With their rapidly gentrifying town of Milforth causing fights between her brother and her dad, summer isn't looking great for twelve-year-old Lucy. At least, that's what Lucy thinks... until Milforth's plan to revive an old carousel for the town's one hundred fiftieth anniversary brings artist Ray and her daughter, Anaïs, to town. Suddenly Lucy's summer is looking up! Anaïs is smart, funny, and easy to get along with, and for Lucy-who's not the most popular girl in her middle school-Anaïs is just the person that could take Lucy's summer from dire to fire. The two bike around town, help Ray with the carousel restoration, and bond over their love of fantasy novels. Used to being judged for her looks and interests, Lucy finally feels at ease to be herself. And she thinks she may feel something for Anaïs, too. But with tensions rising at home, and with locals, thanks to a wheeling-and-dealing development company looking to build new condos in town, Lucy soon finds herself in a constant state of battle with her dad. Can Lucy find the courage to be true to herself? (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

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

SYNOPSIS: In this delicious middle grade companion novel to Garlic and the Vampire, Bree Paulsen sets her lovable, anxious heroine on another adventure, one that that is scary and exciting at the same time. Bree Paulsen's brave little protagonist, Garlic, is back in this charmingly illustrated standalone companion to Garlic and the Vampire, serving up another tale of friendship, magic, and self-discovery. Give both books to readers who fell in love with Tidesong or Witch Boy! Garlic loves spending time with Witch Agnes, Carrot, and her new friend, the Count, who has proven to be a delightful neighbor to the village of vegetable people rather than a scary vampire. But despite Agnes's best attempts to home-brew a vegetarian blood substitute for Count, the ingredient she needs most can only be found at the Magic Market, far from the valley. Before she knows it, with a broomstick in hand, Garlic is nervously preparing for a journey. But Garlic is experiencing another change too-finger by finger, she appears to be turning human. Witch Agnes assures her that this is normal for her garden magic, but Garlic isn't so sure that she's ready for such a big change. After all, changes are scary…and what if she doesn't want to be human after all? (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

It's summertime in Baneberry Falls and Drago has just found out that they will be heading to Witch Camp to learn about spells, magic, and other things they really don't have any use for. As long as their vampire besties Eztli and Quintus are there with them, they can at least be miserable together. At camp, however, Eztli and Quintus end up hitting it off with the human campers, who are mean to Drago. Feeling alienated and alone, Drago decides to ditch camp altogether. Off grounds, they stumble onto an abandoned miniature golf course that's housing a supernatural entity with sinister intentions of overtaking Witch Camp. Drago may not like camp or the kids who go there, but if this evil force has its way, there won't be a camp or campers left to hate. Digging deep into the depths of their soulless soul, Drago must summon the courage to face the supernatural forces threatening to overtake the camp. But without their friends by their side, can they do it? (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.

This thought-provoking limited palette graphic novel by the co-creator of Mooncakes explores big questions through the eyes of an aspiring inventor and the lifelike AI she finds herself falling for. Clementine Chang moves from Earth to Mars to start over. On the first day of her dream job working for Dr. Marcella Lin, an Artificial Intelligence pioneer, Clem meets Dr. Lin's assistant, a gorgeous, yet cold humanoid AI named Kye. Sure, Clem has built her own robot-a cute moth-shaped companion named SENA-but Kye feels almost… human. When Clem and Kye begin to work together, their chemistry sets off sparks. The only downside? Dr. Lin won't allow Kye to become more independent. And their relationship is causing Clem to question everything she knows about her work. After all, if Kye is sentient enough to have feelings, shouldn't he be able to have his own thoughts? Where is the line between AI and human? As her future and her past weigh down on her, Clem becomes determined to help Kye break free-even if it means risking everything she came to Mars for. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels
