-Titulo Original : The Last Kids On Earth-Fabricante : Viking Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: A Netflix Original series! The first book in the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling series, with over 7 million copies in print! Terrifyingly fun! Delivers big thrills and even bigger laughs.--Jeff Kinney, author of the #1New York TimesbestsellerDiary of a Wimpy Kid Ever since the monster apocalypse hit town, average thirteen year old Jack Sullivan has been living in his tree house, which hes armed to the teeth with catapults and a moat, not to mention video games and an endless supply of Oreos and Mountain Dew scavenged from abandoned stores. But Jack alone is no match for the hordes of Zombies and Winged Wretches and Vine Thingies, and especially not for the eerily intelligent monster known only as Blarg. So Jack builds a team: his dorky best friend, Quint; the reformed middle school bully, Dirk; Jacks loyal pet monster, Rover; and the fiercest girl Jack knows, June. With their help, Jack is going to slay Blarg, achieve the ultimate Feat of Apocalyptic Success, and be average no longer! Can he do it? Told in a mixture of text and black-and-white illustration, this is the perfect series for any kid whos ever dreamed of starring in their own comic book or video game. From School Library Journal Gr 3-6-An apocalyptic monster attack has destroyed the town of Wakefield, leaving gigantic, slime-filled creatures in its wake. It appears that the entire population has been turned into zombies, except for 13-year-old Jack Sullivan. Jack is an abandoned foster kid trying to survive the catastrophe while living in a tricked-out tree house. In his daily fight for survival, which includes hand-to-hand combat using makeshift weapons, he locates two of his fellow students. Ones a science geek, and the others an oversize school bully. They unite to form a small army and set off to rescue a classmate they believe is trapped in their decimated school. The chapter book/graphic novel hybrid is fast moving and action packed. Loaded with outrageous devices such as a rolling ball of zombies, a revenge-filled creature with bad eyesight called BLARGH, and a monster-dog name Rover, this book provides loads of laughs. The characters are fully developed and honest in their adolescent interactions. Yet what sets this story apart from the typical gross-out fare is how these modern-day action heroes work through their emotions, which include love, loss, and extreme fear. Dynamic pencil sketches add to the hilarity. For readers looking to make the transition from chapter books to graphic novels, this is a foolproof initiation. VERDICT A gross-out good time with surprisingly nuanced character development.-Sada Mozer, Los Angeles Public Library Review Terrifyingly fun! Max Bralliers The Last Kids on Earth delivers big thrills and even bigger laughs.--Jeff Kinney, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Diary of a Wimpy Kid * Middle-grade readers, particularly boys, will find Jack’s pitch-perfect mix of humor, bravado, and self-professed geekiness impossible to resist. . . .

Snarky end-of-the-world fun.--Publishers Weekly, starred review * This book provides loads of laughs. . . . A gross-out good time with surprisingly nuanced character development.--School Library Journal, starred review The video-game-like plotting, gross-out humor, frequent pop-culture references, and quippy dialogue make this a great fit for reluctant readers.

