What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Story Spinners is an ingenious concept masterfully executed. Both kids and adults will be captivated by these characters and enthralled by the brilliantly intertwined stories. I just can’t say enough great things about this one-of-a-kind, laugh-out-loud graphic novel. Now hurry up and read it!” – Jarrett Lerner, author and illustrator of A Work in Progress
“Classic Cassandra Federman! A fantastically spun story (within a story!) that caught me in its wonderful web of heart and imagination.” – Ben Clanton, New York Times–bestselling author of the Narwhal and Jelly series
“Reading Story Spinners, I couldn’t stop thinking about my own sister. We’re so different sometimes, but in the end that just makes our stories interesting. It’s a book for anyone with a sibling who’s hard sometimes, but well worth the work. In the end it made me feel happy and warm (and want to go call my sister).” – Dana Simpson, creator of Phoebe and her Unicorn and Ozy and Millie
“Federman spins a masterful story within a story, bringing all three sisters to life through the unusual adventures of the princess pirates.” * Booklist *
“Cute and filled with the reality of sisters who don’t get along all the time, this graphic novel will appeal to fans of humorous stories with a fairy-tale spin.” * School Library Journal *
About The Author
Cassandra Federman
Cassandra Federman was born and raised in Massachusetts, where she spent her childhood reading comic books, playing action figures, drawing superheroes, and participating in all things nerdy (before that became cool). She graduated magna cum laude from Brandeis University, where she cofounded the Brandeis Comic Book Club. After college she moved to Los Angeles and worked in film and television. Over the course of her life, Cassandra has been many things—a hand model, a wrestler, a manatee rescuer, an actor, and a mystic wood elf—but her favorite so far has been a children’s book author-illustrator. Cassandra is the author-illustrator of the picture books This Is a Sea Cow and This Is a Seahorse, which received multiple starred reviews and won an ILA Children’s and Young Adults’ Book Award. She is also the author-illustrator of the graphic novel The Story Spinners.
