![]() ![]() The Stolen Moon, the thrilling sequel to Lost Planet by Rachel Searles, is an exciting science fiction adventure perfect for Star Wars fans. Chase, Parker, Lilli, android Mina, and the solider Maurus are fighting for their lives, the lives of Lennard and his crew, and for the truth about what Asa has in store for the universe. There are only two people who may have the key to their abilities, and their purposes: Captain Lennard, who is harboring Chase and Lilli (and Chase's friend, Parker) on his spaceship, and Asa Kaplan, who may be responsible for an interplanetary takeover meant to push Lennard out of power. Chase can "phase"-pass through objects, and Lilli can "transport"-send a copy of herself to other locations, even other planets. He doesn't remember his past, but Lilli does-she remembers their parents, and life before their planet was destroyed. ![]() Chase has been reunited with his younger sister, Lilli. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Naomi and Ely are like a younger Will & Grace, full of witty banter and extremely close, and of course, totally co-dependent and wrong for each other. The main conflict, of course, is that Naomi still harbors a childhood crush on Ely - she's certain that they were destined for one another, and the fact that Ely has been openly and proudly gay for the last few years hasn't put a dent in her affections. The aftermath is awkward all around for everyone in the building. ![]() The past year has been rocky for them, as Naomi's father destroyed their family with an illicit affair with one of Ely's lesbian moms. Naomi and Ely are best friends who have grown up across the hall from each other in a chic New York high-rise apartment building. I picked it up because I had love, love, loved Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist written by the same authors. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Pearls Before Swine cartoonist’s frequent black-and-white illustrations help to cast Timmy’s adventure in an appropriately ironic light. ![]() …Readers should be simultaneously amused and touched by this quirky antihero. Pastis has assembled an eccentric and funny cast (running gags revolve around Total’s voracious appetite and a librarian who looks like one of the Hells Angels), yet there are also touching interactions to be found. Lincoln Peirce, creator of the Big Nate series For Timmy Failure, success is the only option! Pastis crafts a great story starring an unforgettable protagonist whose unorthodox approach to detective work (and world domination) will have readers in stitches. It's original and quirky, with real heart. Timmy Failure is a fabulously fun read and the line drawings are a treat.
