Raina Telgemeier, the author of the award-winning SMILE, brings us
her next full-colour graphic novel . . . DRAMA! Callie loves
theatre. And while she would totally try out for her middle
school's production of Moon Over Mississippi, she's a terrible
singer. Instead she's the set designer for the stage crew, and this
year she's determined to create a set worthy of Broadway on a
middle-school budget. But how can she, when she doesn't know much
about carpentry, ticket sales are down, and the crew members are
having trouble working together? Not to mention the onstage AND
offstage drama that occurs once the actors are chosen, and when two
cute brothers enter the picture, things get even crazier! Following
the success of SMILE, Raina Telgemeier brings us another graphic
novel featuring a diverse set of characters that humorously
explores friendship, crushes, and all-around drama!
Get ready for the most hilarious Wimpy Kid book yet!
International bestselling author Jeff Kinney serves up heaps of laughs
in Hot Mess, the 19th book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Greg
Heffley is caught in the middle as the two halves of his extended
family come together in a sidesplittingly relatable summer story!
'The Call of the Wild' is one of Jack London's most popular novels.
The story follows a dog named Buck, a 140lb Saint Bernard and
Scotch Shepard mix. Buck is abducted from a comfortable life as a
pet and tossed into the chaos of the Klondike Gold Rush and the
brutal realities of frontier life. Buck changes hands a number of
times before landing in the kindly hands of John Thornton. Thornton
takes ownership of Buck from a trio of ignorant stampeders, intent
upon making a dangerous river crossing. Buck refuses to cross,
despite a vicious beating. Thornton recognizes the dogs
intelligence and strength. He steps in to claim the dog and nurses
Buck back to health. But Buck is forever changed by the treatment
he has received at the hands of other men. Jack London spent a year
living in the Yukon and drew heavily upon his experiences there
while writing the book. He later said, "It was in the Klondike that
I found myself."
