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!

Inspired by Emily Hampshire's real life and friends. From the
weirdo mind of actor, writer, and producer Emily Hampshire
(SCHITT'S CREEK, CHAPELWAITE, 12 MONKEYS), AMELIA AIERWOOD: Basic
Witch follows the least-favorite daughter of L.A.’s most famous
family of witches, the Aierwoods. Amelia’s sisters have all
followed in the footsteps of their prominent parents but everything
Amelia does is just a little… off-brand. A late bloomer who has
yet to find her calling, Amelia uses her powers for mostly mundane
problems but even those lead to magical misfires. As her family's
fame continues to rise, they have no choice but to exclude their
bumbling black-sheep daughter from the next great chapter of the

Spaghetti - who she accidentally turned into a yeti… long story -
Amelia must carve her own path outside of her family’s influence.
There once was an ugly duckling ... who was actually a baby
dinosaur! A dino egg tumbled through a time vortex into a duck
nest, but it's clear the hatchling Rex doesn't fit in with his
duckling family. So the lost dino leaves the nest on a quest to
find his place among the barnyard animals. Will Rex ever find where
he truly belongs? In this ebook Far Out Fables adventure, Hans

Green-growing secrets and powerful magic await you at Misselthwaite
Manor, now reimagined in this bewitching graphic novel adaptation
of Frances Hodgson Burnett's beloved tale. From Mariah Marsden,
author of the critically acclaimed Anne of Green Gables: A Graphic
Novel, comes the second installment in this series of retold
children's classics. Ten-year-old Mary Lennox arrives at a secluded
estate on the Yorkshire moors with a scowl and a chip on her
shoulder. First, there's Martha Sowerby: the too-cheery maid with
bothersome questions who seems out of place in the dreary manor.
Then there's the elusive Uncle Craven, Mary's only remaining
family-whom she's not permitted to see. And finally, there are the
mysteries that seem to haunt the run-down place: rumors of a lost
garden with a tragic past, and a midnight wail that echoes across
the moors at night. As Mary begins to explore this new world
alongside her ragtag companions-a cocky robin redbreast, a
sour-faced gardener, and a boy who can talk to animals-she learns
that even the loneliest of hearts can grow roots in rocky soil.
Given new life as a graphic novel in illustrator Hanna
Luechtefeld's whimsical style, The Secret Garden is more enchanting
and relevant than ever before. At the back of the book, readers can
learn about the life of Frances Hodgson Burnett and the history of
British colonialism that contextualizes the original novel.
Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham (and breakout character
from Into the Spider-Verse), arrives in this all-new, original
graphic novel for younger readers! Experience a laugh-out-loud day
in the life of Spider-Ham! After long being derided by the citizens
of New York, Spider-Ham has finally been recognized for his
outsized contribution to the city's safety, and receives the key to
the city from none other than the mayor (and, being a cartoon
universe, the key actually unlocks New York City's political and
financial institutions). Sure, it's just a publicity stunt for the
beleaguered mayor - and yeah, maybe every single other super hero
was busy that day - but an award is an award! Of course, Spider-Ham
isn't paying attention to the fine print telling him he didn't
actually get to keep the key, and he swings off without returning
the highly coveted oversized object. The next day, when the mayor's
office finally gets in touch to ask for the key back, Spider-Ham
realises he must have dropped it sometime in the last 24 hours.
YIKES. Now, our notoriously empty-headed hero must retrace his
steps from the past day, following his own trail to discover where
he dropped the key before it falls into villainous hands. Did he
lose it during a rooftop chase with the Black Catfish? Drop it in
the middle of a tussle with the Green Gobbler? Leave it behind
while visiting Croctor Strange's magic mansion? Accidentally store
it next to May Porker's vacuum cleaner? Who knows? You'll have to
read to find out! But one thing's for sure - Great Power, No
Responsibility is an action-packed, hilarious adventure perfect for
younger readers.
Sparks is in for trouble when he starts seeing double! Who's a good
dog?! Charlie and August, the two cats that control the mechanical
superhero dog, Sparks, are keeping the city safe. But when a
second, evil Sparks shows up and starts causing trouble around
town, everybody blames the real Sparks. Determined to prove that
Sparks is still the hero everyone can count on, Charlie and August
set out to uncover the shocking truth about who is responsible for
all the chaos.
The warrior cats leap off the page in their first-ever original
full-color adventure-a stand-alone graphic novel set in the wild
world of Erin Hunter's #1 bestselling Warriors series. When
RiverClan fell under the rule of the vicious Tigerstar, Feathertail
barely escaped with her life. Now RiverClan is trying to rebuild in
unity and peace-even if Feathertail isn't ready to forgive her
Clanmates. But when RiverClan takes in a rogue cat named Sasha and
her two kits, Feathertail must find a way to escape the shadows of
the past if she is to be a part of her Clan's future. Set after the
events of Warriors: The Prophecies Begin, this action-packed,
stand-alone adventure is perfect for longtime Erin Hunter fans and
new readers alike.
