Fresh from his triumphs in the Trojan War, Odysseus, King of
Ithaca, wants to return to his family. Instead, he offends the sea
god Poseidon, who dooms him to long years of shipwreck &
wandering. In his efforts to get home, he battles man-eating
monsters, violent storms, & the supernatural seductions of
sirens & sorceresses.
The warrior cats leap off the page in this original full-color
adventure-a stand-alone graphic novel set in the wild world of Erin
Hunter's #1 bestselling Warriors series. On the verge of a bitter
leaf-bare, ShadowClan stands on the brink of its own destruction.
When battle-obsessed Brokenstar banishes Nightpelt and the rest of
ShadowClan's elders to the farthest edges of Clan territory,
Nightpelt is shocked at his cruelty. But he's determined to ensure
he and his fellow exiles survive the coming frost-and live to
reclaim a ShadowClan that takes care of its own. Set during the
events of Warriors: The Prophecies Begin, this action-packed,
stand-alone adventure is perfect for longtime Erin Hunter fans and
new readers alike. The bestselling Warriors series in full-color
graphic novel form makes an excellent gift. Other Warriors graphic
novels include Warriors: Winds of Change and Warriors: A Shadow in
RiverClan. Read them all!
Sitting Bull famously defeated the US Cavalry led by General Custer
at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. A wise and fearless
warrior Sitting Bull was the last Indian to surrender to the US
government. The speech bubbles and strip cartoon-style
illustrations of the graphic novel create a dynamic format that
encourages readers to engage with the characters and get involved
in the story. Opening pages provide historical context about the
Great Plains - the harsh climate and the Buffalo herds that roamed
there; the Sioux Nation and their tribal lands; and the drive
westward by white settlers. Closing pages relate the end of Indian
resistance and the final defeat of the Sioux tribe at the Battle of
Wounded Knee, and how the Sioux Indians live today. This work also
includes a glossary, index and recommended further reading. It
supports KS2 History: 'a world history study' and helps achieve the
goals of the Scottish Standard Curriculum 5-14.

Wolfram so determined to get to their mum?

Shawn-how it's done. That is until the game freezes! The family
heads to the Shady Acres Mall to fix their controller, but while at
the game store, one wrong click causes all the characters from the
Zombie Battles game to explode into the real world. It's total
mayhem! Now Duddy, Moomy, Lexi, Mike, Chase, and Shawn have to
fight their own avatars in order to save the world-but will they be
able to stop the army of world-conquering video game villains
before the bad guys level up? Game like you never gamed before in
