In Jason Platt's debut graphic novel, Ferris Bueller meets Calvin
and Hobbes in this hilarious and embarrassing middle school caper
that asks the important questions--like how long can one kid vamp
before he embarrasses himself in front of his whole school? Newell
is always getting into trouble--whether it's showing up tardy for
most of the year, or mocking his teachers while authoritarian Mr.
Todd is standing right behind him. When disaster strikes and Newell
finds himself on track to summer school, he's given one last minute
option to get out of it: participating in the upcoming Talent Show.
The only problem is that he doesn't technically have a talent to
show. Yikes. In this fun and imaginative full-color graphic novel,
Jason Platt sends a fast-talking, daydreaming, middle school kid on
a desperate quest to pull off a great show and save his summer.
You're not alone! You're not the first kid who ever tripped and
fell in public. Or spilled water on your pants so it looked like .
. . you know! Sure, it's embarrassing, but guess what, it's
actually not the end of the world. Just open So Embarrassing and
discover not only the humor in accidentally calling your teacher
"Mum" in front of the whole class, but the relief in knowing that
it happens to everyone. And then some wickedly funny ideas for how
to turn the whole thing into a joke. Look at you, making everyone
laugh. You survived! Laugh-out-loud funny yet enormously
compassionate, So Embarrassing is a comics-style narrative of
vignettes and stories about all the things that make kids feel
awkward and embarrassed. Written and drawn by Charise Mericle
Harper, the bestselling creator of Fashion Kitty and the Just Grace
series, So Embarrassing combines humor, scientific facts (what
happens when we blush, for example), tips for recovering quickly,
and practical advice, like what to say to comfort a totally
embarrassed friend.
Can you keep up with the Fastest Man Alive? Barry Allen might just
look like a scientist, but he's really The Flash (TM)! Discover how
he uses his superhuman speed to save Central City from
Super-Villains, and meet his Justice League (TM) friends. Packed
with fun facts, exciting colour images, simple vocabulary, and a
fun quiz this Level 2 non-fiction reader will engage young fans of
DC Super Heroes and help them build confidence in reading. (TM)

A young cave girl and her triceratops set out on an adventure from
A to Z and make new friends along the way-galloping goliaths, nine
newts, petite plesiosaurs, and more greet them on their journey
through the alphabet! Martin Cendreda's An Apple and An Adventure
uses rhyme and the ABCs to create an engaging world of wonder
that's both educational and fun.
Newell's perfectly comfortable life is turned upside down when Mrs.
Hendricks announces the upcoming school dance (Fart.) and he
discovers his dad is dating his math teacher (Double Fart!),
forcing Newell to embrace change and grow. At first, Newell is
excited when Mrs. Hendricks announces a school dance! The seventh
grade dance last year was awesome, and Newell used it to invent his
signature move: The Shake and Slide. But when Newell realizes this
dance is for the entire school, not just the eighth grade, he
starts to stress about his friends coupling up and the dance
ultimately breaking up the gang. Things go from bad to worse when
Skyler jinxes Newell: he stubs his toe, breaks his arm, and even
misses Mr. Todd slip across the cafeteria on a banana peel! And if
that wasn't enough, Newell's dad has started dating again...and
specifically starts dating Newell's math teacher, Miss Tanner!
Newell is on a desperate mission to keep his life from changing too
much, will he succeed or embrace the dance of life? Don't miss the
