n the rereleased edition of Trout of the World, fans of James Prosek’s unique painting talent will revel in the addition of 30 new fish paintings and a newly penned preface.

First released in 2003, Trout of the World features original watercolours of trout from

around the world, ranging from the Oxus trout of eastern Afghanistan to the small golden brown trout of British chalk streams. Each unique painting is coupled with a historical profile of the fish, as well as personal reflections from the author. Prosek savours the beauty of various fishing spots, along with the fate of the species, contemplating man’s role in the extinction of animals. Both sensitive and informative, Trout of the World is a must for the library of the recreational fisherman as ichthyologist.

James Prosek wrote his first bestselling book, Trout: An Illustrated History, while he was an undergraduate at Yale. Since then he has illustrated and penned 10 more, including The Complete Angler, Early Love, Brook Trout and Eels.

he Fashion Insiders’ Guides are carefully curated compendiums of the current hotspots, classic haunts and hidden gems of

the world’s greatest fashion destinations. A former Parisian living in

New York, French Vogue correspondent Carole Sabas was often approached by friends and colleagues on their way to Paris for Fashion Week, looking for the best place for a quick facial, early morning yoga or to meet a friend for a drink. So many people asked, in fact, that she produced a small guide filled with advice, which she gave out for free.

Requests for more information and other cities came pouring in.

Abrams is now making Sabas’ Paris and New York guides available to everyone, with expanded content including chapters such as ‘Eating and Drinking’, ‘Beauty’, ‘Health’, ‘Shopping’, ‘Art’ and an eclectic selection of odds and ends called ‘Might Be Useful One Day’. Written with a light touch and in a friendly tone, each entry includes a description of the recommended spots with hints about when to go, who to ask for and what to get, as well as location and contact information. The inclusion of additional advice from local fashion celebrities on their favourite places to frequent puts readers confidently in-the-know. Peppered throughout with drawings by a noted and local fashion illustrator, these beautifully designed guides will be the must-have accessories of the season.

Carole Sabas was born in Marseilles, France, and has worked as French Vogue’s New York correspondent for the past five years.

n 1997, as George Lucas worked to complete early drafts for Star Wars:

Episode I The Phantom Menace, he enlisted the talents of some of the

greatest storyboard artists of the modern era to illustrate conceptual storyboards that would inform the development of the final shooting script, as well as the finished film. Working from Lucas’s ideas for scenes

and sequences, these artists produced beautiful drawings that helped lay the foundations for the worlds, characters and shots of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. Together, these conceptual storyboards show early takes on favourite scenes; alternate, unused approaches to character designs and environments and entirely different approaches to key moments. Like wordless comic books, they have an energy and rhythm all their own that is fascinating to explore.

Now, for the first time, Lucasfilm has opened its archives to present the complete conceptual storyboards for Episodes I, II and III. Star Wars Storyboards: The Prequel Trilogy collects the best storyboards from all three films together in one striking volume, along with relevant

hen you think you live in a Norman Rockwell painting

– married 18 years, three kids, beautiful old house in

the country, successful career as a writer – you don’t expect there’s another side to the canvas. Until you read a lovesick

e-mail to your husband . . . that didn’t come from you!

Good Riddance is an honest and funny graphic memoir about suffering through and surviving divorce. Cynthia Copeland chronicles the deep pain, confusion, awkwardness and breakthroughs she experiences in the ‘new normal’ as a wife who’s been deceived, a mum who’s now single, a divorcée who’s dating and a woman who’s on her own figuring out what she truly wants from her life. Copeland tells her story with an emotional candor and spot-on humour that makes Good Riddance poignant, painful and hilarious all at once.

Cynthia Copeland is the author of several humourous books on parenting, including The Diaper Diaries, Fun on the Run and Really Important Stuff My Kids Have Taught Me.

WHY KN T? How to Tie More than Sixty Ingenious, Useful, Beautiful, Lifesaving, Magical, Intriguing, and Secure Knots!

O

n August 7, 1974, Philippe Petit stepped out on a wire illegally rigged between the New

York World Trade Center’s twin towers, where he performed for nearly an hour. During this history-making walk, and many others throughout his celebrated career, knots have always been indispensable components – the guardian angels protecting his life in the sky.

