Praise for Clay Man: The Golem of Prague…

Praise for Good-Bye Marianne: The Graphic Novel:
“Shoemaker’s style is gentle, quiet, shaded, and soft-edged. She filters the horrors, thus allowing some access to this world to quite young readers…. The particular appeal of Marianne’s story is that the ordinary woes of childhood — loneliness, boredom, betrayal by a friend — are in the foreground. In its graphic novel incarnation, the story retains this familiarity and welcomes a new crop of readers.”
