George O’Connor is a renowned picture book author and illustrator. Journey Into Mohawk Country, an adaptation of the diary of a seventeenth century Dutch explorer, is his first graphic novel—and a fascinating look at a little-known part of New York history. Publisher’s Weekly called this book “a groundbreaking effort that will earn praise as an unusual comics work and as a work of history.”<br>
<br>
Grady Klein comes to the graphic novel from the world of animation. The Lost Colony, which Booklist called “[a] witty, sophisticated, candy-colored adventure,” is the story of a young girl, Birdy, who decides that if only she had a slave, her mother would decide to spend more time with her and love her again. Birdy’s adventures bring slavery into sharp relief as an ugly scar on the face of American history. <br>
