An Aldana Libros Book, Greystone Kids Kids 9 to 12 will laugh out
loud while reading this adventurous graphic novel, which brings an
African folk tale to life for a new audience. When Sarra's parents
die, they leave her with an important warning: never let Dan Auta,
her little brother, cry. But Dan Auta loves to make trouble. He
hitches a ride on the back of a bird, pokes the eye of the king's
son, and even pees on the king's head. Making sure he doesn't cry
is much harder than Sarra thought! But Dan Auta's unbridled
curiosity and determination may be exactly what everyone needs: a
terrible monster called the Dodo is attacking the city... and Dan
Auta is the only one with the courage to take him on. Dan Auta
features: A delightful celebration of mischief and bravery A
portrait of the extraordinary things kids are capable of when they
follow their own paths Lively illustrations from renowned
illustrator Piet Grobler Supplementary material that explains the
folk tale's significance

New York Times bestselling author Kazu Kibuishi says of Lightfall:
"Beautifully drawn. Tim Probert has created a world readers will
want to visit." For fans of Amulet and middle grade readers who
love sweeping worlds like Star Wars, the first book of the
Lightfall series introduces Bea and Cad, two unlikely friends who
get swept up in an epic quest to save their world from falling into
eternal darkness. Deep in the heart of the planet Irpa stands the
Salty Pig's House of Tonics & Tinctures, home of the wise Pig
Wizard and his adopted granddaughter, Bea. As keepers of the
Endless Flame, they live a quiet and peaceful life, crafting
medicines and potions for the people of their once-prosperous
world. All that changes one day when, while walking through the
woods, Bea meets Cad, a member of the Galdurians, an ancient race
thought to be long-extinct. Cad believes that if anyone can help
him find his missing people, it's the Pig Wizard. But when the two
arrive home, the Pig Wizard is nowhere to be found-all that's left
is the Jar of Endless Flame and a mysterious note. Fearing for the
Pig Wizard's safety, Bea and Cad set out across Irpa to find him,
while danger fights its way out of the shadows and into the light.
Will these two unexpected friends find the beloved Pig Wizard and
prevent eternal darkness from blanketing their world? Or has Irpa
truly seen its last sunrise? Praise for Lightfall Kirkus Best Books

When a suicide bomber strikes in downtown San Francisco, it gets
the immediate attention of the X-Men. But this is no normal
terrorist - and he's not acting alone. Vampires from around the
globe are descending en masse, staking a brutal claim for the patch
of land the X-Men call their home. What is their agenda?
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..
