Calvin by Martine Leavitt
Seventeen-year-old Calvin has always known his fate is linked to the comic book character from Calvin & Hobbes. He was born on the day the last strip was published; his grandpa left a stuffed tiger named Hobbes in his crib; and he even has a best friend named Susie. As a child Calvin played with the toy Hobbes, controlling his every word and action, until Hobbes was washed to death. But now Calvin is a teenager who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, Hobbes is back--as a delusion--and Calvin can't control him. Calvin decides that if he can convince Bill Watterson to draw one final comic strip, showing a normal teenaged Calvin, he will be cured. Calvin and Susie (and Hobbes) set out on a dangerous trek across frozen Lake Erie to track him down.
Martine Leavitt has always loved fairy tales and fantasy, and grew up reading such authors as Kingsley, Norton, and L'Engle. In her last year of high school she picked up a copy of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings two weeks before her final exams and couldn't put it down. She almost failed. When she was much older, she went back to school and graduated from the University of Calgary with an Honors English degree. Martine lives in High River, Alberta, Canada, is married to Greg Leavitt, and is the mother of seven children.
