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\n\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\u003eFavorite 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","brand":"W.
