YOU BE YOU tells the story of a young girl ("You," in fact) venturing on a journey of discovery to paint the great canvas of her life. The blank canvas towers over the girl, so big, imposing and impossibly white; surely, the most unnerving place to start! How does she begin? Where will she find her path? And what if she makes mistakes? Along her journey, she is challenged by her mentor, the sorcerer known as Old Master Paint, and by her own monsters. She will thrive, of course, by discovering that her path forward comes from believing in herself. It's an empowering, lyrical story brought to life by extraordinary illustrations from award-winning illustrator, Rogerio Coelho. This ISBN reflects a limited SEPIA EDITION of the book.

A BBC Radio 2 Book Club Pick 'Ingenious ... touching, surprising and sometimes heartbreaking.' Guardian 'If you're itching to read a new novel by David Mitchell ... try this.' The Times _______________ In Tokyo - one of the world's largest megacities - a stray cat is wending her way through the back alleys. And, with each detour, she brushes up against the seemingly disparate lives of the city-dwellers, connecting them in unexpected ways. But the city is changing. As it does, it pushes her to the margins where she chances upon a series of apparent strangers - from a homeless man squatting in an abandoned hotel, to a shut-in hermit afraid to leave his house, to a convenience store worker searching for love. The cat orbits Tokyo's denizens, drawing them ever closer. 'Masterfully weaves together seemingly disparate threads to conjure up a vivid tapestry of Tokyo; its glory, its shame, its characters, and a calico cat.' David Peace, author of THE TOKYO TRILOGY One of the Independent's best debuts
