{"product_id":"stitches-9780393338966","title":"Stitches","description":"\u003cp\u003eDavid Small, a best-selling and highly regarded children's book illustrator, comes forward with this unflinching graphic memoir. Remarkable and intensely dramatic, Stitches tells the story of a fourteen-year-old boy who awakes one day from a supposedly harmless operation to discover that he has been transformed into a virtual mute--a vocal cord removed, his throat slashed and stitched together like a bloody boot. From horror to hope, Small proceeds to graphically portray an almost unbelievable descent into adolescent hell and the difficult road to physical, emotional, and artistic recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA National Book Award finalist; winner of the ALA's Alex Award; a #1 \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e graphic bestseller; \u003cem\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/em\u003e Top Ten Books of the Year, \u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e Favorite Book, ALA Great Graphic Novels, \u003cem\u003eBooklist\u003c\/em\u003e Editors Choice Award, Huffington Post Great Books of 2009, \u003cem\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e Best of 2009, \u003cem\u003eVillage Voice\u003c\/em\u003e Best Graphic Novel, finalist for two 2010 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards (Best Writer\/Artist: Nonfiction; Best Reality-Based Work).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSmall, David:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Small\u003c\/strong\u003e author of the #1 \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e best-selling \u003cem\u003eStitches\u003c\/em\u003e, is the recipient of the Caldecott Medal, the Christopher Medal, and the E.
