Mr. Mendoza's Paintbrush

(2) YA Illustrated by Christopher Cardinale. Urrea's previously published short story about artist Mendoza, with its vividly descriptive prose, has been superbly adapted as a graphic novel by Cardinale. Not only does the art perfectly capture the mood of the piece--from the blocky woodcuts to the muted earth tones--but it also reinforces the lucid dreamlike quality of its magical realism, serving as an enticing invitation to further explore the genre.
