-Titulo Original : Passport-Fabricante : Little, Brown Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: An unforgettable graphic memoir by debut talent Sophia Glock reveals her discovery as a teenager that her parents are agents working for the CIA. Young Sophia has lived in so many different countries, she can barely keep count. Stationed now with her family in Central America because of her parents work, Sophia feels displaced as an American living abroad, when she has hardly spent any of her life in America. Everything changes when she reads a letter she was never meant to see and uncovers her parents secret. They are not who they say they are. They are working for the CIA. As Sophia tries to make sense of this news, and the web of lies surrounding her, she begins to question everything. The impact that this has on Sophias emerging sense of self and understanding of the world makes for a page-turning exploration of lies and double lives. In the hands of this extraordinary graphic storyteller, this astonishing true story bursts to life. From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up-In this graphic memoir, Glock looks back on her teenage years. Fifteen-year-old Sophia is used to starting over: Shes lived in nine apartments and attended eight schools in six countries. Now a high school junior in Central America, Sophia reads a letter from her older sister Julia to their parents, and the puzzle pieces click into place as she realizes that their parents are spies. She continues to keep their secrets, even as she copes with adolescent growing pains: navigating friendship, wanting independence from her parents, failing to hide a crush. She also confronts bigger challenges, such as the death of a classmate and effects of Hurricane Mitch (which remind her of living through a coup detat in another country). Yet as an American, Sophia is sheltered from the tragedies she sees and is somewhat troubled by her privilege (It was like being there…but not really there at all). The palette-largely pale, orange-tinted pink and lavender-gray with occasional splashes of red or deep shadow-subtly reminds readers that this story is being told in retrospect. Fittingly, Sophia ends her story by starting over. Again, this time with her arrival at college. Sophia and her family are white.

-Titulo Original : XO, Exoplanet-Fabricante : Little, Brown Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: When the planets spot something new in the galaxy, they start a letter-writing exchange that gets a little heated (for a planet) over just who gets to be called what and why. This funny fiction also teaches about planets, exo and otherwise. -TODAY From bestselling author Deborah Underwood comes a lively and heartwarming letter writing exchange between all the planets in outer space to show the power of perspective. It was an ordinary day for Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, (and dont forget Pluto, the dwarf planet). The planets were circling the Sun, staring into space, until suddenly they spot something else in their Solar System. What could it be? Who could it be? The planets have no idea but theyre circling to find out. Whatever it is that something is most definitely, absolutely, without a doubt NOT a planet. So begins an out-of-this-world pen pal exchange between the planets and an exoplanet: Dear Exoplanet, We are excited to have you in the galaxy! XO, Planets Dear Planets, It is nice to hear from you! But what is an exoplanet? Does it mean excellent planet? XO, Exoplanet Paired with vibrant illustrations from Jorge Lacera, this STEM-friendly story, told mainly through letters, reminds readers what happens when we consider another persons point of view. From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 2-Planets from our solar system send letters of love and friendship to an exoplanet, learning that different perspectives provide opportunities to grow. Bright digital art depicts anthropomorphized planets with fashion statements and personalities to match. Saturns large eyeglasses mirror its rings, while Uranus wears a knitted cap as its colder than other planets since its farther from the sun. Jupiter, larger than all the others, dictates letters like a CEO. Underwood weaves in the definition of an exoplanet clearly, and the pun of signing XO as missives fly back and forth in space express rockets creates great read-aloud moments. The crux of the story, whether our solar systems planets are the exoplanets or the other planet is the exoplanet, causes disruption. A comet resolves it by pointing out how this is based on point-of-view. Comparisons of which planets are big or small, hot or cold, are discussed in relation to the sun, and this provides a teachable moment in differences and conflict resolution. A scientific note is included. VERDICT A delightful purchase that creates accessible paths to learning more.-Rachel Zuffa, Case H.S., Racine, WIα(c) Copyright 2011.

Dont miss the the other books about Crankenstein!CrankensteinTrick or Treat, Crankenstein Review Praise for A Crankenstein Valentine: A humorous story... My 5-year-old has me reading this book to her again and again. The New York Times Praise for Crankenstein: Expect many re-read requests from Crankensteins who may (or may not) recognize themselves. Publishers Weekly Will the creature ever turn from MEHHRRRR! to merry? Youngsters will roar along with Crankenstein through this silly and sympathetic story of grumpy-grouchies. School Library Journal Whoa. Be prepared for the intense frustrations, the moody outbursts and the green scowls of Crankenstein...Each setting reveals sly comic elements that both kids and their grown-ups will appreciate. Readers will laugh out loud...Get ready to read this aloud a lot. Kirkus Reviews Sometimes-when you have to go to school, when you have to take cough syrup-all there is to say is MEHHRRRR!... This is a No, David! for slightly older kids... The Horn Book The text of this book is simple but effective: Crankenstein, who is green and none too pretty, but distinctly boy-like, never says a proper English word, but responds to all cheerful questions with loud monster-speak noises. Berger...has a well-honed sense of comic timing that little kids find hilarious, and Crankenstein, with its many exclamation marks, growls and grumbles should unleash the actor in any adult kind enough to read it aloud. To convey Crankensteins crabby mood, Santat uses a lot of sickly brown and green. But just when the reader has had about enough of that putrid palette, Crankenstein meets another monster, and like two negative numbers, they come together to make something positive. As temperaments brighten, so too do Santats scenes, which are suddenly sunny. For the sake of Crankensteins poor parents, lets hope the weather holds!
