Julia D and the Mystery Novel

The latest from CG resident illustrator Julia Denos is here! Julia's distinctively dazzling art graces the cover of new title Marley Z and the Bloodstained Violin, a middle grade mystery by Jim Fusilli. Blending the genres of girl detective story (a la Nancy Drew, Sammy Keyes, or Veronica Mars) and art caper, Marley Z features an intrepid eighth grader who's determined to clear a friend accused of stealing a valuable violin.

Head over to Julia's blog to see illustrations from her upcoming picture book collaboration with singer Tim McGraw and leave her some love.
