words are complemented by the haunting blackand-white<br />
images of artist Kathryn E. Shoemaker.<br />
PRAISE FOR GOOD-BYE MARIANNE: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL:<br />
“Shoemaker’s style is gentle, quiet, shaded, and soft-edged. She filters<br />
the horrors, thus allowing some access to this world to quite young<br />
readers…. The particular appeal of Marianne’s story is that the ordinary<br />
woes of childhood – loneliness, boredom, betrayal by a friend – are in<br />
the foreground. In its graphic novel incarnation, the story retains this<br />
familiarity and welcomes a new crop of readers.” – Quill & Quire<br />
