Synopsis
Synopsis
It is 1595, and the rabbi’s son Jacob is frustrated with having to live in the walled ghetto known as Jewish Town. Why can’t he venture outside of the gates and explore the beautiful city? His father warns him that Passover is a dangerous time to be a Jew and that the people from outside accuse the Jews of dreadful deeds. But one night, Jacob follows his father and two companions as they unlock the ghetto gates and proceed to the river, where they mold a human shape from the mud of the riverbank. When the rabbi speaks strange words, the shape is infused with life and the Golem of Prague is born.In this breathtaking retelling of a timeless tale, Irene N. Watts’s beautiful words are complemented by the haunting black-and-white images of artist Kathryn E. Shoemaker.

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.”
