When Edgar Met Cecil

32 pp. | Peachtree | September, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-56145-706-9 $15.95
(3) K-3 Edgar and his family are moving, and he's devastated about leaving his best friend behind. It's the old relocated-kid-has-to-make-new-friends story, with a twist: the reason everything seems "strange" to Edgar is that he's a robot now living in a land of aliens. The story succeeds thanks to Luthardt's vibrant, emotions-forward acrylics, which occasionally recall cubist paintings.
