Writer and illustrator Alex Schumacher takes a look at growing up in The Effects of Pickled Herring from Mango Press.
As he and his sister Alana prepare for their B’nai Mitzvah, twelve-year-old Micah Gadsky and his whole family feel the world shifting beneath their feet when they learn a heartbreaking truth about his grandmother. The stress of the season leads Micah’s introspective nature and Alana’s outgoing disposition to collide, creating division and discord at a time when the family needs each other most. Before Micah can become a man, he must brave the storms of grief, confront the complexities of growing up, and ultimately, learn to lean on love when life trips him up.
The Effects of Pickled Herring, a YA Graphic Novel, is scheduled to arrive on March 26, 2024.
