Publisher Update: Continuum is now part of Bloomsbury Academic and we continue to represent them.

After Bloomsbury Publishing Plc bought Continuum in 2011, the new parent company has merged Continuum into their Bloomsbury Academic imprint for the Fall 2012 season. We continue to represent Continuum as well as taking on responsibility for the larger Bloomsbury Academic imprint - now distributed fully by Macmillan Publishing Services here in the US. (Information on ordering through MPS can be found here.)

UPDATE: More changes at Bloomsbury Academic: last month, they also announced the purchase of Applied Visual Arts Publishing - to be integrated into Bloomsbury Academic closer to the end of 2012.

Fall 12 Preview – Little White Duck: A Childhood In China (Lerner / Graphic Universe)

Over on my3books, I've posted the first of (hopefully many) previews of some of my favorite upcoming titles from our publishers and other publishers, as well.

Little White Duck: A Childhood in China
story by Na Liu & Andrés Vera Martínez
illustrated by Andrés Vera Martínez
Lerner / Graphic Universe | 9780761381150 | $9.95 | Oct 2012

It's a terrific graphic memoir, based directly on the memories of author Na Liu, one of two sisters growing up in China in the mid to late 1970s.

It has already received a starred review from Kirkus.
