"This is a unique book, one that will speak directly to any teenager - indeed anyone of any age - interested in seeing the world as it is,
the better to find ways to improve it."

author of The Diary of a Teenage Girl and A Child's Life
(from the foreword)

9 of 1:
A Window to the World

Called a "comics expert" by the San Jose Mercury News,
Oliver Chin creates a compelling blend of fact and fiction where a high school class (based in the San Francisco Bay area) grapples with the aftershocks of the catastrophe of 9/11.

But their 11th-grade US history teacher challenges his students to move forward. Can the next generation sort out a world, growing smaller by the day but yet more divided?

Through the eyes of nine students come the disparate yet earnest voices of a multi-cultural world.

"The narration is a flowing entity, shifting from one voice to another to another, throughout the whole issue, and that unusual approach is reflected in the artwork and layout as well...it reminded me of the unconventional approach one finds in Scott McCloud's
Understanding Comics and Reinventing Comics..."
- TheFourthRail.com

"[9 of 1] is notable for its lofty societal aspirations and for going
where few American comics have gone."
- Tony Isabella, Comics Buyer's Guide
