2012 in review

I guess I should really post more on this blog. 🙂

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The new Boeing 787 Dreamliner can carry about 250 passengers. This blog was viewed about 1,300 times in 2012. If it were a Dreamliner, it would take about 5 trips to carry that many people.

Article about using graphic novels in the classroom

An article about using graphic novels in local classroom, with Gone Case used as an example, is in the latest BiblioAsia (Vol 7, Issue 4, March 2012). You can pick up a copy at the library or get it here as a PDF download. An intriguing exercise and one we hope will be repeated in schools throughout Singapore.

Magical Harkow review of Gone Case GN Book 1

The Magical Harkow posted a very nice and moving review of the book. You can read it here.

“The comic is the most accurate depiction of life growing up in a middle-class Chinese Singaporean background that I’ve ever seen.”

The book is being reordered!

Reorders have started to come in for the graphic novel. Really great to hear. We’ve been quite moved by reviews and comments of the book, and we’re starting work on Book 2. Should you buy the novel to find out how it ends? Well I won’t stop you..