The Herons are home in Skandia-preparing to celebrate two of their own and working on sea trials in the newly constructed Heron. But during a short excursion, they encounter an Iberian pirate ship raiding the coast of Sonderland, so Hal and his crew take action. Though the Herons quickly triumph, the Iberians voice their fury at the Herons, vowing to take revenge. And soon they do-raiding the harbor and stealing or destroying as many ships as they can. Though there is little proof the Iberians are behind it, the Herons take their ship, the only one that has survived the raid-and race after their enemy in hot pursuit. They will take down these pirates and get justice-no matter what. Climb aboard with the Herons in The Stern Chase, the exciting ninth installment of the Brotherband Chronicles! About the Author John Flanagan ( WorldofJohnFlanagan ) grew up in Sydney, Australia, hoping to be an author. And after a successful career in advertising and television, he began writing a series of short stories for his son, Michael, in order to encourage him to read. Those stories would eventually become The Ruins of Gorlan, Book 1 of the Rangers Apprentice epic. Together with his companion series, the Brotherband Chronicles, the novels of John Flanagan have sold millions of copies and made readers of kids the world over. Mr. Flanagan lives in the suburb of Mosman, Australia, with his wife. In addition to their son, they have two grown daughters and four grandsons. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Hal smiled to himself as the Heron cut smoothly through the water, rising and falling gracefully; swooping over the small, even waves and sending showers of spray high into the air on either side of her bows as she sliced down into the troughs. It was good to feel the slight vibration in the tiller and the surge of the deck under his feet once more. He and his crew had spent the winter building this new Heron, and he was enjoying being back at sea, and in command. They were off the Sonderland coast, well to the west of Hallasholm, carrying out final sea trials on the new ship. Shes definitely faster than the old Heron, he commented to Stig, who was standing close by, keeping an eye on the taut curve of the sail. His first mate smiled. Thats only to be expected, he said. Shes two meters longer on the waterline. Hal nodded. The extra length would make the ship faster through the water. But he had also had time to experiment with the cut of the sails-to shape them and reinforce them with extra seams so they formed a smoother, more efficient curve when the wind filled them. In addition, he had increased the height of the mast and yardarms, so the new ship carried more sail than the old. All in all, he thought, it was a good result. But there was one thing that bothered him slightly, and that was one of the reasons they had put to sea-to test the new ship under a variety of conditions and see if she would deliver maximum performance. Coming about! he called to Ulf and Wulf, who were crouched amidships by the sheets and halyards that controlled the sails. Wulf signaled that they had heard him and were ready. Tack! he called, putting the helm over and swinging the ship into the eye of the wind. The twins brought the current sail down to the deck and hoisted its opposite number as the ship turned. There, thought Hal, sensing a slight hesitation as the bow came around. But she had enough speed and momentum to carry her through the maneuver, and within seconds, the new sail had filled with a dull, booming sound and was driving her firmly on the opposite tack, the slight hesitation left behind. But, still, he thought, it had been there. He had first sense...

-Titulo Original : A Pocket For Corduroy-Fabricante : Viking Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of Corduroy, Don Freemans story of a beloved teddy bear and his friend Lisa, which has sold millions of copies and delighted children all over the world. In this sequel to Corduroy, Lisa takes her toy bear to a Laundromat, where he goes on a soapy adventure! Now, this childrens classic is available in board book format, perfect for even the youngest of readers. About the Author Don Freeman was born in San Diego, California, in 1908. At an early age, he received a trumpet as a gift from his father. He practiced obsessively and eventually joined a California dance band. After graduating from high school, he ventured to New York City to study art under the tutelage of Joan Sloan and Harry Wickey at the Art Students League. He managed to support himself throughout his schooling by playing his trumpet evenings, in nightclubs and at weddings. Gradually, he eased into making a living sketching impressions of Broadway shows for The New York Times and The Herald Tribune. This shift was helped along, in no small part, by a rather heartbreaking incident: he lost his trumpet. One evening, he was so engrossed in sketching people on the subway, he simply forgot it was sitting on the seat beside him. This new career turned out to be a near-perfect fit for Don, though, as he had always loved the theater. He was introduced to the world of children’s literature when William Saroyan asked him to illustrate several books. Soon after, he began to write and illustrate his own books, a career he settled into comfortably and happily. Through his writing, he was able to create his own theater: I love the flow of turning the pages, the suspense of whats next. Ideas just come at me and after me. Its all so natural. I work all the time, long into the night, and its such a pleasure. I dont know when the time ends. Ive never been happier in my life! Don died in 1978, after a long and successful career. He created many beloved characters in his lifetime, perhaps the most beloved among them a stuffed, overall-wearing bear named Corduroy. Don Freeman was the author and illustrator of many popular books for children, including Corduroy, A Pocket for Corduroy, and the Caldecott Honor Book Fly High, Fly Low...

-Titulo Original : The Snowy Day Board Book-Fabricante : Viking Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: The magic and wonder of winter’s first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keat’s Caldecott Medal-winning picture book. This celebrated classic has been shared by generations of readers and listeners, a must-have for every child’s bookshelf and a perfect gift for the holiday season.

