Chester Coyote is a very talented paintball player. Unfortunately,
he would rather be a lone wolf than run with the pack. His team,
the Wolves, is in the state paintball finals, but he isn't seeing
eye-to-eye with his best friend, Cora Ramirez, the Wolves' team
captain. Chester won't follow her orders, and his class-clown
personality is turning the rest of the Wolves against him. If
Chester doesn't decide to play well with others, he'll lose his
friends -- as well as the paintball championship.
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.

A celebration of Tove Jansson's legacy, one hundred years after
her birth
Tove Jansson's Moomin stories made her one of the most beloved
Scandinavian authors of the twentieth century. Jansson's whimsical
tales of Moominvalley resonate with children for their lighthearted
spirit, and with adults for their incisive commentary on the
banality of everyday life. The year 2014 marks the centenary of her
birth, and Jansson is being honored with events in Japan,
Scandinavia, England, Germany, Russia, Australia, Italy, Spain, and
France. Drawn & Quarterly is joining the festivities by
releasing "Moomin: The Deluxe Anniversary Edition," a slipcased
hardcover collection of the complete Tove Jansson-penned "Moomin
"comic strip, replete with all of her most popular storylines and
original pencil sketches.
It has been more than sixty years since the "Moomin" comic strip
debuted in the "London Evening News." By the end of its run in
1975, "Moomin" was syndicated in more than forty newspapers around
the world and hailed for its light-handed, charming stories. The
comics were revived in 2005 by Drawn & Quarterly and published
to widespread acclaim, sparking a new generation of devoted Moomin
fans with international editions around the world. "Moomin: The
Deluxe Anniversary Edition" celebrates the classic comics the world
adores, and will feature an essay about Tove's work on the "Moomin"
strip.
Tells the story of Paul Revere's ride to Lexington in April 1775 to
warn colonists in Massachusetts of approaching British troops.
