In this atmospheric tribute to the medieval folklore tradition of
trickster tales starring Reynard the fox, beloved children's
cartoonist Ben Hatke turns his pen to a very special project for
adult readers. Inspired by the 12th century tales of the
indomitable trickster fox Reynard, this offbeat tribute to the
archetypal rogue has a satisfyingly old-fashioned feeling to it.
Although this Reynard adventure is entirely the creation of modern
fairytale master Ben Hatke (Mighty Jack), it fits seamlessly into
the body of Reynard tales still beloved in Europe to this day.
Featuring evocative, charming black-and-white illustrations and a
swiftly moving narrative, Reynard's Tale follows our hero through a
series of encounters with other classic figures from this body of
folklore to piece together a headlong journey through a perilous
landscape filled with murderers, kings, ex-lovers, mermaids, and
even Death herself.
Pick up your sword and follow the mighty Jack and his friends from
start to finish! From magic bean creatures in his backyard to
recuse missions into unknown worlds with children-eating goblins,
and teaming up with intergalactic heroes--it's all here in one
deluxe package. This sturdy boxed set includes the paperback
editions of the three Mighty Jack books and a free poster by New
York Times-bestselling author/illustrator Ben Hatke.
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Ben Hatke brings back our intrepid
space heroine for another delightful sci-fi/fantasy adventure. Zita
is determined to find her way home to earth, following the events
of the first book. But things are never simple, and certainly never
easy, in space. Zita's exploits from her first adventure have made
her an intergalactic megastar! But she's about to find out that
fame doesn't come without a price. And who can you trust when your
true self is being eclipsed by your public persona, and you've got
a robot doppelganger wreaking havoc . . . while wearing your face?
Still, if anyone can find their way through this intractible mess
of mistaken identity and alien invaders, it's the indomitable Zita,
in Legends of Zita the Spacegirl. Legends of Zita the Spacegirl is
one of Kirkus Reviews' Best Children's Books of 2012.
Julia and her house full of fantastic friends are on the move, from
#1 New York Times-bestselling author Ben Hatke. Julia's flying
house has come down to earth...and sprouted legs! Now it roams the
landscape looking for the perfect spot to settle down. But just as
Julia spots the Perfect Spot, off in the distance--her walking
house trips! It tumbles down a steep mountain side, and Julia and
her creatures are scattered across the hills while her runaway home
continues rolling off on an adventure of its own. Now it's up to
Julia to gather up her found family and track down her house, and
maybe find that Perfect Spot once and for all. With surprises
around every corner and new creatures galore, master storyteller
Ben Hatke weaves a moving and satisfying final episode for Julia's
House, completing the trilogy of three picture books.
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Zita's life took a cosmic left turn in
the blink of an eye. When her best friend is abducted by an alien
doomsday cult, Zita leaps to the rescue and finds herself a
stranger on a strange planet. Humanoid chickens and neurotic robots
are shocking enough as new experiences go, but Zita is even more
surprised to find herself taking on the role of intergalactic hero.
Before long, aliens in all shapes and sizes don't even phase her.
Neither do ancient prophecies, doomed planets, or even a friendly
con man who takes a mysterious interest in Zita's quest. Zita the
Spacegirl is a fun, captivating tale of friendship and redemption
from Flight veteran Ben Hatke. It also has more whimsical,
eye-catching, Miyazaki-esque monsters than you can shake a stick
at.
When Julia and her walking house come to town, she likes everything
about her new neighborhood except how quiet it is So Julia puts a
sign up: "Julia's House for Lost Creatures." Soon she's hosting
goblins, mermaids, fairies, and even a dragon. Quiet isn't a
problem anymore for Julia...but getting her housemates to behave
themselves is The simple, sweet text of this picture book by "New
York Times" Best-Selling "Zita the Spacegirl" author/illustrator
Ben Hatke is perfectly balanced by his lush, detailed, immersive
watercolor illustrations.
The garden behind Jack's house has gone wild with creatures set
loose by the magic beans Jack and his kid sister Maddy planted. One
particularly mean creature has kidnapped Maddy and carried her off.
Now Jack and his neighbour Lilly must follow her to a world between
worlds beyond the vines and stalks, where giants grind the bones of
human children to feed their beast in the castle up above, and a
fearsome goblin king rules down below. It'll take more than Lilly's
bag of concoctions and tricks, and more than one hero, to rescue
Maddy, reunite Jack's family, and bring them all safely home again.
Jack might be the only kid in the world who's dreading summer. But
he's got a good reason: Summer is when his single mum takes a
second job and leaves him at home to watch his autistic kid sister,
Maddy. It's a lot of responsibility, and it's boring, too, because
Maddy doesn't talk. Ever. But then, one day, she does talk. Maddy
tells Jack in no uncertain terms to trade their mum's car for a box
of magic beans. It's the best mistake Jack has ever made. The
little garden behind his house is about to become home to tiny
onion babies running amok, dangerous biting cabbages, and, in a
fiery cliff hanger at the end of this first volume: a dragon.
It's the middle-grade team-up of the century as the heroes of New
York Times bestselling author Ben Hatke join forces to save the
world in Mighty Jack and Zita the Spacegirl. Jack and Lilly are no
strangers to heroics. They've befriended dragons, battled giants,
and even earned the loyalty of a goblin army. So when they meet
Zita the Spacegirl, fresh from her interplanetary travels and
seeking their help to face a new threat, they're more than ready
for another adventure. But the danger growing just outside the door
to their world is greater than anything the new friends could have
imagined. An army of giants and screeds stands ready to lay siege
to Earth, determined to put the age of humans to an end. With the
gate between worlds growing weaker and time running out, can the
heroes come together to save their world from their greatest enemy
yet?
Julia's house is restless. Julia and her family of lost creatures
are ready to move on. But where will they go? And how will they get
there? Don't worry - Julia has a plan for that! Julia always has a
plan. But when Julia's plans all fail . . . What's left for her?
A lonely girl befriends a sweet little robot in this brand new
adventure from Zita the Spacegirl author Ben Hatke! When a little
girl finds an adorable robot in the woods, she presses a button and
accidentally activates him for the first time. Now, she finally has
a friend. But the big, bad robots are coming to collect the little
guy for nefarious purposes, and it's all up to a five-year-old
armed only with a wrench and a fierce loyalty to her mechanical
friend to save the day!
Don a cape and follow the indomitable space explorer Zita from
start to finish! From her unlikely origin as a humble earth girl to
her wildest spacefaring adventures - robot doppelgangers, space
whales, doomsday cults - it's all here in one deluxe package. This
sturdy boxed set includes the paperback editions of the three Zita
the Spacegirl books and a free poster by New York Times bestselling
author/illustrator Ben Hatke.
From New York Times bestselling author Ben Hatke comes Things in
the Basement, a young readers graphic novel about Milo, a young boy
who discovers a portal to a secret world in his basement. It was
supposed to just be a normal basement--some storage boxes, dust,
you know, the usual basement stuff. But when Milo is sent by his
mother to fetch a sock from the basement of the historic home
they've moved into, Milo finds a door in the back that he's never
seen before. Turns out that the basement of his house is enormous.
In fact, there is a whole world down there. As Milo travels ever
deeper into the Basement World, he meets the many Things that live
in the shadows and gloom...and he learns that to face his fears he
must approach even the strangest creatures with kindness.
In its mother's womb, a baby grows, explores the waters, and talks
with the angel who is there. The gentle illustrations tell the
story of that baby and angel, delighting young children because the
journey from conception to birth is their story, too. Sophia
