Gone To The Woods

A mesmerizing memoir from three-time Newbery Honor–winning author Gary Paulsen―whose books have sold over 35 million copies worldwide―giving readers a new perspective on the origins of his blockbuster contemporary classic Hatchet and other famed survival stories.

“Leaves you gritting your teeth and clutching the pages . . . Haunted me as a reader.” ―The New York Times Book Review

“This literary treasure is written for book lovers of any age.” ―Shelf Awareness, starred review

His name is synonymous with high-stakes wilderness survival adventures. Now, beloved author Gary Paulsen portrays a series of life-altering moments from his turbulent childhood as his own original survival story. If not for his summer escape from a shockingly neglectful Chicago upbringing to a North Woods homestead at age five, there never would have been a Hatchet. Without the encouragement of the librarian who handed him his first book at age thirteen, he may never have become a reader. And without his desperate teenage enlistment in the Army, he would not have discovered his true calling as a storyteller.

An entrancing and critically lauded account of grit and growing up, perfect for newcomers and lifelong fans alike, Gone to the Woods: Surviving a Lost Childhood is literary legend Gary Paulsen at his rawest and realest.

Don’t miss Gary Paulsen’s other acclaimed books from Farrar Straus Giroux Books for Young Readers: the father-son comedy How to Train Your Dad and the page-turning survival adventure Northwind.

When You Get The Chance

When You Get the Chance is a bighearted YA novel about falling in love, making a mess, and learning to let go, from Emma Lord, the New York Times bestselling author of the Reese Witherspoon YA Book Club pick You Have a Match.

Nothing will get in the way of Millie Price’s dream of becoming a Broadway star. Not her lovable but super introverted dad, who raised Millie alone since she was a baby. Not her drama club rival, Oliver, who is the very definition of Simmering Romantic Tension. And not her “Millie Moods,” the feelings of intense emotion that threaten to overwhelm. Millie needs an ally. And when an accidentally left-open browser brings Millie to her dad’s embarrassingly moody LiveJournal from 2003, Millie knows just what to do―find her mom.

But how can you find a new part of your life and expect it to fit into your old one without leaving any marks? And why is it that when you go looking for the past, it somehow keeps bringing you back to what you’ve had all along?

PRAISE FOR EMMA LORD:

"Brimming with energy, rapid-fire banter, and affectionate theater references, this memorable Mamma Mia! retelling...thoughtfully pays homage while skillfully modernizing it for today’s readers." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Chock-full of musical theater references and humor, the novel includes high-stakes emotional drama that is balanced by supportive friendships and strong, deep family connections...An entertaining personal journey with plot twists galore." - Kirkus Reviews

Fashion-obsessed Ben is eighteen and has just left his home upstate after his mother discovers his hidden stash of gay magazines. When he comes to New York City, Ben’s sexuality begins to feel less like a secret and more like a badge of honor.

Then Callum disappears, leaving Adam heartbroken, and Ben finds out his new world is more closed-minded than he thought. When Adam finally tracks Callum down, he learns the guy he loves is very ill. And in a chance meeting near the hospital where Callum is being treated, Ben and Adam meet, forever changing each other’s lives. As both begin to open their eyes to the possibilities of queer love and life, they realize sometimes the only people who can help you are the people who can really see you―in all your messy glory.

A love letter to New York and the liberating power of queer friendship, When You Call My Name is a hopeful novel about the pivotal moments of our youth that break our hearts and the people who help us put them back together.

OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS 2024 - Animation Akira Layouts & Key Frames 2

1988年に劇場公開され、漫画の域を超えアニメの世界までも革新したアニメ映画版『AKIRA』。

本書は、その制作に使用された膨大な量のレイアウト、原画、原画修正の中から、原作者にして監督をも務めた大友克洋自身の手によって描かれたものを、全3巻にまとめたものの第2巻にあたる。

レイアウトとは、アニメ本編を構成するシーンの一つ一つに必要な情報を描き込んだもので、アニメ作画の設計図となるものである。

映画全体を構成するA、B、C、Dの全4パート中の「Bパート(前巻からの続き)とCパートの序盤」の原画・レイアウトの収録に加えて、それらを基にして出来上がった、数々の名場面の貴重な複製セル画も併録。

先に刊行された「絵コンテ集」の2冊に続き、今なお先鋭的な表現の製作過程を詳らかに公開するものになっている。

各カットの背景とキャラの動きが描き込まれた「レイアウト」が、作画監督や美術監督…さらには大友監督自身の手により指示・修正されるという、徹底した工程によって構築された映画版『AKIRA』。

その妥協なき画面作りの凄さが、パラパラとページをめくるだけで1枚1枚連続して動作していく場面から体感できる、類例なき造本の一冊。

前巻と同じく、ほぼ全編がカラー印刷で、複製セル画も多数収録。

今巻は特に、ワンカット内の修正原画を多数連続して収録しており、より詳細な絵の動きを見ることができるが、これにより大友監督がこだわったキャラク

ーの動き(=演技)のディテールを、さらに理解できる構成になっている。

総ページ数は前巻超えの約710p。

なお、書名の「Layouts & Key Frames」とは「レイアウト&原画」の英語表記である。
