For fans of Click and Brave, this touching coming-of-age middle
grade graphic novel debut follows an autistic girl who finds
friendship where she least expects it and learns to express her
true self in a world where everyone defines her by her differences.
Twelve-year-old Mia is just trying to navigate a world that doesn't
understand her true autistic self. While she wishes she could stand
up to her bullies, she's always been able to express her feelings
through singing and songwriting, even more so with her best friend,
Charlie, who is nonbinary, putting together the best beats for her.
Together, they've taken the internet by storm; little do Mia's
classmates know that she's the viral singer Elle-Q! But while the
chance to perform live for a local talent show has Charlie excited,
Mia isn't so sure. She'll have to decide whether she'll let her
worries about what other people think get in the way of not only
her friendship with Charlie, but also showing everyone, including
the bullies, who she is and what she has to say.
The Story of the Treasure Seekers (1899) is a children's novel by
English writer Edith Nesbit. The first book in Nesbit's beloved
Bastable trilogy-which also includes The Wouldbegoods (1901) and
The New Treasure Seekers (1904)-The Story of the Treasure Seekers
is a story of family, adventure, and mystery for children and
adults alike. The Bastable siblings-Dora, Oswald, Dicky, Alice,
Noel, and Horace Octavius-are clever and curious children who live
with their widowed father. When their mother died, their father
became ill and lost his successful business, forcing the family to
live modestly. Inspired by stories of buried gold and jewels-and
hoping to help their struggling father-the Bastable children decide
to go searching for treasure. Their adventure soon takes them to
London, where they abandon digging for the allure of paying work.
The Bastables come up with several schemes to make money, including
writing poetry, banditry, and starting a newspaper, in the process
discovering the power of imagination and the true value of home.
The Story of the Treasure Seekers is a masterpiece of children's
fiction from Edith Nesbit, one of the twentieth century's
children's authors. Originally published as a series of stories in
several different periodicals, The Story of the Treasure Seekers
was Nesbit's first novel for children. It would go on to influence
both Arthur Ransome and C.S. Lewis, and is a favorite of J.K.
Rowling's. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Edith Nesbit's The Story of the
Treasure Seekers is a classic of English children's literature
reimagined for modern readers.
