illustrated series, Dog Man, from the creator of Captain
Underpants! George and Harold (the co-stars of the enormously
popular Captain Underpants series) are in big trouble again! George
and Harold have created a new breed of justice -- one that is part
dog, part man, and ALL HERO! With the head of a dog and the body of
a human, this heroic hound digs into deception, claws after crooks,
rolls over robbers, and scampers after squirrels. Will he be able
to resist the call of the wild to answer the call of duty? Dav
Pilkey's wildly popular Dog Man series appeals to readers of all
ages and explores universally positive themes, including empathy,
kindness, persistence, and the importance of being true to one's
self. Full colour pages throughout.

A shared interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.
Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl with a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the arch-nemeses have set a course for revenge but who will be left alive at the end?
