"Skim" is Kimberly Keiko Cameron, a not-slim, would-be Wiccan goth who goes to a private girls' school in the early '90s. When her classmate Katie Matthews is dumped by her boyfriend, who then kills himself -- possibly because he's (maybe) gay -- the entire school goes into mourning overdrive. It's a weird time to fall in love, but that's what happens to Skim when she starts meeting secretly with her neo-hippie English teacher, Ms. Archer. But then Ms. Archer abruptly leaves the school, and Skim has to cope with her confusion and isolation while her best friend, Lisa, tries to pull her into "real" life by setting up a hilarious double-date for the school's semi formal. Suicide, depression, love, homosexuality, crushes, cliques of popular, manipulative peers -- the whole gamut of teen life is explored in this poignant glimpse into the heartache of being 16.

APPEARED ON BEST OF THE YEAR LISTS FROM NPR, PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, WASHINGTON POST, VULTURE, BOOKLIST, AND MORE The cartoonist of This One Summer and SuperMutant Magic Academy explores the virtual and IRL world of contemporary women via a lens both surreal and wry Jenny becomes obsessed with a strange "mirror Facebook," which presents an alternate, possibly better, version of herself. Helen finds her clothes growing baggy, her shoes looser, and as she shrinks away to nothingness, the world around her recedes as well. The animals of the city briefly open their minds to us, and we see the world as they do. A mysterious music file surfaces on the internet and forms the basis of a utopian society–or is it a cult? Boundless is at once fantastical and realist, playfully hinting at possible transcendence: from one’s culture, one’s relationship, oneself. This collection of short stories is a showcase for the masterful blend of emotion and humour of award-winning cartoonist Jillian Tamaki.

Jillian Tamaki is best known for co-creating the award-winning young adult graphic novels Skim and This One Summer, moody and atmospheric bestsellers. SuperMutant Magic Academy, which Jillian has been serializing online for the past four years, deftly plays superhero and highhool Hollywood tropes against what adolescence is really like: the SuperMutant Magic Academy is a prep-school for mutants and witches but their paranormal abilities take a back seat to everyday teen concerns. This volume combines the most popular content from the webcomic with a selection of all-new, never-before-seen strips that conclude Jillian's account of life at the Academy.

The stellar team behind "Skim" redefine the teen graphic novel with this gorgeous, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful coming-of-age story about a girl and her best friend who experience a summer of secrets and sorrows.

Posledným románom vydaným počas života je príbeh o krásnej, vzdelanej a bohatej aristokratke Emme, ktorá sa z nudy rozhodne nájsť vhodnú partiu pre chudobnú dievčinu Harriet. Na začiatku 19. storočia je totiž manželstvo so zámožným mužom jednou z mála záruk šťastnej budúcnosti. Kniha čitateľom odhaľuje svet vidieckych bálov, krásnych žien a bohatých mužov, ale aj nerovnosti spoločenských vrstiev, klebiet, intríg a prekážok v láske. Hlavná postava počas deja prichádza na to, že nie je možné ľuďmi manipulovať podľa vlastných predstáv. Prostredníctvom hľadania vhodného muža pre svoju chránenkyňu je konfrontovaná s vlastnou pýchou a prehnaným sebavedomím, ktoré jej takmer znemožnia nájsť vlastné šťastie v podobe životnej lásky Georgea Knightleyho. Aj napriek mnohým ľúbostným zvratom sa príbeh Emmy aj chudobného dievčaťa končí happy endom. Románu Emma bola venovaná aj filmová podoba – v americkej verzii stvárnila hlavnú úlohu Gwyneth Paltrow, v britskej Kate Beckinsale.

Melanie Tamaki is an outsider. She is unpopular at school. At home, she has had to learn to take care of herself. Everything changes the day she returns home to find her mother is missing.
