A boy who lives every day twice uses his ability to bring down
bullies at his new school in Mike Thayer's humor-filled middle
grade novel, The Double Life of Danny Day. My name is Danny Day,
and I live every day twice. The first time, it's a "discard day."
It's kind of like a practice run. At the end of the day, I go to
bed, wake up, and poof everything gets reset, everything except my
memory, that is. The second time, everything is normal, just like
it is for everyone else. That's when everything counts and my
actions stick. As you could probably guess, "Sticky Day" Danny is
very different from "Discard Day" Danny. When Danny's family moves
across the country, he suddenly has to use his ability for more
than just slacking off and playing video games. Now he's making new
friends, fending off jerks, exposing a ring of cheaters in the
lunchtime video game tournament, and taking down bullies one day at
a time ... or is it two days at a time?
Howl with laughter with the SECOND book in the hilarious
full-colour, illustrated series, Dog Man, from the creator of
Captain Underpants! Dog Man, the newest hero from the creator of
Captain Underpants, is still learning a few tricks of the trade. If
only the Chief would throw him a bone every once and a while... Dog
Man needs to dry up the drool, dust away the dander, and roll out
of the refuse if he's going to impress the Chief, and he needs to
do it fast! Petey the cat is out of the bag, and his criminal
curiosity is taking the city by storm. Can the canine crime biter
unleash justice on this ruffian in time to save the city, or will
Petey get away with the purrfect crime? Dav Pilkey's wildly popular
Dog Man series appeals to readers of all ages and explores
universally positive themes, including: empathy, kindness,
persistence, and the importance of being true to one's self. Full
colour pages throughout. OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES Dog Man (book 1)

Instant New York Times No.1 Bestseller Science fiction and East
Asian myth combine in this dazzling retelling of the rise of Wu
Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history. 'This is the
historical-inspired, futuristic sci-fi mash-up of my wildest
dreams.' Chloe Gong 'Raging against the patriarchy in spectacular
style.' Observer, best books of the year 'Think The Handmaid's Tale
meets Pacific Rim and buckle up.' Shelley Parker-Chan 'Like its
ferocious heroine, Iron Widow is brutal, bloodthirsty and full of
rage.' Julie C. Dao I have no faith in love. Love cannot save me. I
choose vengeance. The boys of Huaxia dream of pairing up with girls
to pilot Chrysalises - giant transforming robots that battle aliens
beyond the Great Wall. It doesn't matter that their female
co-pilots are expected to serve as concubines and often die from
the mental strain. When 18-year-old Zetian offers herself up as a
concubine-pilot, her plan is to assassinate the ace male pilot
responsible for her sister's death. But after miraculously
surviving her first battle, Zetian sets her sights on a mightier
goal. The time has come to stop more girls from being sacrificed.
