Perfect for fans of Spirited Away, Coco, and Ghosts comes a
contemporary fantasy graphic novel about a girl who can see ghosts
and befriends a boy who is stuck between the worlds of the living
and the dead--an instant classic from the award-winning creator of
Pie in the Sky Twelve years ago, the boy and the girl lived. But
one was supposed to die. July Chen sees ghosts. But her dad insists
ghosts aren't real. So she pretends they don't exist. Which is
incredibly difficult now as it's Hungry Ghost month, when the Gates
of the Underworld open and dangerous ghosts run amok in the living
world. When July saves a boy ghost from being devoured by a Hungry
Ghost, he becomes her first ever friend. Except William is not a
ghost. He's a wandering soul wavering between life and death. As
the new friends embark on an adventure to return William to his
body, they unearth a ghastly truth--for William to live, July must
die. Inspired by Chinese mythology, this dark yet resoundingly
hopeful tale about friendship, sacrifice, and the unseen world of
ghosts is a dazzling heir to beloved Studio Ghibli classics.

When Jingwen moves to a new country, he feels like he's landed on
Mars. School is torture, making friends is impossible since he
doesn't speak English, and he's often stuck looking after his
(extremely irritating) little brother, Yanghao. To distract himself
from the loneliness, Jingwen daydreams about making all the cakes
on the menu of Pie in the Sky, the bakery his father had planned to
open before he unexpectedly passed away. The only problem is his
mother has laid down one major rule: the brothers are not to use
the oven while she's at work. As Jingwen and Yanghao bake elaborate
cakes, they'll have to cook up elaborate excuses to keep the cake
making a secret from Mama. In her hilarious, emotional middle-grade
debut, Remy Lai delivers a scrumptious combination of vibrant
graphic art and pitch-perfect writing that will appeal to fans of
Real Friends.

In Fly on the Wall, a moving and hilarious diary-style illustrated
novel from the award-winning author of Pie in the Sky, a
twelve-year-old boy goes on a (forbidden) solo adventure halfway
around the world to prove his independence to his overprotective
family. Henry Khoo's family treats him like a baby. He's not
allowed to go anywhere without his sister/chaperone/bodyguard. And
he definitely CAN'T take a journey halfway around the world all by
himself! But that's exactly his plan. After his family's annual
trip to visit his father in Singapore is cancelled, Henry decides
he doesn't want to be cooped up at home with his overprotective
family and BFF turned NRFF (Not Really Friend Forever). Plus, he's
hiding a your-life-is-over-if-you're-caught secret: he's the
creator of an anonymous gossip cartoon, and he's on the verge of
getting caught. Determined to prove his independence and avoid
punishment for his crimes, Henry embarks on the greatest adventure
everrr. . . hoping it won't turn into the greatest disaster ever.
Remy Lai takes readers on an adventure filled with humor, heart,
and hijinks that's a sure bet for fans of Jerry Craft, Terri
Libenson, and Shannon Hale! "Funny, enthralling, and a great
reminder that being a little odd isn't a bad thing." --Kayla
Miller, author of Click and Camp * Near-misses and laugh-out-loud
moments abound, which will endear it to readers who like 'Big Nate'
and 'Wimpy Kid.' --School Library Journal, starred review
