_______________ From award-winning author Neil Gaiman comes this
collector's edition box set, which contains paperback editions of
three of his bestselling novels: The Graveyard Book, Coraline, and
Fortunately, The Milk. Each book in this set is illustrated in
trademark inspired, hilarious and moving style by acclaimed artist
Chris RIddell, Children's Laureate and two-time winner of the Kate
Greenaway Medal. From the creepy mists of the strange house in
Coraline to the laugh-out-loud hilarity of Fortunately, the Milk,
this box set is guaranteed to delight children and adults alike.
The Graveyard Book: Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a
normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a
graveyard, raised and educated by ghosts. There are dangers and
adventures for Bod in the graveyard. But it is in the land of the
living that the real danger lurks, for it is there that the man
Jack lives... Coraline: There is something strange about Coraline's
new home. It's not the mist, or the cat that always seems to be
watching her. It's the other house. Another mother and father with
black-button eyes are waiting for Coraline to join them there. And
they want her to stay with them. For ever... Fortunately, the Milk:
Mum's away. Dad's in charge. There's no milk. So Dad saves the day
by going to buy some. Really, that's all that happens. Very boring.
There are absolutely NO aliens, pirates, or intergalactic police
inside. And most definitely NOT a time-travelling hot-air balloon
piloted by the brilliant dinosaur scientist Professor Steg...
In ancient Rome, the slaves are rebelling--and they've even stolen

live. Now everyone must sail to the wonderful continent of Atlantis
to find a cure. But, the Romans are on the ocean blue, too...and
the battles are about to come fast and furiously.

companion book to New Kid, winner of the 2020 Newbery Medal, the
Coretta Scott King Author Award, and the Kirkus Prize. This time,
it's Jordan's friend Drew who takes center stage in another
laugh-out-loud funny, powerful, and important story about being one
of the few kids of color in a prestigious private school. Eighth
grader Drew Ellis is no stranger to the saying "You have to work
twice as hard to be just as good." His grandmother has reminded him
his entire life. But what if he works ten times as hard and still
isn't afforded the same opportunities that his privileged
classmates at the Riverdale Academy Day School take for granted? To
make matters worse, Drew begins to feel as if his good friend Liam
might be one of those privileged kids. He wants to pretend like
everything is fine, but it's hard not to withdraw, and even their
mutual friend Jordan doesn't know how to keep the group together.
As the pressures mount, will Drew find a way to bridge the divide
so he and his friends can truly accept each other? And most
important, will he finally be able to accept himself? New Kid, the
first graphic novel to win the Newbery Medal, is now joined by
Jerry Craft's powerful Class Act.
