{"product_id":"new-school-dash-shaw-9781606996447","title":"New School","description":"In this brand new graphic novel from the acclaimed author of \u003cem\u003eBottomless Belly Button\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBodyWorld\u003c\/em\u003e, Dash Shaw dramatizes the story of a boy moving to an exotic country and his infatuation with an unfamiliar culture that quickly shifts to disillusionment. A sense of \"being different\" grows to alienation, until he angrily blames this once-enchanting land for his feelings of isolation. All of this is told through the fantastical eyes of young Danny, a boy growing up in the '90s fed on dramatic adventure stories like \u003cem\u003eJurassic Park\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eX-Men\u003c\/em\u003e. Danny's older brother, Luke, travels to a remote island to teach English to the employees of ClockWorld, an ambitious new amusement park that recreates historical events. When Luke doesn't return after two years, Danny travels to ClockWorld to convince Luke to return to America. But Luke has made a new life, new family, and even a new personality for himself on ClockWorld, rendering him almost unrecognizable to his own brother. Danny comes of age as he explores the island, ClockWorld, and fights to bring his brother home. \u003cem\u003eNew School\u003c\/em\u003e is unlike anything in the history of the comics medium: at once funny and deadly serious, easily readable while wildly artistic, personal and political, familiar and completely new.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dash Shaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606996444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606996447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.30h x 8.77w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/06\/2013","brand":"Dash Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46795392123135,"sku":"9781606996447","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ee0d14e-5710-4259-a06a-7e04e8c9fff9.jpg?v=1744947460","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-school-dash-shaw-9781606996447","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
