From award-winning Mexican author
Ricardo Chávez Castañeda and the visionary Mexican
designer Alejandro Magallanes comes a horror story and
ghost story that is both daringly and beautifully told in word and
image. There are stories so terrible that we tremble to hear even a
whisper of them. Even more terrible, some of them are true.This is
one such story, a story of our deepest inhumanity—one that
confronts the history of violence against children, and
through its young narrator attempts to find a way out. A
horror story and ghost story told as much through art as through
text, The Book of Denial is an antidote to our
collective silence. By uplifting storytelling as a means of
understanding the past and shaping the future, it is
also—improbably—a beacon of hope. Written by genre-defying
Mexican author Ricardo Chávez Castañeda, The Book of
Denial is a dark and powerful story within a story,
illustrated with a striking graphic sensibility by Alejandro
Magallanes and translated by Lawrence Schimel. This is the third
book to appear under Unruly, an imprint of picture books for older
readers, and will include a short note to readers about how it
continues to build this experimental framework of visually complex,
sophisticated picture books for teens and adults.
Angry validates children's feelings and guides them through a
calming breathing exercise.

Can Amelia share her life without sharing her journal? A series
favorite is now available in paperback
Amelia's sister Cleo gives her a new notebook as a tenth birthday
present, and Amelia can't wait to fill it with all her secret
thoughts and drawings. But when her best friend Leah wants to read
her notebook, Amelia is torn: Sometimes secrets are better when
shared with friends, but other secrets are private. How can Amelia
keep her friend from feeling left out while still saving some
secrets for herself?
This popular installment of the bestselling Amelia series is now
available for the first time as a paperback, making Amelia's antics
available to a wide new audience of young readers.
Illustrated in full color and packed with character and humor, this
is the fifth whodunnit mystery in the awardwinning Detective Gordon
series, fun to read alone or aloud. A Case with a Bang is the final
book in the series of funny detective stories for early readers set
in a friendly forest in which two determinedly fair
police-retired-toad Gordon and the indefatigable mouse Buffy-solve
the mystery and stop regularly to eat cake. Night brings a horrible
humming, scraping sound in the forest. Someone has wrecked the
badger's trash can. Later, three large creatures are spotted up on
the mountain. Detective Buffy discovers this seemingly small case
really is a dangerous mystery-she comes back from her first
investigation flat as a gingerbread, rolled over by something huge
and terrifying. Back at the station, retired Detective Gordon is
training a new young police assistant, and the cakes have run out
in the forest bakery! While all the animals cower at the police
station, Buffy remembers Gordon's stories about trolls. Is it
possible they do exist? Taking Gordon's advice about how everyone
thinks differently, she finds a way to communicate with the giant
creatures-perhaps not so terrifying after all. The book leaves
readers with a memorable Gordon message: Everyone thinks
differently, strangers are welcome, cakes for everybody! This final
instalment in the awardwinning Detective Gordon series is a
multi-layered philosophical story about good detective work
involving all, kindness to newcomers and doing the right thing.
Winner of multiple awards and accolades, Detective Gordon is a
mystery series with depth-perfect for reading alone for emerging
readers, wonderful for reading aloud together as a chapter book.
Translated from the Swedish edition by Julia Marshall.
