Joann Sfar and Emmanuel Guibert&#8217;s whimsical and gorgeously illustrated graphic novel <a href=\"http:\/\/www.booksense.com\/product\/info.jsp?affiliateId=ReadersResponse&#038;isbn=9781596431300\">The Professor&#8217;s Daughter<\/a> tells the story of a proper young woman, the daughter of a professor, who needs an escort on an evening out&#8211;so she brings her father&#8217;s mummy of Imhotep, a walking, talking gentleman who just happens to be a mummified king.<\/p>\n<p>When the evening ends in unexpected havoc, their situation goes from bad to worse, but in the end it brings them closer together&#8211;and reveals some very odd secrets about woman and mummy. The author and illustrator have created a witty, fantastical, and just slightly odd little world, brought to life with wash drawings that bring to mind old sepia-toned photos. This book is unique and lovely, with a rather enigmatic ending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This book is a 2007 Graphic Novel Cybils Award Nominee.
