GRIS GRIMLY'S FRANKENSTEIN
SHELLEY, MARY
Gris Grimly's Frankenstein is a twisted, fresh, and utterly original full-length, full-color graphic-novel
adaptation of Mary Shelley's original text, brought to life by acclaimed illustrator Gris Grimly. This is the
first fully illustrated version to use the original 1818 text and is destined to capture the imagination of
those new to the story as well as those who know it well. New York Times bestselling illustrator Gris
Grimly has long considered Frankenstein to be one of his chief inspirations. From the bones and flesh of
the original, he has cut and stitched Mary Shelley's text to his own artwork, creating something entirely
new: a stunningly original remix, both classic and contemporary, sinister and seductive, heart-stopping
and heartbreaking.

HANDEL, WHO KNEW WHAT HE LIKED
ANDERSON, M.T. & HAWKES, KEVIN
This is not your usual picture book biography. Nor was George Frideric Handel your everyday eighteenthcentury
composer. This witty and yet rigorously researched and accessible biography captures Handel’s
essential spirit—from a child who smuggled a clavichord into the attic to play music against his father’s
orders to a young man who imported forty-five pounds of mountain snow to chill wine for a gala—as well
as his remarkable, enduring musical triumphs. But M. T. Anderson also shows Handel’s struggles and
chronicles the illness, ill fortune, and despair that led to his greatest achievement, the Messiah. With
impeccable detail and a wink at the reader, Kevin Hawkes illustrates the singular story of Handel and the
music through which he lives on.
