Hidden Picturesby Jason Rekulak (Goodreads Author), Will Staehle (Illustrator), Doogie Horner (Illustrator)
Jason Rekulak’s innovative book features a nanny fresh from rehab, her young ward Teddy, his quickly improving drawing skills, and a kinda-maybe supernatural entity in the woods. Teddy’s good, all right. Scary good. This is the first Goodreads Choice Award for Rekulak, who formerly ran his own indie press in Philadelphia.
