"A fantastic story about friendship, and a strong debut graphic novel! " - Kazu Kibuishi, #1 New York Times bestselling creator of Amulet "A beautifully drawn story of a steampunk world in the midst of tumultuous change and the friendship between two characters struggling to hide their real selves. Ru Xu's gorgeous illustrations and heartfelt writing makes NewsPrints a graphic novel I want to reread again and again. " - Faith Erin Hicks, New York Times bestselling author of The Nameless City "Blue's race to rescue Crow becomes a lesson in recognizing her own value -- something we could all stand to learn. Xu's manga-influenced art is full of movement and life , and serves as a terrific bridge for readers who love science fiction, but aren't quite ready for Fullmetal Alchemist." - Eva Volin, Children's Librarian, Alameda Free Library.
