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!
A collection of short stories based on personal experience, funny
and often thought provoking. The characters are based on children,
teachers and parents that the author has met when a teacher or as a
child himself. Some characters appear in each story, particularly
Sam Peevis who is that boy known in every classroom for his cheeky
naughtiness. Meet Guy, James, Tony, Tracy, Mr Mizen and a boy who
never speaks. Have you ever tried cramming greasy, cold lamb and
white sauce in your pocket? Ted Mason was a teacher for many years
before working in China as an education adviser. He draws on his
experiences to describe real situations in a sympathetic and
amusing style. He has also written a book about his work and life
in Shanxi, China. The illustrations are water-colours by FeiYue, a
Chinese artist and designer in Beijing, reflecting a mix of Chinese
and Western styles.
It Might Be an Apple is a boisterous, philosophical shaggy dog
story for young children - and probably a few adults. The story
follows a child's hilarious, wildly inventive train of thought
through all the things an apple might be if it is not, in fact, an
apple. Distrusting the apple's convincing appearance, the child's
imagination spirals upwards and outwards into a madcap fantasy
world - maybe it's a star from outer space with tiny aliens on
board? Perhaps it wants a cool hairstyle? Does it feel scared, or
snore at night? Children can see what all these crazy, funny things
might look like. This book is not only huge fun, but it also
encourages a questioning, challenging approach to the world around
us.
