How do you fit in and stand out when you feel different to everyone
around you? "I loved Frankie's story and could really identify with
her character. This is such an amazing graphic novel that
represents neurodiversity really realistically." Libby Scott "Aoife
Dooley captures Frankie's autistic experience with great care,
humour and love." Lizzie Huxley-Jones "A fun and relatable read
about awkwardness, self-acceptance, family and friendship." Sarah
McIntyre "Unique and often funny ... I cheered Frankie on through
her journey." Sue Cheung Frankie knows she's not like anyone else
in her class: she's different, but she can't quite figure out why.
Is it the new freckle on her nose, or the fact she's small for her
age? Or that she has to go to the hospital sometimes? Everyone else
seems to think she's weird too, and they make fun of her at school.
Frankie's dad left when she was a baby - maybe he was different
too? It would explain why she always feels like an alien. So she
and her best-friend Sam, embark on a mission to track him down. A
graphic novel offering a unique perspective on Autism, told with
humour and heart. Brought to life with glorious colour artwork in a
distinctive blue and orange palette. Perfect for fans of Raina
Telgemeier.
Now an animated series with Paramount+ and Nickelodeon! Like a
sudden soccer ball to the gut, this thrilling installment in the
enormously popular Big Nate series will take your breath away! When
you're a sixth-grade dynamo like Nate Wright, life comes at you
fast. Whether it's a soccer ball to the head or another teacher
tirade, surprises lurk around every corner. In this Big Nate
collection, Nate's friends issue the ultimate insult: they point
out all the ways he resembles his arch-nemesis, Gina. Nate also
scores a new job as an intern at Klassic Komix, and his master plan
to carpet-bomb the school with Valentine's Day cards goes seriously
sideways. And when Nate gets dragged into a cringe-worthy party for
the dreaded Mrs. Godfrey, what could possibly go wrong? With
laughs, adventures, and jokes galore, In Your Face! will make your
head spin.
Lots of brilliantly funny illustrations, help to explain how the
body works inside and out! Kids will go bonkers about this book.

disgusting bits! There's plenty of cool illustrations and easy
bite-size text, that kids will find both hilarious and informative!

Muscles, the hardest worker is our heart it's constantly on the
go!! The nervous system sends and receives messages in super-fast
time .What happens when we sleep...apart from snoring? It's
hilarious but what makes our bottoms burp? Bright, comic-style
illustrations and fun (sometimes disgusting) facts are set out in
an engaging question and answer format. It's just the perfect way
for kids to take their first peek at the science of the human body.
The newest collection of comics featuring Big Nate, who is now the
star of a new animated TV series on Paramount+ and Nickelodeon.
Nate Wright's life kind of stinks. His dad's habit of handing out
healthy snacks ruins another Halloween. His frenemy Artur proves to
be the world's worst football teammate. And how does Todd Dunfy
have a girlfriend while Nate's still shockingly single? It isn't
fair...but Nate doesn't sweat it. Sidelined by a soccer injury, he
tries his hand at coaching. After Chad gets stuck with a cheeky
nickname, Nate decides to butt in. And when Gina takes over the
student lounge, Nate puts his best foot forward. Sweet! This
brand-new collection of Big Nate comics is a breath of fresh air.
So relax, kick your shoes off...and RELEASE THE HOUNDS!

Welcome to the Have A Great Spray waterpark! There's slides, rides
and fried ice cream, but that's not the real attraction . . . Meet
Flamingo, Cactus, Donut and Watermelon - four inflatable pool
floats who live in an almost-forgotten pool next to the
Lost-and-Found office. They may have been left behind by their
original owners, but that hasn't stopped them becoming firm (well
actually quite squashy) friends. And of course there's Lynn too,
the traditional blue Lilo who has been floating around since the
park opened. She's been there, done that and got the puncture. But
things don't always go to plan when you're filled with air and live
in a park packed with pointy things. From Walter S. Lide - the
ruthless park owner - to Claws and Paws, the park's stray cats,
everyone is out to burst their bubble. With each day bringing a
fresh wave of drama, life with the inflatables is always guaranteed
to BLOW UP! Featuring TWO stories: Bad Air Day and Mission
Un-poppable. A funny, sunny, splash-tastic new series for readers
6+, featuring a gang of loveable pool floats! Perfect for fans of
The Bad Guys, Bad Kitty, Spongebob and Toy Story. "A pun-tastic,
abundantly silly graphic novel for 6+." The Guardian
Perfect for fans of Big Nate, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Timmy Failure,
and the previous Stick Dog books, Tom Watson's hilarious Stick Dog
Slurps Spaghetti will be gobbled up even by reluctant readers. It's
slippery. It's slurpable. It's spaghetti! Stick Dog and his gang of
hungry hounds want to play tug-of-war. Their search for rope leads
to something even better-spaghetti! Once they get a taste, they
must get some more. It will be their most difficult mission
ever-and will demand all of Stick Dog's problem-solving skills.
They'll need to scale the tallest mountain in the suburbs and sneak
into a restaurant filled with people. Dangerous humans-a
strange-talking girl, a huge chef, and a penguin-man-lurk around
every corner. But there's more than danger in the air. Stick Dog
has caught the scent of something even more scrumptious than
spaghetti. And he'll risk everything to find out what it is. Other
favorites in the series include Stick Dog Wants a Hot Dog, Stick
Dog Chases a Pizza, and many more!

"What an amazing story this is! One family's struggle for survival
in the chaos of Syria, and one boy's courageous decision to risk
his life to tell the story. This graphic memoir is inspiring and
exciting, powerful and very poignant. I loved it!" -Anderson Cooper
"A story of journalism at its most inspiring, its most
heartbreaking, its most essential. Muhammad is a reporter who
brings hope to a damaged world." -John Berman, CNN anchor "A
powerful true story that demonstrates the power of one young person
determined to change the world. Everyone should read this
phenomenal book." -Victoria Jamieson, coauthor of When Stars Are
Scattered "A beautiful book about an incredible boy. In telling
Muhammad's story, Neus simultaneously captures the extraordinary
sincerity and courage of so many young Syrians, against the
backdrop of a hideous war. Children everywhere should read this
inspiring book." -Clarissa Ward, CNN Chief International
Correspondent Muhammad Najem was only eight years old when the war
in Syria began. He was thirteen when his beloved Baba, his father,
was killed in a bombing while praying. By fifteen, Muhammad didn't
want to hide anymore-he wanted to act. He was determined to reveal
what families like his were enduring in Syria: bombings by their
own government and days hiding in dark underground shelters. Armed
with the camera on his phone and the support of his family, he
started reporting on the war using social media. He interviewed
other kids like him to show what they hope for and dream about.
More than anything, he did it to show that Syrian kids like his
toddler brother and infant sister, are just like kids in any other
country. Despite unimaginable loss, Muhammad was always determined
to document the humanity of the Syrian people. Eventually, the
world took notice. This tenderly illustrated graphic memoir is told
by Muhammad himself along with CNN producer Nora Neus, who helped
break Muhammad's story and bring his family's plight to an
international audience.

the suburbs is enough to make Cat Ninja miss the villains of Metro

arrive in Peaceful Valley, but it won't be long before Dad's new
neighborhood reveals its scaly, golden underbelly. This volume
