Heartbreak and hope exist together in this remarkable graphic novel about growing up in a refugee camp, as told by a Somali refugee to the Newbery Honor-winning creator of Roller Girl.
Omar and his little brother, Hassan, arrived in Dadaab, a refugee camp in Kenya, seven years ago. Their father was killed the day they left home, and they haven’t seen their mother since they joined their neighbors who were fleeing to Dadaab. Now Omar is eleven and Hassan is nine, and Omar has quit school to look after his brother, who has an intellectual disability.
When Omar is given the opportunity to return to school and carve out a future for himself and Hassan, he feels torn. He loves school and could have the opportunity to earn a coveted scholarship to a North American university—and with it a visa for himself and Hassan. But is it worth the risk and heartache of leaving his vulnerable brother for hours each day?
Told in Victoria Jamieson’s engaging and accessible graphic-novel style and based on Omar Mohamed’s gripping true story, this book is an intimate, important look at day-to-day life in a refugee camp.
_______________ From award-winning author Neil Gaiman comes this
collector's edition box set, which contains paperback editions of
three of his bestselling novels: The Graveyard Book, Coraline, and
Fortunately, The Milk. Each book in this set is illustrated in
trademark inspired, hilarious and moving style by acclaimed artist
Chris RIddell, Children's Laureate and two-time winner of the Kate
Greenaway Medal. From the creepy mists of the strange house in
Coraline to the laugh-out-loud hilarity of Fortunately, the Milk,
this box set is guaranteed to delight children and adults alike.
The Graveyard Book: Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a
normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a
graveyard, raised and educated by ghosts. There are dangers and
adventures for Bod in the graveyard. But it is in the land of the
living that the real danger lurks, for it is there that the man
Jack lives... Coraline: There is something strange about Coraline's
new home. It's not the mist, or the cat that always seems to be
watching her. It's the other house. Another mother and father with
black-button eyes are waiting for Coraline to join them there. And
they want her to stay with them. For ever... Fortunately, the Milk:
Mum's away. Dad's in charge. There's no milk. So Dad saves the day
by going to buy some. Really, that's all that happens. Very boring.
There are absolutely NO aliens, pirates, or intergalactic police
inside. And most definitely NOT a time-travelling hot-air balloon
piloted by the brilliant dinosaur scientist Professor Steg...

Jessica knows she’s the better dancer – but their teacher only seems to have eyes for her sister Elizabeth!

Even worse, Elizabeth refuses to believe that their teacher is favoring her! With Jessica’s attitude rapidly souring and Elizabeth slowly realizing that Jessica might actually be right, will they be able to find a way to get Jessica her leading role?
Francine Pascal’s beloved Sweet Valley Twins series continues with Claudia Aguirre offering her fresh and modern artwork just right for today's contemporary middle-grade graphic novel.

fairy tale - a mysterious story of love, loyalty and freedom.

Going to school and making new friends can be tough. But going to
school and making new friends while wearing a bulky hearing aid
strapped to your chest? That requires superpowers In this funny,
poignant graphic novel memoir, author/illustrator Cece Bell
chronicles her hearing loss at a young age and her subsequent
experiences with the Phonic Ear, a very powerful--and very
awkward--hearing aid.
The Phonic Ear gives Cece the ability to hear--sometimes things she
shouldn't--but also isolates her from her classmates. She really
just wants to fit in and find a true friend, someone who
appreciates her as she is. After some trouble, she is finally able
to harness the power of the Phonic Ear and become "El Deafo,
Listener for All." And more importantly, declare a place for
herself in the world and find the friend she's longed for.
