Kyle and his mother, with Kyles cat, Tingy, had arrived in India from San Francisco over a year ago. He soon met a boy named Rahip. They became very good friends. Kyle and his friend were interested in finding a certain Marble. They were lead to believe that some Marbles were mystical with powers beyond imagination. Kyle and Rahip were on a journey through enjoyment and uncertainties, while they continued to seek the four mystical marbles. Kyle had left his friends back home, but now had found new friends in places Kyle would never imagine, like those who live under the city, whose name is Dabadaman. Rahip and Kyle in seeking the marbles end up going to special places, through jungles, where they meet animals who are able to speak in human language, known to them as "Animalise". They also asked Kyle and Rahip to ride on their backs so it is faster to get to where they wish to go. The boys risk their lives trying to save many animals as well as meeting strange people who also seek the mystical marbles and go to great lengths to find them.

Cartoonist Ellen Forney explores the relationship between “crazy” and “creative” in this graphic memoir of her bipolar disorder, woven with stories of famous bipolar artists and writers. Shortly before her thirtieth birthday, Forney was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Flagrantly manic and terrified that medications would cause her to lose creativity, she began a years-long struggle to find mental stability while retaining her passions and creativity. Searching to make sense of the popular concept of the crazy artist, she finds inspiration from the lives and work of other artists and writers who suffered from mood disorders, including Vincent van Gogh, Georgia O’Keeffe, William Styron, and Sylvia Plath. She also researches the clinical aspects of bipolar disorder, including the strengths and limitations of various treatments and medications, and what studies tell us about the conundrum of attempting to “cure” an otherwise brilliant mind. Darkly funny and intensely personal, Forney’s memoir provides a visceral glimpse into the effects of a mood disorder on an artist’s work, as she shares her own story through bold black-and-white images and evocative prose.
