scores a new job as an intern at Klassic Komix, and his master plan

sideways. And when Nate gets dragged into a cringe-worthy party for
the dreaded Mrs. Godfrey, what could possibly go wrong? With
laughs, adventures, and jokes galore, In Your Face! will make your
head spin.

A New York Times bestseller! USA Today and Publishers Weekly
bestseller! Author Kami Garcia (Beautiful Creatures) and artist
Gabriel Picolo, the creative duo behind the New York Times, USA
Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller Teen Titans: Raven, take
you on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance, while reminding
us the value of true friendship--especially when life gets wild.
Garfield Logan has spent his entire life being overlooked. Even in
a small town like Eden, Georgia, the seventeen-year-old with green
streaks in his hair can't find a way to stand out--and the clock is
ticking. Senior year is almost over. If Gar doesn't find a way to
impress the social elite at Bull Creek High School, he will never
know what it's like to matter. Gar's best friends, Stella and Tank,
can't understand why he cares what other people think, and they
miss their funny, pizza-loving, video game-obsessed best friend.
Then Gar accepts a wild dare out of the blue. It impresses the
popular kids, and his social status soars. But other things are
changing, too. Gar grows six inches overnight. His voice drops, and
suddenly, he's stronger and faster. He's finally getting everything
he wanted, but his newfound popularity comes at a price. Gar has to
work harder to impress his new friends. The dares keep getting
bigger, and the stakes keep getting higher. When Gar realizes the
extent of his physical changes, he has to dig deep and face the
truth about himself--and the people who truly matter--before his
life spirals out of control.

From two incredible rising talents comes the fantasy graphic novel
Molly Knox Ostertag calls "instantly compelling." A New England
Book Award and Harvey Award winner! Aiza has always dreamt of
becoming a Knight. It's the highest military honor in the
once-great Bayt-Sajji Empire, and as a member of the subjugated
Ornu people, Knighthood is her only path to full citizenship.
Ravaged by famine and mounting tensions, Bayt-Sajji finds itself on
the brink of war once again, so Aiza can finally enlist in the
competitive Squire training program. It's not how she imagined it,
though. Aiza must navigate new friendships, rivalries, and rigorous
training under the unyielding General Hende, all while hiding her
Ornu background. As the pressure mounts, Aiza realizes that the
"greater good" that Bayt-Sajji's military promises might not
include her, and that the recruits might be in greater danger than
she ever imagined. In this breathtaking and timely story, Aiza will
have to choose, once and for all: loyalty to her heart and
heritage, or loyalty to the Empire.

haunted by nightmares of a masked murderer and four gruesome
animatronic puppets. Charlie thinks her ordeal is over, but when a
series of bodies are discovered near her school bearing wounds that
are disturbingly familiar she finds herself drawn back into the
world of her father's frightening creations. Something twisted is

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.

a young Jewish boy forges an unlikely friendship with Jason his
Greek neighbor. 128 pages; ages 10-13.
