Yeah, It Is!

by Leslie Stein

A bold and humorous picaresque featuring an adolescent misfit and the oddball characters she seeks to befriend after losing her best buddy to a distant suburb. Hipster wannabes, cheesy New Agers, and co-dependent 13-year-old girls are meticulously illustrated with cut paper and ink, making this Xeric-winning graphic novella a fun and unique read.

I got this at MoCCA this year based entirely on the way it looked. The author showed me some pages of her next book and the process she uses and I was instantly smitten with her cut paper style comics.
The story itself is one of great sadness, told with a deft hand and great humor.
I can not wait to read more of Ms Stein's work. She has a voice that demands attention and reading.
