people, he sends a crew of "cleaners" into the Hole, igniting a war
between two worlds. Inside the nightmare surrounding the Central

The Misadventures of Dreary and Naughty introduces two new icons to
the world of children's and teen literature. In a world where
everyday is Halloween, this is a cautionary tale about the son of
the Grim Reaper (Dreary) and the daughter of the Devil (Naughty),
who are sent by their parents to attend high school with mortal
children to learn about humanity-and how "inhuman" high school
years can be. Set in verse by John LaFleur and illustrated in black
and white watercolor by Shawn Dubin, it is a story that reminds
both young and old how it feels to be ostracized during our
sometimes-challenging school years. Embedded in the story is a
gentle reminder of the importance of tolerance and true friendship,
and how both can make school days go a little easier. This brand
new edition marks the 10-year anniversary of the title's initial
release in 2003 and features some revised text from the original.
Once upon a time, an evil queen possessed a powerful mirror. It
spoke only the truth, which often pleased the queen. But when the
mirror reveals that the queen is no longer the fairest lady in the
land, her heart grows cold. She seeks revenge against the beautiful
maiden, vowing to destroy the lovely Snow White.
