About This Book
A fourteen-year-old boy lives on his own in Tokyo and becomes apprenticed to a famous Japanese cartoonist, Noro Shinpei.
Based on Allen Say's own boyhood just after World War II in Japan, The Ink-Keeper's Apprentice is a rich and remarkable novel. The story of a budding artist and his steps toward self-reliance, thirteen-year-old Kiyoi's tale is also one of the fragile beauty of human relationships — of family loyalty, of friendship, and of the special bond between a mentor and his student.
