ABOUT THE BOOK In the tradition of SPEAK, this extraordinary debut novel “is a poignant book that realistically looks at the lasting effects of trauma on love, relationships, and life” (School Library Journal, starred review). ![]() ![]() ![]() Fascinating concept, but I think this message is only realized in the final few pages of the book. ![]() ![]() The book is ultimately about the power and danger of rumour how believing in whispered half-truths or lies can create the devils you fear. Here, I appreciated the messages that emerged at the very end, but the story of the whales hunting Toby Wick (yes, it's a retelling of Moby-Dick from the perspective of a whale) almost put me to sleep. In Release, I really enjoyed the emotional chapters about a teenage boy coming to terms with his sexuality in a deeply religious family, but the weird magical realism chapters did nothing for me. That being said, his experimental style doesn't always work for me. And The Knife of Never Letting Go is still one of my all time favourites. That's why I will keep reading his books. He doesn't care for tropes or trends he simply looks to tell an interesting and unique story. I've definitely said this before but I'd like to stress it again: I love that Patrick Ness gets creative. An interesting message but, unfortunately, it seems no amount of interesting messages can make a story about a pod of whales not boring. ![]() ![]() I thought of maybe tailoring my style to look more like those other artists, even. ![]() Honestly, when our editors first talked to me about the book, I instinctually thought of a handful of artists who would do a good (better?) job. ![]() Lauren: How do you see this particular job of illustrating a graphic novel? Because not only are you getting “direction” from me, but shit, Catwoman already existed before we came along! How do you put all that aside and find a way to dive in on your own? But it seems as if in the comic book world, there is perhaps a slightly different…starting place of assumptions, since I kind of got to tell you what to draw. As a writer, and definitely not an artist, I was trained to always, always let the artist do his/her own thing with little input/guidance from me. ![]() ![]() The triumph of this book is that it is not a tragedy. ![]() Suddenly Willow's world is tragically changed when her parents both die in a car crash, leaving her alone in a baffling world.
