Legendary author Walter Dean Myers was once a troublemaker and a truant. Just how bad was he? From instigating mischievous pranks at home to fighting in the classroom-especially when teased about his speech impediment-irrepressible Walter was more than a handful. Underneath it all, he had a tremendous love for books, and by high school, he longed to become a writer. But financial troubles at home made him feel as though his options were so limited that he dropped out of school. Still, his desire to write was as irrepressible as Walter himself. If he could only be given the chance... Walter recounts what growing up in Harlem was like in the 1940s and 1950s-when seeing Langston Hughes and Sugar Ray Robinson on the street was the norm and Jackie Robinson ruled the baseball field.

With echoes of Studio Ghibli, award-nominated creator Wendy Xu's solo graphic novel debut is a story of self-acceptance and friendship-with a magical twist. Sophie is a young witch whose mother and grandma put pressure on her to attend the best magic school in the realm, even though her control over her magic is shaky at best. To help her prepare for the school's entrance exams, they send her away to train with relatives she's never met. However, Sophie's Great Aunt and cousin Sage won't let Sophie near a spell book. Instead, they make her do chores. Frustrated, Sophie attempts magic on her own, but a spell goes horribly awry and she accidentally entangles herself with a young water dragon named Lir. Even though Lir has lost his memories and his ability to shift into his dragon form, he is everything Sophie isn't-beloved by Sophie's family and skilled at magic. With his help, Sophie might just ace her entrance exams, but that means thwarting Lir's attempts to regain his memories. Sophie knows what she's doing is wrong, but without Lir's help, can she prove herself? (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

In this vibrant middle grade graphic novel debut, Ursula Murray Husted invites young readers on a grand adventure as two cats search for a place to call home-an epic ode to the powers of friendship, art, and storytelling. Cilla and Betto are two friends looking for a place to call home on the island of Malta. It hasn't been an easy journey for the kittens. The docks are too wet. The fishermen that come through scarcely leave scraps of food to keep them nourished. The streets are far too busy. And the humans, young and old, are so unreliable. But there is an old kitten tale about a quiet garden-a place where all cats are welcome, and the humans are always kind. Could the stories actually be true? Cilla, with Betto along for the ride, is determined to find out. And as they embark on this grand adventure, the hopeful cats spin a story of their own-one that will take them through the art and stories of many journeyers who came before, and that will bring them to a surprising destination.

From the powerhouse creator of Nimona comes a breathtaking illustrated novel, the start of a duology, following two orphans who leave the only home they've ever known to sail with an eccentric crew of pirates. Fifteen years ago, when the dastardly pirate Scarlet Morning killed the Queen of Dickerson's Sea, a terrible storm began. Now, there's nothing left of the old world: not a queen, not the law, and especially not pirates. Viola and Wilmur have been waiting for their parents for fifteen boring years in the colorless town of Caveat. Their lives are a drudge of salt, trash, pirate stories and what-ifs... until one very stormy night, when Captain Cadence Chase breaks down their door. They cut a deal with the captain: Chase can take their most prized possession, a mysterious book, but only if she takes them, too. After all, if their parents aren't coming, Viola and Wilmur might as well have a grand adventure to find them. Setting sail into the treacherous and beautiful world beyond Caveat, the two inseparable friends must uncover the facts behind legend-and the key to saving all of Dickerson's Sea from obliteration-before the truth tears them apart.

Eighth grader Drew Ellis is no stranger to the saying, 'You have to work twice as hard to be just as good.' His grandmother has told him that his entire life. But lately he's been thinking: Even if he works ten times as hard, he may never get the same opportunities that his privileged classmates at the prestigious Riverdale Academy Day School take for granted. Then, after a visit to his friend Liam's house, Drew realizes that Liam is one of those privileged kids. He wants to pretend like everything is okay, but even his best friend, Jordan, can tell that something is up. As the pressures build, and he starts to feel more isolated than ever, will Drew find a way to bridge the divide so he and his friends can truly accept each other? And more importantly, will he finally be able to accept himself? (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels
