A tour-de-force by New York Times-bestselling graphic novelist Gene Luen Yang, American Born Chinese tells the story of three apparently unrelated characters: Jin Wang, who moves to a new neighborhood with his family only to discover that he's the only Chinese-American student at his school; the powerful Monkey King, subject of one of the oldest and greatest tales from Chinese folklore; and Chin-Kee, a personification of the ultimate negative Chinese stereotype, who is ruining his cousin Danny's life with his yearly visits. Their lives and stories come together with an unexpected twist in a twenty-first-century fable that is hilarious, poignant, and action-packed. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Ash has always felt alone. Adults ignore the climate crisis. Other kids Ash's age are more interested in popularity contests than in fighting for change. The only person who seemed to understand how desperate things were was Ash's grandpa, Edwin. Before he died, Edwin used to talk about building a secret cabin, off the grid in the California wilderness. And to Ash, that maybe-mythical cabin is starting to feel like the perfect place for a fresh start and an escape from the miserable feeling of alienation that haunts their daily life. But making the wilds your home isn't easy. And as much as Ash wants to be alone... can they really be happy alone? Can they survive alone? Available in Softcover and Hardcover editions.

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.
