Callie is a punk rock star in the big city who could use a little
peace and quiet. Martina is a singing farm mouse with dreams of
making it in the big city. When they both show up at the Battle of
the Bands, Callie and Mel get a taste of what the other has to
offer. But is living another mouse's life really all it's cracked
up to be? In this Far Out Fables adventure, Aesop's "The Town Mouse
and the Country Mouse" is retold with a modern twist to create an
exciting graphic novel for kids!
When the bell rings and school is finished for the day, the walkers are finally set free.

In ten stories (one per block), find out what really happens on the walk home from school, when there are no parents or teachers to supervise (or stop the fun!). From hilarious escapades to brave challenges, join the walkers for one journey and many, many detours...

In Other Boys, debut author Damian Alexander delivers a moving
middle grade graphic memoir about his struggles with bullying, the
death of his mother, and coming out. Damian is the new kid at
school, and he has a foolproof plan to avoid the bullying that's
plagued him his whole childhood: he's going to stop talking.
Starting on the first day seventh grade, he won't utter a word. If
he keeps his mouth shut, the bullies will have nothing to tease him
about--right? But Damian's vow of silence doesn't work--his
classmates can tell there's something different about him. His
family doesn't look like the kind on TV: his mother is dead, his
father is gone, and he's being raised by his grandparents in a
low-income household. And Damian does things that boys aren't
supposed do, like play with Barbies instead of GI Joe. Kids have
teased him about this his whole life, especially other boys. But if
boys can be so cruel, why does Damian have a crush on one?
