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.
An exciting new adventure for Asterix and friends.
After the tragic death of their father, Emily and Navin move with
their mother to the home of her deceased great-grandfather, but the
strange house proves to be dangerous. Before long, a sinister
creature lures the kids' mom through a door in the basement. Em and
Navin, desperate not to lose her, follow her into an underground
world inhabited by demons, robots, and talking animals.
Eventually, they enlist the help of a small mechanical rabbit named
Miskit. Together with Miskit, they face the most terrifying monster
of all, and Em finally has the chance to save someone she loves.
This book is full of lively and fun illustrations that introduce
children to God's Word and His love for them. Each Bible Story has:
a prayer to help children form a bond with God; A Christian value
that reinforces the story; And a question to help children to
verbalize; What they read, heard and understood.

Frygea Forest. An ancient and mysterious place where trolls lurk in
the mossy spaces between tree trunks and changelings scamper about,
causing mischief. A place that Kyra and her sisters Margot and
Janna return to every year to spend the summer at their grandma's
farm: toasting marshmallows, catching frogs and befriending tiny,
grumpy root goblins. But this summer is different, and as teenage
Margot drifts apart from her sisters, slamming doors and keeping
secrets, Kyra starts to worry. When Margot is enticed into the
woods by the mysterious figures in the mist, Kyra resolves to do
everything in her power to save her sister from danger, even if
that means facing the spooky forces within Frygea Forest with just
her kid sister for help. Join Kyra and her sisters in this
beautiful coming-of-age graphic novel about embracing the changes
that come from growing up, but never letting go of the imagination
that keeps you young. If you're careful, and ever so quiet, you
might spot a root goblin marching along the ground, or a glittering
alf darting amongst the leaves.
