As the assistant to Margo Maloo, Charles has gone on assignment in some pretty interesting locations. He's been to a vampire's lair, an ogre's den, and even a monster grocery store! But he's never been to Downside, Echo City's underground monster metropolis that is super mysterious and definitely off limits to kids. But a settlement of giant spiders is about to be dynamited by unwitting construction workers - and, coincidentally, one of those giant spiders 'accidentally' bit Charles. His cure and the spiders' salvation lie in the Downside - if Charles and Margo can make it in time. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

From Ronald Wimberly, creator of the viral comic Lighten Up, comes a soaring graphic biography that casts new light on the first African American fighter pilot. On the eve of World War I, Eugene Bullard was one of a small but growing number of African American refugees living in France. At just eleven years old, Bullard had fled the dangers of the Jim Crow South, determined to find a place where a Black man would be treated as a human being. His search took him across the Atlantic and through a myriad of lives as a horse racer, vaudeville performer, and boxer. In 1913, he settled in Paris. In 1914, the Great War began, and Bullard made history as the first African American fighter pilot. In this candid-but-sensitive graphic memoir, Ronald Wimberly and Brahm Revel capture moments from Eugene Bullard's life with remarkable empathy, from the muddy trenches to the open sky.

It's the first day of senior year and seventeen-year-old Essie Rosen is already over it. Her best friend went off to college and barely responds to her texts, her brother's on the other side of the country in rehab, every conversation with her mom becomes a fight, and her long-term boyfriend, Bruno, feels weirdly distant.

But when Essie gets dumped and botches her college audition, her entire trajectory changes. Instead of doing community theater, she ends up slumming it in the school play, where she's cast opposite the unexpectedly charming Christopher Sun… the younger brother of the drug dealer who got Essie's brother hooked. Is he the perfect rebound-or the worst decision Essie could make? (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Charise knows this, and she isn't afraid to use that knowledge. Whether it's her favorite toy car, affection from the family cat, or time to sit on her mom's lap, Charise gets what she wants. She doesn't mean to hurt her little brother, Daniel, in the process, but if he stands in her way, he's going to get what he deserves. Of course, just because Charise is older than Daniel doesn't mean that she is wiser than him.

Molly Bauer loves her hometown of Peachtree, North Carolina. And her favorite part about her town is the prestigious art school, Peachtree Institute of Collegiate Arts. On the first day of attending this school of her dreams, the spunky freshman-buoyed on the native Peachtreeian Full Ride Scholarship-discovers her scholarship... is defunct. Rather than take out loans her parents can't afford, she uncovers a lesser-known scholarship in the PICA financial-aid policy book. If she and a dozen other art students can win a single game at the varsity level, they'll all be retroactively qualified for a PICA athletic scholarship. It's a softball scheme for the ages.

Molly Bauer's first year of college is not the picture-perfect piece of art she'd always envisioned. 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. If Molly and 9 other art students win a single game of softball, they'll receive a massive athletic scholarship. Can Molly's crew of ragtag artists succeed in softball without dropping the ball? The author of the New York Times best-selling Check, Please series, Ngozi Ukazu, returns with debut artist Madeline Rupert to bring an energetic young adult story about authenticity, old vs. new, and college failure. It also poses the question: 'Is art school worth it?' (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Based on the true story of soccer legend Mia Hamm, Mia and Friends tells the empowering story of a group of young women who became as close as sisters on the soccer field, eventually making history at the 1999 Women's World Cup! Despite being named after a famous ballerina, little Mia Hamm never cared for pirouettes. Instead, she chased the ball: the baseball, the basketball, and especially the soccer ball. She was often the only girl in the game until, at age fifteen, she stepped onto the soccer field as part of the US Women's National Team. All around her, young women tackled and dribbled, passed and kicked, scored and screamed. They were just like her - but even more skilled. For Mia to improve, she had to play up to the levels of Michelle Akers, Briana Scurry, Brandi Chastain, and so many others. She was determined not to let her team down!
