After defeating the skeleton army invasion, things get awfully quiet at Battle Station Prime. School is in session, and the students are finally falling into a routine. One ordinary day, while Pell is daydreaming about a life of adventure, his ears perk up. His teacher speaks of a magical realm with an enchanted sword that only a true hero — the Chosen One — can possess.
After reading more about the legend, clues in the text make Pell think that he may be the Chosen One and this is his calling. Pell enlists the help of Logan and Maddy to embark on a hero’s quest. To their surprise, as they set out, they are joined by others who believe that the hero’s quest is theirs. At first, the opposing groups compete to see who can find the magical realm and get to the sword first, but as the going gets tough, the teams must work together to cross the challenging frozen landscape, battling natural enemies and using their survival skills.
As the groups get closer to their goal, they uncover secrets long hidden about the true nature of one of their fellow travelers: that the Chosen One has been traveling with them all along, and it’s someone they never suspected.

One of the most significant transformations in literature for
children and young adults during the last twenty years has been the
resurgence of comics. Educators and librarians extol the benefits
of comics reading, and increasingly, children's and YA comics and
comics hybrids have won major prizes, including the Printz Award
and the National Book Award. Despite the popularity and influence
of children's and YA graphic novels, the genre has not received
adequate scholarly attention. Graphic Novels for Children and Young
Adults is the first book to offer a critical examination of
children's and YA comics. The anthology is divided into five
sections: structure and narration; transmedia; pedagogy; gender and
sexuality; and identity, that reflect crucial issues and recurring
topics in comics scholarship during the twenty-first century. The
contributors are likewise drawn from a diverse array of
disciplines-English, education, library science, and fine arts.
Collectively, they analyze a variety of contemporary comics,
including such highly popular series as Diary of a Wimpy Kid and
Lumberjanes; Eisner award-winning graphic novels by Gene Luen Yang,
Nate Powell, Mariko Tamaki, and Jillian Tamaki; as well as volumes
frequently challenged for use in secondary classrooms, such as
Raina Telgemeier's Drama andSherman Alexie's The Absolutely True
Diary of a Part-Time Indian. With contributions by: Eti Berland,
Rebecca A. Brown, Christiane Buuck, Joanna C. Davis-McElligatt,
Rachel Dean-Ruzicka, Karly Marie Grice, Mary Beth Hines, Krystal
Howard, Aaron Kashtan, Michael L. Kersulov, Catherine Kyle, David
E. Low, Anuja Madan, Meghann Meeusen, Rachel L. Rickard Rebellino,

Sommers, Marni Stanley, Gwen Athene Tarbox, Sarah Thaller, Annette
