  At twelve-going-on-thirteen, Jude Hogan has his problems. After witnessing the tragedy that threatens to tear his parents apart, the situation a home is badly torn and perhaps beyond repair. Jude feels powerless to remedy what is at once strange and familiar.
  With his mum away and his dad barely holding things down at home, Jude is left alone to the all-too-familiar Winnipeg neighborhood streets an alleys, and what he discovers there will reshape the elements of his life.

  PRAISE FOR THE ART OF TWELVE
  Hard to say what I loved more here, the poetic telling of such an imaginative coming-of-age story or the incredible artwork that accompanies it. Either way, this deserves to become the next graphic novel classic, and I can only hope this talented team of creators will continue to collaborate for many more novels.
  – Derek Hanebury, bestselling author of Both Sides Now

  Delivers one upon a cinematic imagined memory-scape. Childhood rendered as a surrealist land of sweet sadness and perfect loneliness.
  Such brutal comfort.
  -Benjamin F. Wilson.
