Words and pictures by Lesley Fairfield<br />

“Do I know you?”<br />

“You’ve always known me, silly ... I’m Tyranny, your other self. I<br />

keep you thin.”<br />

One day, horrified by her reflection in the mirror, Anna makes a<br />

life-changing decision – that food is the enemy. Her obsession<br />

with being thin and beautiful will now dominate her every<br />

waking and sleeping hour. Should she falter or show any signs<br />

of weakness, Tyranny, her inner voice of “reason” will be only too<br />

willing to push her back into line.<br />

In this stark portrayal of a young woman’s struggle with<br />

anorexia, Lesley Fairfield draws on her own experiences of an<br />

eating disorder to give a powerful and candid story of hope and<br />

survival.<br />

“Fairfield treats this important subject with intelligence and<br />

empathy … Tyranny is so important that both younger and older<br />

teens will benefit from reading it. Every public and school library<br />

should own at least one copy of this amazing book.”<br />

SALEM BROWNSTONE<br />

All Along the Watchtowers<br />

Words by John Dunning • Pictures by Nikhil Singh<br />

After a boy at school takes his own life, teen-witch Skim’s fragile world seems to topple and<br />

turn upside down too. In witty, moving and painfully honest diary entries Skim confides the<br />

frenzy of grief that surrounds her, while deep down she struggles with her own loneliness<br />

and the secret inner stirrings she feels when falling in love for the first time.<br />

“Writer Mariko and artist Jillian stunningly intertwine their acute dialogues and visual riches in brush,<br />

soft pencil and grey tones, illuminating this adolescent romance in all its conflicted depths. The most<br />

sophisticated and sensitive North American graphic novel debut of the year.” Paul Gravett<br />

“With honesty and compassion, this innovative narrative communicates a life just beginning, open<br />

and full of possibility.” Horn Book Magazine<br />

Mariko Tamaki is a Toronto-based writer, performer and playwright. She is a columnist for<br />

Kiss Machine and the author of Cover Me, True Lies: A Book of Bad Advice and Fake ID.<br />

Jillian Tamaki grew up in Alberta and currently lives and works in New York, where her<br />

her editorial illustrations, including a National Magazine Award, and her work has appeared<br />

Themes<br />

• Secondary<br />

• Supernatural<br />

• Mystery/Thriller<br />

• Magic<br />

As he twists the key and slowly creeps into the grand gothic mansion left to him in his father’s will, dapper young Salem’s life<br />

takes a decidedly unusual turn. Aside from the money and house, his father’s legacy reveals an unfinished battle with creatures<br />

from a world beyond ours. Immediately thrown into the sinister conflict, Salem must make contact with his guardian familiar and<br />

get help from the exotic performers of Dr Kinoshita’s Circus of Unearthly Delights, if he is to ward off the evil spirits and avoid the<br />

tragic fate of his father.<br />

In this sumptuous graphic novel, evocative of Edward Gorey and Aubrey Beardsley, Dunning’s sharp, surprising and strange tale,<br />

coupled with Singh’s intense and imaginative illustrations create a thrilling and magical alchemy on the page.<br />
