Can I Build Another Me? follows a child's hilarious, wildly
inventive train of thought as he decides to make a clone of himself
- and starts to ponder what makes him HIM. Is it the scar on his
knee or his sticky palms? Is it his love of acorns or the way he
winks? The more he thinks about it, the more complicated it
becomes..
A brand-new series from #1 NYT bestselling Dork Diaries author
Rachel Renee Russell! Introducing Max Crumbly, the new Dork on the
block... Max is about to face the scariest place he's ever been -
South Ridge Middle School! He has been home-schooled by his
grandmother until now, and he's begged his parents to finally let
him start attending a real school. He's starting to question that
choice, though, with the Doug aka Thug Thurston Problem. As in,
Thug keeps stuffing Max in his locker. If only Max could be like
the hero in all the comics he likes to read - or the ones he draws
- and magically escape the locker and defeat Thug. Unfortunately,
Max's uncanny, almost superhuman ability to smell pizza from a
block away won't exactly save any lives or foil bad guys. But that
doesn't mean Max won't do his best to be the hero his school needs!
Praise for Max Crumbly: 'This wacky middle-school misadventure will

New York Times bestselling author Faith Erin Hicks says of Lightfall: “Gorgeous artwork and a lovable heroine make Lightfall the series I wish I'd had as a kid.”
In the second installment of the award-winning, critically acclaimed Lightfall series, Bea and Cad continue their quest to stop Kest, the mythic bird who stole the sun. Perfect for middle grade fans of Amulet and Avatar the Last Airbender, Lightfall: Shadow of the Bird is another breathtaking journey into the magical world of Irpa, where epic battles and powerful creatures abound.
After a battle that nearly cost them their lives, Bea and Cad awaken in the hidden settlement of the Arsai, mysterious creatures who can glimpse into the future. The Arsai’s vision paints a dire picture for their planet, as the bird Kest Ke Belenus—now awoken from a restless slumber—threatens to destroy all the Lights of Irpa. Desperate for a solution, Bea and Cad seek out the help of a water spirit known as Lorgon, whose ancient wisdom may help them find a way to take down Kest and save Irpa from utter destruction.
But when their time with Lorgon presents more questions than answers, Bea and Cad must decide what’s more important . . . stopping Kest or uncovering the truth.

Frygea Forest. An ancient and mysterious place where trolls lurk in
the mossy spaces between tree trunks and changelings scamper about,
causing mischief. A place that Kyra and her sisters Margot and
Janna return to every year to spend the summer at their grandma's
farm: toasting marshmallows, catching frogs and befriending tiny,
grumpy root goblins. But this summer is different, and as teenage
Margot drifts apart from her sisters, slamming doors and keeping
secrets, Kyra starts to worry. When Margot is enticed into the
woods by the mysterious figures in the mist, Kyra resolves to do
everything in her power to save her sister from danger, even if
that means facing the spooky forces within Frygea Forest with just
her kid sister for help. Join Kyra and her sisters in this
beautiful coming-of-age graphic novel about embracing the changes
that come from growing up, but never letting go of the imagination
that keeps you young. If you're careful, and ever so quiet, you
might spot a root goblin marching along the ground, or a glittering
alf darting amongst the leaves.
