Enchanted Lion Books The Day I Lost My Superpowers

Michal Escofer
Illustrated by Kris Di Giacomo
Childhood is a magical time when even the stu of the day-to-day is exciting and the ordinary often seems extraordinary. Part of this magic is that with just a little imagination, we all might be found to possess true superpowers! This isnt the rst or last book where a child delightedly discovers her own superpowers. But it may be just about the driest, funniest, and sweetest, where the discovery is handled with humor and charm. One of the books true pleasures is that its a girl who discovers her own extraordinary abilities, and when her powers fail, as they must, she discovers them in her mom. All of which leads to a lovely intimacy between the two. Michal Escoer was born in France in 1970. Raised by a family of triceratops, he discovered his passion for writing and telling stories at a young age. He lives in Lyon, France, with his wife and two children. Born in Brazil of American parents, Kris Di Giacomo is a popular childrens book illustrator who has lived in France for a long time. After living in the United States for a while, she moved to France, where teaching English to young children and discovering French picture books were the triggers that led her to try her hand at illustrating stories. Kris has illustrated a good twenty-ve books, many of which have been published in many languages.
Having discovered her own superpowers, our little heroine is poised to discover them in others too. Most especially, her mom!

Ramona B adescu
Illustrated by Benjamin Chaud
Here, for the rst time, Pomelo leaves the safety of his garden, the only home hes ever known. Having found the courage to set o on an adventure, he takes to the road on a journey of self-discovery, hoping to nd other elephants and clues about his origins. In these pages, Pomelo hears, sees, smells, and feels things hes never before experienced. And most miraculously of all, he learns about Papa and Mama. Indeed, he nds much more than he ever hoped or dreamed he would. Pomelo Begins to Grow was a New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 2011. Of Pomelo Explores Color, Pamela Paul wrote in the New York Times: Its a book thats worth a secondand a third, and a fourthlook. And of Pomelos Opposites, Sarah Harrison Smith wrote in the New York Times: One of the pleasures of this latest book . . . is that although it is witty and occasionally profound, it doesnt feel pitched at adults. . . . Pomelos Opposites is the kind of book that can be enjoyed, at its simplest level, for its charming drawings and warm colors, but theres more to be found on repeated readings. Ramona Ba descu was born in Romania in 1980. She arrived in France at the age of eleven and started to write for children ten years later. She has written many wonderful books for children of all ages and currently lives in Marseille, France. Benjamin Chaud lives and works in the south of France.

Engine Books Looking for Jack Kerouac

Barbara Shoup
It wasnt Duke Walczaks fault that I took o for Florida, like Kathy thought. The truth is, we started getting sideways with each other on our class trip to New York and Washington D.C. nearly a year earlierwhich, looking back, is ironic since she was the one dead set on going. From the author of Wish You Were Here and Stranded in Harmony (American Library Association Best Books for Young Adults), and Vermeers Daughter (a School Library Journal Best Adult Book for Young Adults). In 1964, Paul Carpetti discovers Jack Kerouacs On the Road while on a school trip to New York and begins to question the life he faces after high school. Then he meets a volatile, charismatic Kerouac devotee determined to hit the road himself. When the boys learn that Kerouac is living in St. Petersburg, Florida, they go looking for answers. Barbara Shoup is the author of seven novels and the co-author of two books about the ction craft. She is the recipient of numerous grants from the Indiana Arts Council, two creative renewal grants from the Arts Council of Indianapolis, the 2006 PEN/Phyllis Naylor Working Writer Fellowship, and the 2012 Eugene and Marilyn Glick Regional Indiana Author Award. She was the writer-in-residence at Broad Ripple High School Center for the Humanities and the Performing Arts in Indianapolis for twenty years. Currently, she is the executive director of the Indiana Writers Center.

Ig Publishing Domestic Arrangements

Norma Klein
Introduction by Judy Blume
Originally published in 1982, Domestic Arrangements is the story of a fourteenyear-old New York teen named Tatiana, an unintentional ingnue who becomes notorious for lming a nude scene for a major movie. Tatianas newfound famewhich includes interviews, magazine covers, and publicistsis set against the backdrop of an increasingly adult personal life, as her parents le for divorce, her sister becomes increasingly jealous of her siblings success, and she must choose between her teenage boyfriend and new, older loves. A stunning example of Norma Kleins fearless take on the complexities of adolescence, Domestic Arrangements is an indelible portrait of a girl on the cusp of adulthood, learning to balance the challenges of life in the spotlight with love, family, and friendship. This edition features a brand new introduction by Normas long-time friend, renowned childrens author Judy Blume. Norma Klein was best known for young adult works that dealt with family problems, childhood and adolescent sexuality, as well as social issues like racism, sexism, and contraception. Her rst novel, Mom, the Wolf Man and Me (1972), was about the daughter of an unmarried, sexually active woman. Her subsequent works included Sunshine, Its Okay If You Dont Love Me, Breaking up, and Family Secrets. Because of their subject matter, many of her books sparked considerable controversy, and a 1986 American Library Association survey found that nine of her novels had been removed from libraries. In an interview that same year with the New York Times, Klein said, Im not a rebel, trying to stir things up just to be provocative. Im doing it because I feel like writing about real life. She died in 1989 at the age of fty.
What happens when a fourteen-year-old who has just made her rst moviecomplete with a tasteful nude scenetakes her rst lover?

Ruchi Mhasanes gift for comic composition perfectly complements Annie Besants humorous text. The lush images, sweeping vistas, and remarkable close-ups add to the whimsical nature of the tale.
