2008 Best Book for Young Adults


The Arrival by Shaun Tan


Many sepia toned drawings tell the story of a man who leaves his family and home to make a build a better future for his family. This book has no text just pictures so the story is told entirely through beautiful drawings. The man leaving his family, boarding an oversize ship, arriving at a new place, and meeting new people are just some of the experiences that this man is going through. It's hard to read a book without any text but this drawing and pictures did not fail to get the story across to its readers. This is a wonderful "read"!
