Jonathan Auxier
The young-adult novel, Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes (Amulet, $16.95), is Jonathan Auxier's tale of a ten-year-old blind orphan who has been schooled in a life of thievery. One fateful afternoon, he steals a box from a mysterious traveling haberdasher — a box that contains three pairs of magical eyes, which will lead him on a dangerous quest.
Matt Phelan
Around the World (Candlewick Press, $24.99) is Matt Phelan's account of three turn-of-the nineteenth-century adventurers' attempt to circumnavigate the globe by any means possible, including a bicycle--the kind with a big front wheel! Matt Phelan is the author-illustrator of the highly acclaimed and award-winning graphic novel, The Storm in the Barn. He is also the illustrator of many books for young readers, including Always and I'll be There by Ann Stott and The Higher Power of Lucky by Susan Patron, winner of the 2007 Newbery Medal.
