Public Library Best Book The New York Times bestselling graphic
novel sensation from Noelle Stevenson, based on her beloved and
critically acclaimed web comic. Kirkus says, "If you're going to
read one graphic novel this year, make it this one." Nemeses!
Dragons! Science! Symbolism! All these and more await in this
brilliantly subversive, sharply irreverent epic from Noelle
Stevenson. Featuring an exclusive epilogue not seen in the web
comic, along with bonus conceptual sketches and revised pages
throughout, this gorgeous full-color graphic novel has been hailed
by critics and fans alike as the arrival of a "superstar" talent
(NPR.org). Nimona is an impulsive young shapeshifter with a knack
for villainy. Lord Ballister Blackheart is a villain with a
vendetta. As sidekick and supervillain, Nimona and Lord Blackheart
are about to wreak some serious havoc. Their mission: prove to the
kingdom that Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin and his buddies at the
Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics aren't the heroes
everyone thinks they are. But as small acts of mischief escalate
into a vicious battle, Lord Blackheart realizes that Nimona's
powers are as murky and mysterious as her past. And her
unpredictable wild side might be more dangerous than he is willing
to admit.

Charise knows this, and she isn't afraid to use that knowledge.
Whether it's her favourite toy car, affection from the family cat,
or time to sit on her mum's lap, Charise gets what she wants. She
doesn't mean to hurt her little brother, Daniel, in the process,
but if he stands in her way, he's going to get what he deserves. Of
course, just because Charise is older than Daniel doesn't mean that
she is wiser than him. In fact, if Charise can learn to open her
heart before she hurts him in a way that she can't take back, she
might discover that her little brother has the greatest power of
all.

At Pumpkins County Middle School, weird things happen every class
period, not to mention during lunch, but nobody ever makes a fuss.
Principal Garish thinks what's weird and . . . well . . . creepy is
how fascinating the mysterious goings-on are to Carol, a big-city
girl new to Pumpkins County, who finds kindred spirits in Mitchell
(monster expert), Mark (military brat with logistics know-how) and
Rosario (girly girl on the outside, muscle underneath). The Creeps
are on the case to figure out the spooky mysteries and still get to
class on time. Last week it was a pudding monster. This week, it's
disappearing classmates and a suspiciously coincidental
animal-rights petition being passed around by the snootiest girl in
class. Could she be behind an amphibian menace? Or could it be the
mad genius who lives in the sewers? How about the school janitor?
The Creeps will track down the answers! Living in a place that's a
little bit Gravity Falls and a little bit Goosebumps, the Creeps
will have no end of mysteries to dig into while they try to keep
their grades up too. Chris Schweizer's art is full of visual
exictement that only the best graphic novel creators pull off in
their work.

notoriously warped and wonderful wit come into readers' lives once
again in his latest collection of uniquely wacky cartoons.
This fabulous sequel to "Where's Asterix?" features the loveable
Dogmatix and his friends in a variety of fun, action-packed scenes,
from "A Banquet Dance" to "A Boarding Party" to "A Wild Boar Hunt"
and more. Younger readers will be absorbed for hours as they search
for Dogmatix amid the hustle and bustle
