In this contemporary middle-grade graphic novel, twelve-year-old Lucy discovers her father's collection of Beatles records and is inspired to form an all-girl rock band. It's the first day of seventh grade, and everything is going downhill for Lucy Sutcliffe. At school, her friends seem to be leaving her behind. At home, her single father is in a rut, and her perpetually wandering journalist mother is more absent than ever. Worse of all, Lucy's beloved grandmother is undergoing chemotherapy and is no longer the vital, unflagging presence that her family has come to depend on. Then Lucy discovers the Beatles, gets a drumset, and decides to form a rock band. Things are suddenly looking up. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

On day one at PICA, Molly discovers that-through some horrible twist of fate-her full-ride scholarship has vanished! But the ancient texts (PICA's dusty financial aid documents) reveal a loophole.

The first of a quirky young readers graphic novel trilogy about a boy who sprouts a unicorn horn and uses his newfound magical power to help those in need. It's We Bare Bears for the Care Bears set! The first few years of Brian Reyes's life were unremarkable-nothing weird about this kid, no sir. Then, one day, a bump appeared on his head, and it grew . . . and grew . . . and grew until it was a full-blown, sparkling, singing unicorn horn. That's absolutely the last thing a shy kid like Brian wants, but destiny waits for no unicorn boy. Luckily, Brian has his reassuring pal Avery to keep him grounded as weird occurrences start stacking up, like Brian's breakfast muffin talking to him, or a bizarre black cat offering him a business card. But when shadowy creatures from another realm kidnap Avery, Brian has to embrace his fate to rescue his best friend. In Unicorn Boy, Dave Roman has created a cast of charming oddballs reckoning with everyday problems like heroic destinies and the fate of all magic in the universe.
