However, though 'Tessa knew that she was made up of all kinds of darkness,' the story offers a hopeful resolution.' - School Library Journal, starred review'Castellucci and Powell make a powerful team, and smartly let the two different breeds breathe in different fashions.Powell's skillfully drawn counterpoint is steeped in mythological undertones, as a girl (presumably Tessa, but never named as such) with Medusa hair turns all who look upon her at home and at school to stone.' - Booklist, starred review'Castellucci (First Day on Earth) and comics artist Powell (The Silence of Our Friends) mix narrative and graphic storytelling to produce an innovative, moody story about jealousy and grief.

Highly recommended!' - Malinda Lo, author of Ash and Huntress 'Devious, chilling, and scrappy, Castellucci's Tin Star is a spacefaring thrill of a read.' - Caragh O'Brien, author of Birthmarked trilogyPraise for Year of the Beasts : 'The narrative alternates between text chapters and graphic novel panels-a unique format that perfectly complements the story.