After years of hands-on research, Philippe presents Why Knot?, a guide to tying his essential knots. Philippe’s own practical sketches illustrate original methods and clear, clever tying instructions.

Photographs in which special knots were used during spectacular high-wire walks, quirky knot trivia, personal anecdotes, helpful tips, magic tricks and special tying challenges ensure that, if you’re not already nuts for knots, Petit will transform you into a knot aficionado.

Philippe Petit has been artist-in-residence of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine for more than 30 years and has performed on the high wire more than 80 times around the world. He also street juggles, lectures and practises magic. He is the author of several books, including To Reach the Clouds (Man on Wire). In 2011, he performed his one-man show Wireless!, and in 2012, he was selected as a TED speaker and he recently finished Cheating the Impossible, the first TED multimedia book..

It’s a busy day on the building site, and these industrious mice are up to something big! But what are they working on? Bold, colourful illustrations and recognisable vehicles with moving parts add to the fun, with hidden clues for the careful observer. Is that red paint . . . or red sauce? Is that a construction pit . . . or a drain? Children will delight in guessing their way to the end, when the final spread reveals a carefully constructed surprise. It's favourite vehicles meet lunchtime and bathtime in these novelty board books with interactive mechanisms.

In cut-paper artist Nikki McClure’s latest picture book, a kitten practises the basics of feline behavior over the course of a day. A single word of text per spread teaches readers 'how to be a cat' – how to stretch, clean, pounce, feast – while the striking paper cuts illustrate the kitten’s attempts to imitate an adult cat’s mastery of each skill. At times the kitten triumphantly succeeds, and at other times the kitten struggles, in vignettes that range from whimsical to profound.

A celebration of all things feline, How to Be a Cat also tells a universal story of mastering life skills, and of the sometimes tender, sometimes stern relationship between parent and child, teacher and pupil. Cat lovers of all ages will connect to this loving portrayal of a mentor-student relationship.

Nikki McClure is a self-taught cut-paper artist known for her calendar and gift line. She is the author and illustrator of Collect Raindrops; Mama, Is It Summer Yet?; To Market, to Market and Apple and the illustrator of All in a Day, written by Cynthia Rylant. Visit nikkimcclure.com.

She sticks close to her mama so she can sing songs to her sibling-to-be (loudly, of course) and explain all the great things waiting in the outside world (cupcakes! strawberries! swimming!). Quaint line drawings and lovely patterns lend a breezy, lighthearted atmosphere to the story, and a variety of playful flaps add gentle humour, showing the new baby blissfully tucked away in its mama’s belly. A joyful and celebratory ode to the growing family for any sister- or brother-to-be.

ALSO AVAIL AB LE With her signature warmth and lyricism, Newbery winner Cynthia Rylant has crafted a new version of the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale about a tin soldier who falls in love with a ballerina.

As in the original story, the tin soldier’s love for the beautiful ballerina is thwarted by a goblin. The tin soldier is separated from the other toys and washed down a sewer, where he encounters a rat and gets swallowed by a fish, but somehow, against all odds, he manages to end up back home only to be cast into the nursery fire. Rylant adds her own twist to the end of the tale, however, for in this version, the tin soldier and the ballerina are melded to each other, rather than melted, in the heat of the fire, so they’ll

An excerpt from

It took me six years to get my black belt.

Two fifty-five-minute classes every Monday and Wednesday after school, plus Friday night sparring and Saturday morning demo-team practice. Two belt tests per year, spring and fall, like a pendulum swinging ever higher.

I memorized the colors, chanted them to myself in bed at night. The walls of the dojang were white except for a section at the front of the room where a brightly painted ladder, one fat brick per color, reached up to the ceiling. As if I’d ever forget.

White belt, yellow belt, orange belt, purple belt, green belt, light blue belt, dark blue belt, red belt, red with black stripe, brown belt, brown with black stripe, black belt.

