Descripción: Review“A unique creative product that provides just enough footing for curious readers to explore further on their own. The palette plays a significant role here, with the brown and sepia tones of the real world replaced with dreamy jewel and inky hues, and silhouettes are used particularly effectively, creating an otherworldliness that walks the line between whimsy and menace. The blend of fantasy, gender identity, and supernatural creatures will likely please fans of Ostertag’s THE WITCH BOY.” ― The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, 03/22“The recognizable highlights of Lewis Carroll’s surreal adventure make for an excellent way into what will be unfamiliar cultural ground for many young readers. Even as this engages with several significant and timely social issues (race, gender, bullying) in an accessible way, it also opens a window to seldom explored tribal cultures.” ― Booklist, 03/15/22“A moving graphic novel that touches on identity and cultural legacy, and representation that is sure to impact young readers.” ― School Library Journal, 04/22“RABBIT CHASE is a vibrant take on the classic portal fantasy . . . [and] serves as an exciting introduction to new vocabulary and new narratives its audience is bound to enjoy.” ― Quill & Quire, 05/22"Rabbit Chase is a welcome intersectional work for today's youth." ― Traci Sorell, award-winning author of We Are Still Here! and At the Mountain's Base"This Indigenous spin on Alice in Wonderland is a powerful story of identity and the rich gifts of community and culture." ― Mary Beth Leatherdale, award-winning author and co-editor of #NotYourPrincessAnishinaabe culture and storytelling meet Alice in Wonderland in this coming-of-age graphic novel that explores Indigenous and gender issues through a fresh yet familiar looking glass.Aimée, a non-binary Anishinaabe middle-schooler, is on a class trip to offer gifts to Paayehnsag, the water spirits known to protect the land. While stories are told about the water spirits and the threat of the land being taken over for development, Aimée zones out, distracting themselves from the bullying and isolation they’ve experienced since expressing their non-binary identity. When Aimée accidentally wanders off, they are transported to an alternate dimension populated by traditional Anishinaabe figures in a story inspired by Alice in Wonderland.To gain the way back home, Aimée is called on to help Trickster by hunting down dark water spirits with guidance from Paayehnsag. On their journey, Aimée faces off with the land-grabbing Queen and her robotic guards and fights the dark water spirits against increasingly stacked odds. Illustrated by KC Oster with a modern take on their own Ojibwe style and cultural representation, Rabbit Chase is a story of self-discovery, community, and finding one’s place in the world.About the AuthorELIZABETH LaPENSÉE (she/they) is an award-winning Anishinaabe, Métis, and Irish writer and illustrator whose work appears in Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics Collection series, Deer Woman: An Anthology, and more.KC OSTER (he/she/they) is an Ojibwe-Anishinaabe comic artist and illustrator.
