Product Information
Subverting convention, award-winning creators M. T. Anderson and Eugene Yelchin pair up for an anarchic, outlandish, and deeply political saga of warring elf and goblin kingdoms. Uptight elfin historian Brangwain Spurge is on a mission: survive being catapulted across the mountains into goblin territory, deliver a priceless peace offering to their mysterious dark lord, and spy on the goblin kingdom -- from which no elf has returned alive in more than a hundred years. Brangwain's host, the goblin archivist Werfel, is delighted to show Brangwain around. They should be the best of friends, but a series of extraordinary double crosses, blunders, and cultural misunderstandings throws these two bumbling scholars into the middle of an international crisis that may spell death for them -- and war for their nations. Witty mixed media illustrations show Brangwain's furtive missives back to the elf kingdom, while Werfel's determinedly unbiased narrative tells an entirely different story. A hilarious and biting social commentary that could only come from the likes of National Book Award winner M. T. Anderson and Newbery Honoree Eugene Yelchin, this tale is rife with thrilling action and visual humor . . . and a comic disparity that suggests the ultimate victor in a war is perhaps not who won the battles, but who gets to write the history.

Reviews
The book, which is on this year''s National Book Award long list, is at times both moving and hilarious. Spurge is not just an unlikely hero -- it''s hard to know if he''s a hero at all. But that only makes the finale of this political satire all the more surprising. --The New York Times Book Review Anderson''s latest foray into middle-grade fantasy is executed with the all smarts and finesse his fans have come to expect. Joining him on this storytelling adventure is Yelchin...Yelchin''s black pen-and-ink illustrations, in Medieval style, capture the humor and fantastical details of the text, as well as Brangwain''s changing view of goblins. Biting and hysterical, Brangwain and Werfel''s adventure is one for the history books. --Booklist (starred review) Together, Anderson and Yelchin craft something that feels impossible, a successfully unorthodox epistolary, pictorial, and prose narrative that interrogates the cultural ramifications of unchallenged viewpoints and the government violence they abet even as it recounts the comedic blunderings of a spy mission gone wrong. Monty Python teams up with Maxwell Smart for a wrestling match with Tolkien--splendid. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) With the look and feel of medieval lithographs, they include touches of humor, whimsy, irony, and menace; as such, they are well suited to both the acerbic wit and the affecting tenderness of Anderson''s prose. The result is a fantasy that couldn''t feel more real, obliquely referencing a political climate marked by a lack of civility, underhanded diplomacy, fake news, widespread bigotry and prejudice, and the dehumanization of marginalized people. --The Horn Book (starred review) Told in narrative and illustrated pages--Werfel''s experiences and Spurge''s visual dispatches back home--the story by Anderson ( Feed ) and Yelchin ( Arcady''s Goal ) blends the absurd and the timely to explore commonality, long-standing conflict, and who gets to write a world''s history. --Publishers Weekly (starred review) The satirical tone is reminiscent of Lemony Snicket''s "A Series of Unfortunate Events," while the format is similar in concept to Brian Selznick''s work; Yelchin''s black-and-white ink drawings reveal the viewpoint of the visiting Elfin historian, contrasted with the text descriptions from Werfel''s viewpoint. A relevant...message on the importance of perspective and finding common ground. A good choice for most middle grade shelves. --School Library Journal This comic spy story addresses prejudice and cultural misunderstandings in a unique way, and could complement both historical and political discussions in the classroom. --School Library Connection A brilliant, satirical take on cultural chauvinism, objectivity and war and peace, The Assassination of Brangwain Spurge is witty, wise and wondrously unique. --BookPage [A] smart and smarting history with its consequential warning: Truthfully recall the past to change the future. --San Francisco Chronicle This beautifully crafted, thrilling fantasy entertains even as it offers a powerful lesson about national narratives, the power of myth and the difficulty of acknowledging "the other." A perfect novel for our times. --Buffalo News All I can say is that it''s a book for our time. An unreliable visual narrator. A Cold War, Middle Earth, buddy comedy. Art that looks like the lovechild of Hieronymus Bosch and Terry Gilliam. You know. One of those. --A Fuse #8 Production (blog) "Anderson and Yelchin''s fable of goblins, elves, and the cultural brouhahas that put their respective nations on a war footing is accessible, darkly comic, and rewarding." --Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked "What a fun wild crazy smart gorgeous book! And oh! that art -- insanely beautiful." --Jon Scieszka, first U.S. National Ambassador for Young People''s Literature, The book, which is on this year's National Book Award long list, is at times both moving and hilarious.
