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 />

Themes<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 />
