When Cecily Bain, an enforcer for the Twin Cities’ vampiric elite, takes a mysterious new vampire, Alejandra, under her wing, she’s dragged into an insidious conspiracy. After learning a disturbing fact about her fake childe’s past, Cecily must keep her secrets close, and Ali at arm’s length. As she searches the streets of the Twin Cities for answers, a terrifying possibility surfaces: perhaps Ali has learned the ways of the Kindred better than Cecily herself. Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the cities, Colleen Pendergrass, embraced by her husband against her will, and a rebellious found-family of vampire cast-outs investigates a vicious killing.

About The Book:

For fans of Gene Luen Yang’s American Born Chinese and Svetlana Chmakova’s Awkward, this funny yet poignant middle-grade coming-of-age story highlights the struggle of feeling invisible while yearning to be seen by all. 

Kevin Lee is having a really bad week. Although he lives in a crowded Toronto apartment above the family’s alterations and dry-cleaning store, he mostly goes unnoticed. Dad has been MIA since the divorce. Mom works nonstop. He and his sister, Betty, just don't seem to get along anymore. Then there's PoPo (his grandma), who moved from China to look after them all. She's full of wisdom but calls him Zhu Zhu ("Little Pig") and is totally embarrassing.

School isn’t exactly an oasis either. There, Kevin is known as “Egg Boy” and often finds himself at the mercy of school bully (and budding crush) Lilly. When Kevin’s class plans a trip to Wonderland, a spectacular new theme park, will he finally have a chance to turn his life around, or will it just be another day for Kevin Lee?

In this debut middle-grade graphic novel, cartoonist and animator Ray Xu tells a semi-autobiographical tale, with gorgeous, painterly coloring and expressive, manga-like cartooning that captures the poignancy and humor of being a 10-year-old. And when Kevin’s imagination and budding artistic visions take center stage, Xu’s storytelling changes from muted realism to a flashy science fiction comic-book style. Readers ages 8 to 12 will appreciate how the boundaries between realistic fiction and the imagination are shown to be thin indeed.

About The Book:

The End of the World is coming!

In a broken future governed by the oppressive Technocrats and their parasitic technology, enslaved warrior Animkii's mind is a battleground for control. After an act of sabotage shatters her bondage, she faces a dire mission: ridding herself of the invasive tech implanted inside her before it consumes her remaining humanity. Seeking salvation, she forms an uneasy alliance with Mica Stone, a troubled black-market recycler, whose dreams hold the power to awaken an ancient alien god known as the After Lord.

Fleeing the bloody machinations of the After Lord's dark cult, Animkii and Mica embark on a perilous odyssey that takes them out of the dystopian depths of the undercity and into the remote and icy WItherlands. There, amidst the ruins of an ancient world, they face a force that hungers for more than just flesh and bone.

With reality crumbling and Earth's survival at stake, a battle between two worlds begins, leaving Animkii and Mica to confront the ultimate question: can they retain their humanity in a world on the brink of oblivion, or is the end of the world inevitable?

About The Book:

“They will make you a mother of monsters . . .”

A village built on ancient promise. A woman destined to run.

The old ways are crumbling. Every spring, a new sacrifice is chosen—a Spring Maid bred to

seed the future of the village through a ritual before being led to the foreboding woods. But this

season will mark the end of a barbaric tradition and the birth of something even more horrifying.

There’s a war coming—one of gods and giants. The Spring Maid has been chosen by a force far greater than her to be the mother of great warriors.

Destiny has forged a path of bloodshed, and she is the center of it all, willingly or not.

But she is no Spring Maid, no sacrifice to be made.

She is Berja.
