NARRATIVE INK
MEDUSA'S DAUGHTER GN
by Fuqua & Parke
Fifteen-year-old Maia Vitikos is told she's gifted — or cursed — with abilities
frighteningly similar to those of the snake-haired Gorgons from her supposed
country of origin, Greece. Stolen from, or given away by, her parents (she's not
sure), Maia is adopted by a sideshow huckster named Rictus Finch who enslaves
her. Called “Medusa’s Daughter” and thrown in with other “eerie people,” she
becomes the carnival's main attraction, drawing crowds as it travels from one
small Eastern European town to another. Beautifully illustrated, Medusa’s
Daughter blends dark fantasy, a rich narrative, and memorable characters in a
compelling coming-of-age tale. (C: 0-1-2)

MEDUSA'S DAUGHTER: A GRAPHIC NOVELLA
by Fuqua & Parke
Maia spends her days hidden inside her trailer or wandering the sideshow
community — alienated from others by her sensitivity, latent intelligence, and
the freakish talent she has for controlling her hair. Moreover, Maia has grown
up wondering who her parents are and if, indeed, they were as horribly ashamed
of her as she has been told. As if Maia didn't have enough to think about,
Rictus Finch has made her believe herself a monster, dredged up and spit out by
the past. This version of Maia’s story compacts her experiences for maximum
dramatic effect. (C: 0-1-2)

O/A GLACIAL PERIOD GN
by Nicolas De Crecy
De Crecy, at the sight of the incredible richness of the museum’s collection,
was overwhelmed and felt small and ignorant. The result is a story set thousands
of years hence in a glacial period where all human history has been forgotten
and a small group of archeologists fall upon the Louvre, buried in age-old snow.
They cannot begin to explain all the artifacts they see. What could they have
meant? Their interpretations are nonsense, absurd, and farcical.

O/A SILK ROAD TO RUIN HC
by Ted Rall
Part graphic novel travelogue, part tongue-in-cheek travel guide, here are the
adventures of caustic cartoonist Rall in the wild and wooly central Asian
countries; a powder keg sitting on tomorrow's oil. Combining articles with
comics chapters, this volume relates his experiences re-tracing the old
legendary Silk Road starting with the sublime history of China and ending in the
absurdity of the petty dictatorships of the “The Stans” where Rall had the
temerity — or was it blustery stupidity? — to go back, including once with a
group of listeners to his radio show, on a dare. It’s exotic adventure, satire
and a fun way to find out more about a part of the world that looms in
importance with its immense reserves of oil.
