Misako Rocks!'s Blurbs |
About me:
Misako Rocks! developed a love for comics and manga at an
early age and drew her first comic at the age of 13. She moved to New York
in 2001 and worked as a a puppeteer, face painter, animal balloon maker,
and art teacher while still developing her own work.
Her first break
came when the Onion decided to use her illustrations for their now famous
"Savage Love" column, which runs every week. Shortly thereafter,
Misako scored a two-book deal with Hyperion, a three-book deal with
Henry Holt and a writing gig for Archie comics.
Misako has been featured in many magazines and
newspapers, including Elle Girl and the New York Times. The BBC also featured her in a documentary about comic book creators. On top of that, she has recenctly received the Venic Beach, LA Playwright award!
Misako currently
lives in Brooklyn, New York and spends her free time riding her vintage bike,
making hip hop, kissing babies, shaking hands, slam dunking and eating lots of Onigiri!!!
Books by Misako Rocks!
Reviews:
"Many times, Misako Rocks has encouraged me with the phrase
'Ganbatte' - roughly translating to 'Go for it!' in Japanese.
Her characters - especially Jermain - impart this same inspiring
energy... take-charge girls that don't wimp out in the face of
adversity!" - Craig Thompson
Detective Jermain is a fresh-faced Nancy Drew for today's manga
generation, a sassy teen sleuth with multiple mysteries to solve: why
are her teachers behaving so weirdly? which of her two childhood
playmates should she choose as her boyfriend? and toughest of all,
can she become as great a detective as her ex-Dad? Misako Rocks! will
hook you with her blend of intriguing detective thriller with warm-
hearted high-school romance. - Paul Gravett
"a fast-paced and well-executed story..." - Booklist
"Manga with a heavy dose of cute...this should find a ready crowd of
action-oriented shojo fans." - Kirkus Reviews
"An appealing mix of adventure, female empowerment and romance
brought alive by Takashima's vibrant illustration" - Publishers Weekly
"It's great for younger manga readers." - School Library Journal
