Best Selling Books by Jen Wang

Stargazing is a heartwarming middle-grade graphic novel in the spirit of Frizzy and Mexikid, from New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Jen Wang. Moon is everything Christine isn''t. She’s confident, impulsive, artistic . . . and though they both grew up in the same Chinese-American suburb, Moon is somehow unlike anyone Christine has ever known. But after Moon moves in next door, these unlikely friends are soon best friends, sharing their favorite music videos and painting their toenails when Christine''s strict parents aren''t around. Moon even tells Christine her deepest secret: that she has visions, sometimes, of celestial beings who speak to her from the stars. Who reassure her that earth isn''t where she really belongs. Moon''s visions have an all-too-earthly root, however, and soon Christine''s best friend is in the hospital, fighting for her life. Can Christine be the friend Moon needs, now, when the sky is falling? Jen Wang draws on her childhood to paint a deeply personal yet wholly relatable friendship story that’s at turns joyful, heart-wrenching, and full of hope.

Ash has always felt alone. Adults ignore the climate crisis. Other kids Ash’s age are more interested in pop stars and popularity contests than in fighting for change. Even Ash’s family seems to be sleepwalking through life. The only person who ever seemed to get Ash was their Grandpa Edwin. Before he died, he used to talk about building a secret cabin, deep in the California wilderness. Did he ever build it? What if it’s still there, waiting for him to come back...or for Ash to find it? To Ash, that maybe-mythical cabin is starting to feel like the perfect place for a fresh start and an escape from the miserable feeling of alienation that haunts their daily life. But making the wilds your home isn’t easy. And as much as Ash wants to be alone...can they really be happy alone? Can they survive alone? From New York Times–bestselling author and illustrator Jen Wang comes a singularly affecting story about self-discovery, self-reliance, and the choice to live when it feels like you have no place in the world.

Jen Wang relata un cuento romántico sobre la identidad, el amor y la familia, un cuento de hadas para todas las edades que te robará el corazón. El príncipe Sebastian está buscando novia. O mejor dicho, sus padres la están buscando por él, porque Sebastian está demasiado ocupado tratando de esconder su pequeño secreto. Al príncipe lo que más le gusta es vestirse de mujer y salir a disfrutar de la noche parisina, siempre ocultando su identidad. El arma secreta de Sebastian -y también su mejor amiga- es la brillante costurera Frances, quien debe ocultar públicamente su propio oficio para evitar sospechas (y seguir trabajando en exclusiva para el príncipe). Nadie debe saber quién es ella ni qué hace cuando entra en palacio, lo que convierte su vida en un misterio para todos. Día a día, su colaboración con el príncipe aumenta casi tanto como sus mutuos sentimientos. ¿Serán capaces de encontrar la manera de disimular su relación ante la familia real o se atreverán a exponer el doble secreto?

What¡¯s to Love: No one can deny the cultural impact of Charles M. Schulz¡¯s Peanuts, and it has been a singular honor for us to be able to continue his legacy. In 2015, Peanuts celebrates its 65th anniversary, so we thought there was no better way to recognize Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the rest of the gang than to invite some of the world¡¯s best-known names in comics, children¡¯s books, comic strips, cartoons, and webcomics to come together and show their love for Schulz. What It Is: Peanuts: A Tribute to Charles M. Schulz is a giant love letter from creators new and old from comic strips to webcomics, children¡¯s books to comic books. Unprecedented at this scale, it is very rare for the Schulz estate to allow other cartoonists to illustrate the Peanuts gang in their own signature styles. This collection of original stories, pin-ups, and strips pay tribute to Schulz and the world of Peanuts, and includes contributions from Raina Telgemeier (Smile), Jen Wang (In Real Life), Patrick McDonnell (Mutts), Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo), Terry Moore (Rachel Rising), Mike Allred (Silver Surfer), Paul Pope (Battling Boy), and many more. Features an introduction by Lincoln Peirce (Big Nate).

Wang discusses the dynamics of Sino–US relations since 2008 and the implications for relations between Taiwan and both the United States and the People’s Republic of China. Ever since China surpassed Japan to become the world’s second largest economy, it has appeared to shift its policy shift from “biding our time” and a self-described “peaceful rise” toward increased assertiveness in regional and international affairs. This has only become more pronounced since the 19th Party National Congress in October 2017, when Xi Jinping reiterated his agenda for “the Chinese Dream.” In contrast, the US’s “Pivot to Asia” strategy has been widely perceived as unsuccessful. In its precarious political position between China and the United States, Taiwan is especially exposed to the fluctuations in policy and diplomatic relations between the two powers. The three bilateral relationships are intertwined, with policy changes and actions in any one of them affecting the other two. Wang emphasizes the “small power” and “disputed nation-state” perspective of Taiwan, over the “great power politics” of the United States and China. In doing so, he presents an analysis of how the changing dynamics of Sino–US relations and the great power transition in Asia have an impact on smaller stakeholders in the region. A valuable resource for scholars and policy-makers with a focus on Taiwan’s position in Sino–US relations.

