(Starred)
A teenage cop from a high-tech future is sent back in time
to 1986 New York City. Dayoung Johansson is investigating the Quintum Mechanics
megacorporation for crimes against time. As she pieces together the clues, she
discovers the ""future"" she calls home - an alternate reality version of 2014 -
shouldn't exist at all!
Dayoung Johansson is a 15-year-old with attitude-and a jet-pack-wearing cop
from the future! When a team of physicists at a corporate research lab switch on
their experimental time machine in 1986, Dayoung bursts through the chamber and
demands they stop their research. Their discoveries, she claims, set off a
domino effect that leads to a future ruled by dirty megacorporation Quintum
Mechanics, a future so bleak that she's willing to totally dismantle it. But
NYPD cops in 1986 don't take kindly to a punk kid in a jet pack, and
Dayoung-affectionally dubbed Rocket Girl after she performs a handful of daring
rescues-quickly finds herself on the wrong side of the law. Flashbacks to the
future (surprisingly logical) reveal, however, that she may be just a pawn in
Quintum Mechanics' decades-spanning power-grab. Reeder does a stellar job of
packing the cantilevered panels with bursts of bright, punchy color and clearly
depicted, cinematic action, and her characters are refreshingly diverse in race,
gender, and body type. Dayoung herself is notably free of the pernicious
oversexualization that plagues so many girl superheroes in contemporary comics.
With a complex, engaging story and beautiful artwork, this superb throwback
series is the perfect fit for teen fans of superhero comics, particularly girls
eager for a realistic-looking hero.

Micah's beloved grandfather is gravely sick, but all is not lost.
Years ago, his grandfather visited a mysterious circus where he
was promised a miracle by a man who could bend light. But who is
this stranger, will he keep his promise, and does the magical Circus
Mirandus really exist?
In a post-apocalyptic world where no-one lives beyond their teenage years, the mysterious Roxanne arrives in Cyrus’s village, fleeing the barbaric Zeds. She claims to be on a mission that can save them all, but can she be trusted? Cyrus joins her in her quest for the legendary Soterion, but the Zeds are determined to get there first.
Enter the Mirrorscape - an amazing world limited only by the artist's imagination...Fulfilling the dream of a lifetime, Melkin Womper is apprenticed to a master painter, Ambrosius Blenk. Son of a village weaver, Mel is over-awed by the master's richly coloured and vividly detailed paintings. He is particularly amazed by the colours, because there are no colours back home. To have colour in your life, you have to buy the Pleasure, and the sinister scarlet-robed Fifth Mystery own the rights to such Pleasures. Soon, Mel and his new friends Ludo and Wren find themselves caught in a power struggle between the Mystery and the master. One that involves stepping through paintings into a world where the bizarre is commonplace and all logic is irrelevant. A world where angels, pyramid mazes, imaginary monsters, talking houses and - most importantly - the simple paintbrush all combine to form a hugely original and deeply compelling fantasy. This is a thrilling adventure filled with fantastical creatures in an incredibly visual secret world.
A monstrously funny debut from the new star of middle-grade adventure.