And guess what black is? Hint: it’s not the end. It’s not the highest level, not even close. Black belt means now you get to start. Now you get to learn martial arts. You’re back at the beginning: first degree. There are twelve degrees, and each one takes years and years to achieve, maybe even a decade. Only like five people in the world are twelfth-degree black belts, and they’re ancient and live on top of mountains and stuff.

My black belt wasn’t the end, and it wasn’t the beginning.

It doesn’t represent six years of hard work, constant practice, anxiety attacks on test day, stacks of certificates, a cabinet full of trophies, sweat, pain, and elation—or Friday nights spent sparring while my friends went to the movies.

My black belt represents everything I could’ve done and everything I didn’t do, the only time it really mattered.

From ‘In the Shadow of Blackbirds’ A sneeze erupted in the seat in front of me.

My eyes flew wide open. All heads whipped toward a skinny redheaded woman, who

sneezed again. My lips parted to utter a taboo word—Gesundheit—but I quickly clamped

them together.

“My wife has allergies!” said the woman’s companion, a man with thick, mashed potato

swirls of white hair. He scooted closer to his wife and tightened her mask. “It’s not the flu.

Stop looking at her that way.”

The watchful stares continued.

At that moment, the train jerked into motion, knocking us all temporarily off balance.

The whistle’s cry evaporated into the October mist. I gazed at the brick buildings passing

by the window, followed by bursts of red and amber trees that offered small reminders of

what I’d miss most about Portland. Autumn had always been my favorite season, with the smells of burning leaves and mulling spices and the arrival of bright orange pumpkins in

my father’s grocery store.

Rain soon drummed against the window.

Everything outside turned to gray.

Everyone around me sat stone-still with straight backs, stinking of folk remedies. The

stench of my neighbor’s medicine pouch and someone’s garlic-scented gum were strong enough for me to taste through the four-ply barrier of my mask. The wheels of the train

click-clacked, click-clacked, click-clacked over the lack of conversation.

Was I dreaming? Here was a horrific, fantastical society in which people’s faces

contained only eyes, millions of healthy young adults and children dropped dead from

the flu, boys got transported out of the country to be blown to bits, and the government arrested citizens for speaking the wrong words. Such a place couldn’t be real.

But it was.

This sweet, funny novel follows fifth-grader Genie Kunkle through a tumultuous year. From the first day of school, Genie knows there will be good, bad and in-between. The good? She’s in homeroom with her best friend, Sarah. The bad? Sarah’s friend from camp, Blair, is a new student at their school, and is itching to take Genie’s place as Sarah’s BFF. The in-between? Genie is excited to be elected to write her class’s blog, where she’s tasked with tracking the wishes and dreams of her class. But expressing her opinion in public can be scary – especially when her opinion might make the rest of her class upset.

Elisabeth Dahl authentically captures the ups and downs of a tween girl’s life, and the dramas – both little and big – that fill the scary transition between childhood and adolescence.

Elisabeth Dahl writes for both children and adults. All her life, people have asked whether she is related to Roald Dahl. Sadly, she’s not, but she’s looking forward to being his shelf neighbour with her first novel. Visit her online at elisabethdahl.com.

For years, the frogs of the Amphibilands have lived in safety – protected by an elite group of poisonous frogs named the Kulipari and by the dreamcasting spell of the turtle king that cloaks their lands in

9 781419 701726

mystery. Now the spell is threatened by the Spider Queen, a talented spellcaster, and Lord Marmoo, leader of the scorpions. With the Kulipari off training in secret, the Amphibilands have never been so vulnerable. Enter Darel, a young frog who dreams of joining the Kulipari, despite his utter lack of poison and limited fighting skills. With the help of a motley crew of friends, Darel has the chance to become the warrior of his dreams.

Cool animals, thrilling action and a bit of natural science – this novel, illustrated in full colour by acclaimed comics artist Sanford Greene, is sure to be a major hit with boys.

■■ Steampunk – a grafting of Victorian aesthetic and punk-rock attitude onto various forms of science-fiction culture – is a phenomenon that has come to influence film, literature, art, music, fashion and more. Based on the ultimate manual, Abrams’ The Steampunk Bible, this intriguing 16-month calendar offers readers a wild ride through the clockwork corridors of a strangely marvelous and very contemporary movement.
