She also published a children’s picture book called “Leave Me Alone!” in 2016 and has worked in various capacities on animated movies such as Neil Gaiman’s “Coraline” (story board artist) and the Academy Award nominated 3D stop-motion feature “The Boxtrolls,” for which she is credited with additional writing. Published in 2011, the book was well received by fans and critics alike, winning multiple awards, including a Harvey and Eisner. Russian American animator and cartoonist Vera Brosgol is probably best known for her debut graphic novel “Anya’s Ghost,” the story of a supernatural friendship between two teen girls that features the weighty themes unrequited love and murder. And nothing could prepare her for all the “cool girl” drama, endless Russian history lessons, and outhouses straight out of nightmares! Vera’s single mother can’t afford that sort of luxury, but there’s one summer camp in her price range-Russian summer camp. Vera is sure she’s found the one place she can fit in, but camp is far from what she imagined. Her friends live in fancy houses and their parents can afford to send them to the best summer camps. All Vera wants to do is fit in-but that’s not easy for a Russian girl in the suburbs.
