A truly remarkable work of art that is already one of the most talked-about books of the season."Tan's lovingly laid out and masterfully rendered tale about the immigrant experience is a documentary magically told." — Art Spiegelman, author of Maus"An absolute wonder." — Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis"A magical river of strangers and their stories!" — Craig Thompson, author of Blankets"A shockingly imaginative graphic novel that captures the sense of adventure and wonder that surrounds a new arrival on the shores of a shining new city. Wordless, but with perfect narrative flow, Tan gives us a story filled with cityscapes worthy of Winsor McCay." — Jeff Smith, author of Bone"Shaun Tan's artwork creates a fantastical, hauntingly familiar atmosphere... Strange, moving, and beautiful." — Jon J. Muth, Caldecott Medal-winning author of Zen Shorts"Bravo." — Brian Selznick, Caldecott Medal-winning author of The Invention of Hugo Cabret"Magnificent." — David Small, Caldecott Medalist
