Reviews
Praise for Shark Summer Marcks...has accomplished an unusual feat with this cinematic homage: He has produced a meta-graphic novel that manages to deconstruct a genre, pay tribute to it and keep the reader happily inside it all at the same time. More popcorn please! --The New York Times A winning production. --Kirkus Reviews Shark Summer is bursting with vibrant, expressive art that transports the reader to a summer on Martha's Vineyard, with a mystery that weaves through local gossip and school drama. The characters are distinct and relatable--kids with unique interests and big dreams, trying to figure out how to be good friends to each other. It's a lovely read! --Molly Knox Ostertag, author-illustrator of the Witch Boy series A strong addition to graphic novel shelves. --School Library Journal
