The greatest thing

Searle, Sarah Winifred,


It's the first day of sophomore year, and now that Winifred's two best (and only) friends have transferred to a private school, she must navigate high school on her own. But she isn't alone for long. In art class, she meets two offbeat students, Oscar and April. The three bond through clandestine sleepovers, thrift store shopping, and zine publishing. Winifred is finally breaking out of her shell, but there's one secret she can't bear to admit to April and Oscar, or even to herself -- and this lie is threatening to destroy her newfound friendships.

Now, Peril is loyal to Clay, the only dragonet who has ever been her friend. So when Scarlet threatens Jade Mountain Academy, Peril sets off to find her former queen, stop her, and save the day, no matter what it takes.

She can't escape her firescales, and she can't escape her reputation as the deadliest dragon in Pyrrhia. So when she's offered a chance to trade everything for a new life, Peril has to decide who she's really loyal to . . . and whether her own scales might actually be worth saving"--Amazon.

The skateboard life : movers, shakers, makers & rulebreakers : the quintessential story of skateboard culture

Williams, Neftalie.


"Skateboarding is more popular than ever. In the last five years, and especially, since the twenty twenty Olympics, where skateboarding debuted as an official sport, skateboarding has gone mainstream, and it will keep getting bigger and bigger. The sport was put on the map in the late seventies when legendary skater Rodney Mullen created one of the most famous skateboarding tricks, the ground Ollie, and became popularized in the early eighties when Thrasher magazine, with its counterculture vibe, was established, and, then, in nineteen eighty two, a little known skater named Tony Hawk came onto the scene at just fourteen years old, changing the face of the sport forever. Since then, skateboarding has gained traction, but was always portrayed from a one dimensional perspective, when in reality, the sport and the stories of prominent skaters are extremely diverse. Enter The Skateboard Life. Through sixty five dynamic profiles of skaters and over a hundred striking images, Dr. Neftalie Williams reveals how skateboarding has permeated every inch of our global culture, Media, Art, Fashion, Music, Business, and Education. From the legends, Tony Hawk and Paul Rodriguez, to the Olympians, Nyjah Huston and Sky Brown, to the artists, Mark McKee, most celebrated skateboarding artist of all time, to the activists, Briana King, Vogue model, artist skater, and women's and queer skateboarding advocate. Never before has this mega roster of skaters been featured together. In addition to the profiles, there will be interstitials that include famous skate parks around the world and the coolest looking boards. The Skateboard Life will appeal to skaters of all levels, dreamers, beginners, and experts alike"--Provided by publisher.

Frontera

Anta, Julio,


As long as he remembers to stay smart and keep his eyes open, Mateo knows that he can survive the trek across the Sonoran Desert that will take him from Mexico to the United States. That is until he's caught by the Border Patrol only moments after sneaking across the fence in the dead of night. Escaping their clutches comes at a price and, lost in the desert without a guide or water, Mateo is ill-prepared for the unforgiving heat that is sure to arrive come sunrise. With the odds stacked against him, his one chance at survival may be putting his trust in something, or rather someone, that he isn't even sure exists. If you'd asked him if ghosts were real before he found himself face-to-face with one, Mateo wouldn't have even considered it. But now, confronted with the nearly undeniable presence of Guillermo, he's having second thoughts. Having spent his afterlife guiding migrants to safety, Guillermo knows things about the Sonoran Desert far beyond what could be explained by a mere hallucination. But even as Mateo forms an uneasy partnership with Guillermo, survival is still uncertain. The Sonoran Desert, with its hostile temperatures and inhabitants, is teeming with danger as the Border Patrol and rogue militias prowl its deadly terrain. As his journey stretches on, Mateo will have to decide exactly what and who he's willing to sacrifice to find home.

Ralph Azham. Vol. 1 (of 4), Black are the stars /

Trondheim, Lewis,


Translated from the French. Originally published by Éditions Dupuis Ralph Azham 1--Est-ce qu'on ment aux gens qu'on aime?, Ralph Azham 2--La mort au début du chemin, Ralph Azham 3--Noirs sont les étoiles. Chapter 1 : why would you lie to someone you love? -- Chapter 2 : death at the beginning of the road -- Chapter 3 : black are the stars. "From the award-winning mind of cartoonist Lewis Trondheim comes the expansive and rich anthropomorphic medieval world of Ralph Azham. After failing the test of the Chosen One as a young duck, Ralph had a tough time growing up as the village pariah, often getting into trouble due to an innate extra sense that's rather unbelievable, embarrassing, and unfortunate. That was only compounded by the constant visit of spirits that only he, Ralph, could see. Cut to today, his village is threatened by a vicious Horde, an apocalyptic flood may take the life of Ralph's only supporter, his father, and the Wise Men's Counsel are out for Ralph's hide after rumors he had his way with one of their daughters. Ultimately Ralph must leave the village and unlock the secrets of his childhood as he journeys to the Kingdom of Astolia, but not before he takes a young ward, Raoul, who bears an uncanny similarity to Ralph. It's a sprawling story of fathers and their sons, magic, mysticism, with plenty of action, adventure, and signature Trondheim madcap humor."--Provided by publisher.
