Calvin by Martine Leavitt
- Winner of the 2016 Governor General’s Award (Young People’s Literature – Text)
- Beautiful, engaging, quirky, lyrical little novel(la) which de-mystifies and de-stigmatises perhaps the most dreaded teen onset mental illness we have to deal with, schizophrenia.
- For those of us who grew up on Calvin and Hobbes, it’s a journey back to our youth.
- For contemporary teens it still works.
- Darkly tragi-comic, yet ultimately hopeful.
- A must read book.
