Jo March has always loved making up stories for her sisters, Meg, Beth, and Amy. But when eighth grade starts, Jo decides it's time to get serious about her writing and starts a blog to kick-start this journey. Then Freddie, a girl on the school newspaper, asks Jo to join as a staff writer. This could be the perfect chance to see if she's got what it takes to be a hard-hitting journalist. But even with Freddie cheering her on, writing news stories is a lot harder than she imagined. That's not all that's tough. With the March sisters' dad deployed overseas, their mom working overtime to keep things running smoothly, and Beth worried about her leukemia returning, things at home are tense. And while it helps having a new friend in Laurie, the boy who just moved in next door, things get complicated when he tells Jo he has feelings for her. Feelings that Jo doesn't have for him . . . or for any boy. Feelings she's never shared with anyone before. Feelings that Jo thinks she might have for Freddie. How do you discover who you want to become when you're not entirely sure who you are? Jo March is about to find out. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

For fans of the Lunch Lady and Hilo series comes a charming, funny young middle grade graphic novel from debut author-illustrator Scott SanGiacomo, about a boy named Ted who realizes that his perceived flaw-wild red hair-is actually his superpower. Ted has always had one giant problem: his hair. No matter what he does, nothing can tame his unruly mane. Starting fourth grade is going to bring BIG obstacles, especially with teasing from bullies. That's how he got the name Bedhead Ted after all. But Ted has his best friend, Stacy, to distract him. So when Stacy becomes obsessed with Brookside's mythological Beast-a giant raccoon terrorizing the town-Ted is ready to help him unravel the mystery. But when new friends enter the mix, Ted's friendship with Stacy gets a little rocky. And when Stacy gets the idea to search for the Brookside Beast on his own, only Ted and his unruly hair can save him. For the first time in his life, Ted wonders if his hair might just be a gift rather than an epic curse. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

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.

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.
