Sheila Ruth, who blogs at Wands and Worlds, and who is in large part responsible for the success of the Cybils (she's the one who contacts publishers asking for review copies of books the panelists can't get themselves), is embarking on an effort to publish a graphic novel version of Ratha's Creature--the story of a brave and charismatic prehistoric cat. She's turned to kickstarter to help fund it--more info here.
Great list of reviews. It reminds me I want to read Goblin Secrets. So excited for Ruth!
