For fans of Click and Brave, this touching coming-of-age middle
grade graphic novel debut follows an autistic girl who finds
friendship where she least expects it and learns to express her
true self in a world where everyone defines her by her differences.
Twelve-year-old Mia is just trying to navigate a world that doesn't
understand her true autistic self. While she wishes she could stand
up to her bullies, she's always been able to express her feelings
through singing and songwriting, even more so with her best friend,
Charlie, who is nonbinary, putting together the best beats for her.
Together, they've taken the internet by storm; little do Mia's
classmates know that she's the viral singer Elle-Q! But while the
chance to perform live for a local talent show has Charlie excited,
Mia isn't so sure. She'll have to decide whether she'll let her
worries about what other people think get in the way of not only
her friendship with Charlie, but also showing everyone, including
the bullies, who she is and what she has to say.
An irresistibly brilliant graphic novel adaptation of The Graveyard
Book by Neil Gaiman, adapted by award-winning illustrator P. Craig
Russell. This is the second of two volumes. Nobody Owens, known as
Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't
live in a graveyard, being raised by ghosts, with a guardian who
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
land of the living that the real danger lurks, for it is there that
the man Jack lives, and he has already killed Bod's family.

the excitement of a new school and a fresh start, she's still
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
hunting Charlie, and this time if it finds her, it's not letting
her go. With electrifying art from Eisner Award-nominated artist
Claudia Aguirre, and even more horror than ever before, fans won't

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.

Raina Telgemeier, the author of the award-winning SMILE, brings us
her next full-colour graphic novel . . . DRAMA! Callie loves
theatre. And while she would totally try out for her middle
school's production of Moon Over Mississippi, she's a terrible
singer. Instead she's the set designer for the stage crew, and this
year she's determined to create a set worthy of Broadway on a
middle-school budget. But how can she, when she doesn't know much
about carpentry, ticket sales are down, and the crew members are
having trouble working together? Not to mention the onstage AND
offstage drama that occurs once the actors are chosen, and when two
cute brothers enter the picture, things get even crazier! Following
the success of SMILE, Raina Telgemeier brings us another graphic
novel featuring a diverse set of characters that humorously
explores friendship, crushes, and all-around drama!
From the brilliant and twisted mind of manga artist Shintaro Kago, a new collection of short stories rife with skin-crawling suspense, visceral body horror, and pitch dark-humor. In 2018, manga artist Shintaro Kago made his English debut with Dementia 21, a collection of absurdist manga short stories. Readers found themselves delighted and disgusted by his penchant for body horror, black comedy and the surreal paired with his emphatic, kinetic art style. Kago returns at the height of his powers with Brain Damage, where he dials up the gore and absurdity to new heights.
Brain Damage collects four new short manga stories, a tantalizing blend of the hilarious and the macabre. In “Labyrinth Quartet,” four identical young women trapped in an eerie building must solve the mystery of why they’ve been gathered there ― while being hunted by a knife-wielding stalker. In “Curse Room,” a plucky health aide is tasked with keeping zombies peaceful, lest they go on a brain-eating rampage. In “Family Portrait,” people throughout town are strangely disappearing without a trace, and the key to it all is a senile and perverted old man. Finally, in “Blood Harvest” a series of gruesomely mangled bodies are found in pristine cars ― and it appears something sinister lurks within these masses of glass and steel. Black-and-white illustrations throughout
