Claribel A. Ortega and star debut artist Rose Bousamra's Frizzy is
about Marlene, a young Dominican girl whose greatest enemy is the
hair salon! Through her struggles and triumphs, this heartwarming
and gorgeous middle-grade graphic novel shows the radical power of
accepting yourself as you are, frizzy curls and all. Marlene loves
three things: books, her cool Tia Ruby and hanging out with her
best friend Camila. But according to her mother, Paola, the only
thing she needs to focus on is school and "growing up." That means
straightening her hair every weekend so she could have
"presentable", "good hair". But Marlene hates being in the salon
and doesn't understand why her curls are not considered pretty by
those around her. With a few hiccups, a dash of embarrassment, and
the much-needed help of Camila and Tia Ruby--she slowly starts a
journey to learn to appreciate and proudly wear her curly hair.
The 26-Storey Treehouse is the second book in Andy Griffith's and Terry Denton's wacky treehouse adventures, where the laugh-out-loud story is told through a combination of text and fantastic comic book-style illustrations – perfect for fans of Dog Man and Bunny vs. Monkey.
Andy and Terry have expanded their treehouse! There are now thirteen brand-new storeys, including a dodgem-car rink, a skate ramp, a mud-fighting arena, an antigravity chamber, an ice-cream parlour with seventy-eight flavours run by an ice-cream-serving robot called Edward Scooperhands, and the Maze of Doom – a maze so complicated that nobody who has gone in has ever come out again . . . Well, not yet anyway.
This time, the two friends have a whole week to finish their next book, and Andy even knows what it should be about: the story of how he and Terry first met. But life is NEVER boring in the treehouse, and emergency shark operations, giant storms, and wooden pirate heads are just the beginning . . .
Well, what are you waiting for? Come on up!
