An end to the endless war. The possibility of stopping the Legion
once and for all. Such is humanity's most fervent desire. But in
the war-free world of tomorrow, what will become of the Eighty-Six?
Many have gained a renewed hope for the future. Some have found
love, and others have new aspirations, but what of those who have
yet to dream? The warm rays of hope have bent their iron wills and
distorted their realities. For those tragic few, the worst is yet
to come...

Raina Telgemeier, the author of the award-winning SMILE, brings us
her next full-colour graphic novel . . . DRAMA! Callie loves
theatre. And while she would totally try out for her middle
school's production of Moon Over Mississippi, she's a terrible
singer. Instead she's the set designer for the stage crew, and this
year she's determined to create a set worthy of Broadway on a
middle-school budget. But how can she, when she doesn't know much
about carpentry, ticket sales are down, and the crew members are
having trouble working together? Not to mention the onstage AND
offstage drama that occurs once the actors are chosen, and when two
cute brothers enter the picture, things get even crazier! Following
the success of SMILE, Raina Telgemeier brings us another graphic
novel featuring a diverse set of characters that humorously
explores friendship, crushes, and all-around drama!

FROM THE POWERHOUSE DUO BEHIND ALLERGIC COMES A GRAPHIC NOVEL ABOUT
FINDING YOUR OWN SPACE. WHEN YOU'RE IN A FAMILY OF NINE!
Eleven-year-old Avery Lee loves living in Hickory Valley, Maryland.
But she's tired of feeling squished by her six siblings! All Avery
wants is her own room -- her own space to be alone and make art.
Avery hatches a plan to finally get her own room, all while trying
navigating changes in her friendships, and working on an art entry
for the fair. And when Avery finds out that her family might move
across the country, things get even more complicated. A funny,
heartfelt, and charming story of family, friendship, and growing
up.
First name . . . Action. Second name . . . Dude. What would happen
if you put Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham and Die
Hard-era Bruce Willis in a bucket and stirred them together with a
big stick? You'd get something like Action Dude. That's his real
name. He used to be Charlie Munderdrew, but he changed it. Action
Dude lives for danger and excitement. He's always jumping out of
helicopters, crashing ships, running along the tops of cranes and
walking out of buildings just before they explode. He's nine years
old and also the bravest action hero there ever was. Except that
he's terrified of spiders. (But don't ever tell anyone that!) When
a theme park full of robots goes haywire, it's up to Action Dude to
come to the rescue. After all, no one else is crazy enough to just
walk in there and save everyone.