And suddenly, with the water, out came the long slimy newt straight into the glass, plop! The Trunchbull let out a yell and leapt off her chair as though a firecracker had gone off underneath her. She stared at the creature twisting and wriggling in the glass. The fires of fury and hatred were smouldering in the Trunchbull’s small black eyes. “Matilda!” she barked. “Stand up!” “Who, me?” Matilda said. “What have I done?” “Stand up, you disgusting little cockroach! You filthy little maggot! You are a vile, repellent, malicious little brute!” The Trunchbull was shouting. “You are not fit to be in this school! You ought to be behind bars, that’s where you ought to be! I shall have the prefects chase you down the corridor and out of the front-door with hockey-sticks!” The Trunchbull was in such a rage that her face had taken on a boiled colour and little flecks of froth were gathering at the corners of her mouth. But Matilda was also beginning to see red. She had had absolutely nothing to do with the beastly creature in the glass.

Even when their own child is the most disgusting little blister you could ever imagine, they still think that he or she is wonderful. Some parents go further. They become so blinded by adoration they manage to convince themselves their child has qualities of genius. Well, there is nothing very wrong with all this. It’s the way of the world. It is only when the parents begin telling us about the brilliance of their own revolting offspring, that we start shouting, “Bring us a basin! We’re going to be sick!” School teachers suffer a good deal from having to listen to this sort of twaddle from proud parents, but they usually get their own back when the time comes to write the end-of-term reports.

-Titulo Original : The Last Kids On Earth And The Zombie Parade-Fabricante : Viking Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: A Netflix Original series! The second book in the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling series, with over 7 million copies in print! Terrifyingly fun! Delivers big thrills and even bigger laughs.--Jeff Kinney, author of the #1New York TimesbestsellerDiary of a Wimpy Kid The zombies are disappearing. This might seem like a good thing, since zombies eat your brains, but normal human kid Jack Sullivan is suspicious. He keeps hearing an eerie shrieking noise that seems to be almost summoning the zombies-but to where, and for what (probably) foul purpose? Jack, his three best friends (maybe the only people left on Earth), and their pet monster Rover need to get to the bottom of this. Along the way they encounter a lot more than they bargained for, including a giant Wormungulous, a pizza parlor monster hangout, an ancient evil who destroys worlds, and a stereo system that is totally the bomb. Can Jack figure out why the zombies are vanishing . . . before he and his friends are next? Told in a mixture of text and black-and-white illustration, this is the perfect series for any kid whos ever dreamed of starring in their own comic book or video game. From School Library Journal Gr 3-6-Readers met 13-year-old abandoned foster kid-turned-monster slayer Jack Sullivan and his adolescent makeshift army in The Last Kids on Earth. In this excellent sequel, the zombies are mysteriously disappearing. As the zombies walk in droves toward a shrieking sound, their brains are being sucked out of their skulls. While no fan of the undead, Jack and his squad set out to solve the mystery. New alliances are formed and trusts are broken, culminating in an all-out monster brawl to save their world. The continuation of this hybrid series capitalizes on gross-out fun. The realistic writing style keeps the narrative moving at a fast pace, while the frenzied pencil artwork supports its humorous tone. But what distinguishes this adventure is the character development. The members work through their fears of loss, abandonment, and loneliness to unite as a family. The language is sophisticated, geared toward readers who enjoy rousing adventures. The open ended conclusion allows for the possibility of more exciting exploits. A gallery highlighting various nefarious creatures is an added treat. VERDICT For fans of the first book, this sequel does not disappoint. This series is a must-have for middle grade collections.-Sada Mozer, Los Angeles Public Library Review A New York Times bestseller This series is a must-have for middle grade collections.--School Library Journal The likable cast, lots of adventure, and gooey, oozy monster slime galore keep the pages turning.--Booklist Jacks witty narration and Holgates pitch-perfect illustrations make for a terrific read thats particularly well suited for middle-grade boys who might otherwise be reluctant to pick up a book. . . .