This book looks at the relationship between Chinese international relations (IR) scholarship and China’s rise as a world power. Specifically, it addresses how China’s rising international status since the early 1990s has shaped the country’s IR studies, and the different ways that Chinese IR scholars are interpreting that rise. The author argues that the development of IR studies in China has been influenced by China’s past historical experiences, its recent change in status in world politics, and indigenous scholarly interpretations of both factors. Instead of treating Chinese IR scholars as value-free social scientists, the author shows how Chinese scholars—as purposive, strategic, and emotional actors—tend to manipulate existing (mostly Western) IR theories to support their policy propositions and identity statements. This book represents one of few efforts to determine how local Chinese scholars are constructing IR knowledge, how they are dealing with intersections between indigenous Chinese and imported IR theory and concepts, and how Chinese scholars are analyzing “their China” in terms of its current rise to power.

This book provides practitioners with a step-by-step guide on how to conduct efficiency analysis using the stochastic frontier approach.

Sin embargo, las visiones de Moon tienen un origen más terrenal de lo que cabría pensar, y de repente es ingresada en el hospital para una intervención quirúrgica de urgencia. ¿Podrá realmente ser Christine la amiga que Moon necesita ahora que todo se viene abajo?

Jen Wang torna al romanzo grafico con una storia allo stesso tempo delicata e tormentata. Ash sta cambiando, sente il bisogno di affermare la propria nuova identità mentre comincia a comprenderla appieno. Ash ha anche molta paura per il futuro, è in ansia per il cambiamento climatico, per come il mondo sta cambiando, e soprattutto per l’apparente indifferenza che percepisce intorno a sé. Da qualche anno ha perso il nonno, che diceva sempre di aver costruito un capanno lì dove nessuno lo avrebbe trovato, e che quello era il suo luogo felice, il suo luogo sicuro. Con la scusa di una vacanza senza adulti, con la cugina più grande, Ash si prepara meticolosamente e, insieme al suo cane Chase, cerca il capanno, senza nemmeno sapere se esista davvero, con l’intenzione di non tornare mai più nella civiltà. Capirà molto di sé, affronterà le sue paure e troverà la sua verità, dall’altro lato della paura. Una storia che parla del nostro tempo, e ci costringe a porci le domande che ci inquietano di più.

Um príncipe que gosta de usar vestidos. Uma costureira que sonha em fazer suas próprias criações e ter seu talento reconhecido. Um conto de fadas apaixonante para guardar no coração. É com o peito cheio de afeto e orgulho que a DarkSide® Books anuncia o lançamento de O Príncipe e a Costureira, de Jen Wang, obra vencedora do Eisner Award em 2019 nas categorias de melhor publicação juvenil e melhor roteirista/desenhista, além dos prêmios de melhor álbum juvenil em Angoulême 2018, e de melhor livro juvenil no Harvey 2018. Sebastian é o príncipe herdeiro da Bélgica. Ele está em busca de uma esposa — ou melhor, seus pais estão cuidando disso para ele. Sebastian, na verdade, está mais ocupado escondendo seu segredo de todos: à noite, ele coloca vestidos ousados e sai pelas ruas de Paris como a fabulosa Lady Crystallia, o ícone fashion da capital da moda. Tal façanha é graças ao belíssimo trabalho de Frances, sua melhor amiga e costureira, e uma das duas únicas pessoas que sabem a verdade. Mas Frances sonha com a grandeza e o reconhecimento, e fazer os vestidos de Lady Crystallia significa viver à sombra de um segredo para sempre... O Príncipe e a Costureira é uma história delicada e sensível. Com um traço exuberante e extremamente colorido, Jen Wang dá vida a uma dupla de adolescentes que quer viver a vida ao máximo e aproveitar cada oportunidade, e que encontra apoio um no outro em seus respectivos desafios. Além de apresentar a trajetória de Frances enquanto ela constrói sua carreira como costureira e se depara com alguns percalços na busca pelo caminho certo, Wang narra a história de um menino que por vezes se sente mais como ele mesmo usando vestidos. O Príncipe e a Costureira é uma história sobre identidade e aceitação, sobre uma amizade que acolhe e respeita sem ressalvas, e que mostra como o amor e respeito ao próximo têm muito mais força do que a intolerância. O quadrinho é mais um lançamento do selo DarkSide® Graphic Novel e chega para os leitores em um padrão de qualidade digno da realeza.
