For Nate Wright, conflict is a way of life. He tangles with Gina, the editor of the school newspaper, after she rejects his comic strip. He can’t get on the same page with his snooty study partners as they cram for the final exam. And once he hears that Mr. Rosa’s job is on the line, Nate even takes on the all-powerful school board. But when a challenger threatens Nate’s status as the owner of P.S. 38’s filthiest locker, our hero may have met his match. Can he win the slob-off and bury Kyle under the ash heap of history? In this brandnew collection of comics, Nate is definitely NOT messing around.

In this hauntingly delightful and highly illustrated tale, eleven-yearold Otto and his mom move to Monsterton, a gorgeous island on the border of the Belcarra forest and a mysterious place called The Dark. Monsterton is picturesque and beautiful; it's an idyllic place for monsters to be themselves. There's Hamish and his brother Ben, who have been created and sewn together by their pirate father; the royal vampires, Red and Rose, who are followed around by their dutiful guards; Remi, a ghost girl who can appear and disappear at will; Darby, a quiet girl made entirely of slime; and Luck, a zombie who always she thinks she's right. In Monsterton, each monster can be themselves. They are free to be as scaly, slimy, or scary as nature intended.
There's only one teeny, tiny problem. Otto and his mom aren't monsters. Can Otto fit in with the monsters and stay true to himself?
This spooky, delightful, and charming full-color, highly illustrated novel is perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Five Nights at Freddy's. Debut author Danielle McKechnie weaves compelling lore and storytelling with delightful characters brought to life by illustrator Simón Estrada.
After defeating “the Curse,” twelve-year-old Matt just wants to relax. But Dad has another idea—Matt needs to “build some character,” whatever THAT means. So, Matt ends up a pet sitting for his neighbor, Farmer Jed. Easy enough, right? WRONG. In fact, it’s downright baaaaaaad.
The “pet” in question is Nora, an old goat with glassy eyes and short tail. Farmer Jed says she’s “special.” Matt’s pretty sure, however, that the most impressive thing about Nora is how far her eyes can roll into the back of her head.
While trying to keep track of Nora and all her mysterious actions, Matt is also helping his girlfriend Grace with her Science Fair project, attending both soccer and Cross-Country practice, and, oh yeah, trying to avoid some scary guy named Jason who seemingly wants to enact perilous revenge on young Matt. More on that guy later. So much for "time to relax"!
Matt Sprouts and the Day Nora Ate the Sun is a laugh-out-loud funny book with over 50 black-and-white illustrations by bestselling author Matt Eicheldinger. The text expertly weaves heartwarming moments with laugh-out-loud scenes.

On Stix's first day of sixth grade, his anxiety is off the charts. It doesn't help when he spots a kid who reminds him of his old bully, Xander Mack. Soon after, he encounters two other students who take a keen interest in him. He quickly learns the spooky truth—the trio are lost souls in need of help. When the ghosts tell him they've been stuck in middle school for decades, it's up to Stix to figure out how to help these not-so-normal new friends.
Three middle school girls—Misha, June, and Ollie—have already completed writing one book set in the fictional land of Deltovia, but just as they are on the verge of literary stardom, they've got a bigger problem: The school district lines at Lake View Middle School are set to change, meaning their best friends could suddenly be in a different school next year. Meanwhile the plot in their next story involves a strange laboratory called The Epsilon Facility which is holding all kinds of mysterious experiments that could lead to all kinds of danger. While the two stories seem wildly different on the surface, the two worlds are more closely related than it may initially seem. What can these three friends do to stop the lines and investigate the Epsilon facility? Join Misha, June, and Ollie on their high-stakes writing journey to find out!

Four kids. Four pins. Four superpowers. One dark secret.
Angela, Sophie, Travis, and Skylar are four normal middle schoolers. Angela and her dad just moved in with her future stepmom, but the wealthy neighborhood is not what's she used to, and relations with the future stepmom are tough. Sophie lives in the shadow of her twin sister, Becca, and wants to find her own identity. Travis is his track team's star, but he's starting to think that video game coding (and his best friend) might be a LOT more interesting. Skylar is trying to help their family make ends meet . . . but sometimes, they're stretched too thin.
After a mysterious explosion in the night, each of the four kids receives a limited-edition fantasy enamel pin. What's more, it gives them superpowers! As the new friends work together to figure out where the pins came from and untangle their own lives, they discover a secret at the nearby theme park that might not be so fun after all.
In Search of Superpowers is the first in an all-new adventure series, Fantasy Pin World Adventures. It's perfect for fans of Amari and the Night Brothers, The Marvellers, and of course, enamel pin collectors.
