Jake thinks he’s too cool for fairy tales, but that changes when
he falls into the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale and meets Belle.
Her strength lies in her empathy and conviction, and Jake is in awe
of her kindness. Jake is also in awe of the Beast’s demanding and
rude attitude. What is his problem? When Belle goes to visit her
ailing father, Jake takes the opportunity to befriend the Beast.
Jake calls out the Beast on his terrible behaviour and attitude and
learns a few things about himself in this untraditional graphic
novel.
Sarah isn’t the nicest kid at school. She doesn’t want to be
rude or mean, but sometimes she can’t control it. When Sarah
falls into the Snow White fairy tale, she lands in the Evil
Queen’s castle. That seems like the perfect place for a mean
girl, doesn’t it? But when Sarah finds out that the Evil Queen is
extra mean (some would even say she’s a bully), Sarah takes
matters into her own hands. Sarah befriends the Queen and gets to
the bottom of her evil ways. Working together, they learn that
loving yourself and what you already have is an important lesson in
this untraditional graphic novel.

the mice outmanoeuvre their old rivals and speed to the finish line
first? Enjoy a modern twist on “Three Blind Mice” as it’s
retold for kids in this exciting Far Out Fairy Tales graphic novel.

It's 1930s Mississippi. Magic is permitted only in certain
circumstances, and by certain people. Unsanctioned broom racing is
banned. But for those who need the money, or the thrills...it's
there to be found. Meet Billie Mae, captain of the Night Storms
racing team, and Loretta, her best friend and second-in-command.
They're determined to make enough money to move out west to a state
that allows Black folks to legally use magic and take part in
national races. Cheng-Kwan - doing her best to handle the delicate
and dangerous double act of being the perfect "son" to her parents,
and being true to herself while racing. Mattie and Emma -- Choctaw
and Black -- the youngest of the group and trying to dodge
government officials who want to send them and their newly-surfaced
powers away to boarding school. And Luella, in love with Billie
Mae. Her powers were sealed away years ago after she fought back
against the government. She'll do anything to prevent the same fate
for her cousins. Brooms is a queer, witchy Fast and the Furious
that shines light on history not often told - it's everything you'd
ever want to read in a graphic novel.

Navigating your first year of college is hard—just imagine having
to navigate newfound superpowers at the same time! Mari's first
year of college is full of exciting new things—she's just
reconnected with her extended family, moved to New York City, and
is ready to step into her power. And with the ancestral totem her
family passed down, her "power" is about to mean a whole lot
more! Turns out this family heirloom also can give you the
powers of the animal kingdom?! Now it's up to Mari to learn how to
use her powers and protect the world around her!
Turns out that the 'magical powers' are actually a thing, and Mari

kingdom. Mari just chalks its 'magical powers' up to superstition.
After arriving in New York City, though, she definitely notices
something strange about her new home. Especially the animals. While
Mari battles staying awake in class and feral subway rats, dark
plans emerge from the corners of the vast metropolis. Girls who
look just like her start going missing and Mari can't shake the
feeling that she's next. As for the totem? Turns out that the
'magical powers' are actually a thing, and Mari is next up to wield
them. Freshman year is gonna be a doozy.

The first original graphic novel in a new series spotlighting the
true stories of the real groundbreakers who changed our world for
the better. "Sometimes the times were dark and the outlook was
lonesome, but where there is a will, there is a way. I pitched in
and dug at my work until now I am where I am." Meet Edmonia Lewis,
the woman who changed America during the Civil War by becoming the
first sculptor of African-American and Native American heritage to
earn international acclaim. Jasmine Walls & Bex Glendining
present the true story of courage, determination and perseverance
through one of America's most violent eras to create true beauty
that still reverberates today. It's about being seen. Both for who
you are, and who you hope you can become. History is a mirror, and
all too often, the history we're told in school reflects only a
small subset of the population. In Seen: True Stories of
Marginalized Trailblazers, you'll find the stories of the real
groundbreakers who changed our world for the better. They're the
heroes: the inventors, the artists, the activists, and more whose
stories you won't want to miss. The people whose lives show us both
where we are, and where we're going.
