New York Times bestselling author Jerry Craft returns with a
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.
When a senator comes up with a probation program to redeem
criminals in the USA, the Supreme Court offers him a chance to
prove the feasibility of his idea...by trying it out on the worst
Old West villains ever: the Daltons. As usual, it's up to Lucky
Luke to keep an eye on the terrible four during their month-long
trial period. If they can refrain from any crime during that time,
they will be set free as good citizens...

about Marlene, a young Dominican girl whose greatest enemy is the

three things: books, her cool Tia Ruby and hanging out with her
best friend Camila. But according to her mother, Paola, the only
thing she needs to focus on is school and "growing up." That means
straightening her hair every weekend so she could have
"presentable", "good hair". But Marlene hates being in the salon
and doesn't understand why her curls are not considered pretty by
those around her. With a few hiccups, a dash of embarrassment, and
the much-needed help of Camila and Tia Ruby--she slowly starts a
journey to learn to appreciate and proudly wear her curly hair.

belongs to neither the world of the living nor the dead. There are
dangers and adventures for Bod in the graveyard. But it's in the

chapter is illustrated by a different artist, with contributions
from P. Craig Russell, Kevin Nowlan, Tony Harris and Scott Hamptom,
Galen Showman, Jill Thompson and Stephen B. Scott.

finally getting into the swing of this whole superhero thing -
saving the world from terrible villains, masterfully concealing his
identity with a very small mask. But what happens when Batpig is
called to battle time itself in a maths class that just won't end?
Or when the city is attacked by something completely (and
literally) out of this world? It's not easy being a super-swine,
but with the help of his best friends Brook the bat and Carl the
fish, there's no hamburglar they can't catch. A brilliantly funny
and skilfully rendered commercial young graphic novel series, with
each book containing two separate stories.
