Book Description
Book two in this acclaimed graphic series explores intolerance through a relatable--and empowering--cast of middle-grade cryptids, immigrants, and outsiders. In human disguise, the Lizk't family of Elberon is now comfortably settled in Eagle Valley as the all-American Tomkins family. While his older sister is madly in love with her job and her perfect human boyfriend, Tommy Tomkins has new friends who understand what it means to be an outsider, especially Dung, whose family immigrated to America. When they find a treehouse in the woods, it seems like the perfect space where they can all be themselves--whether a Sasquatch, a girl made of snakes, or a robot from the future. And when they learn that Dung's family will soon return to Vietnam, the friends vow to have the Most Perfect Summer Ever in his honor. But when Tommy's face, the real one, turns up in an episode of Eagle Valley Paranormal, the hidden truth threatens to emerge, and a not-so-perfect Eagle Valley summer becomes a chance for a lizard boy to shine. Jonathan Hill's graphic series captures the nuances of middle-grade life with energy, insight, and ample comic relief, proving that a united front--and sharing origin stories to keep the past alive--are a timeless antidote to intolerance.

A lonely boy’s new pet grows into a rather large dilemma—and a Thanksgiving parade offers an uplifting solution—in this charming tale from the author of The Boy and the Airplane and The Girl and the Bicycle. When Leonard takes a shortcut through the park, he finds an egg and takes it home, where it hatches into a lizard (or so Leonard thinks). Leonard names his new pet Buster and takes him all around the city: on the subway, to the library, to a baseball game, and more. But Buster keeps growing and growing—and Leonard gets the sense that Buster is longing for something Leonard can’t provide. Before long, Buster becomes too big to keep, and Leonard realizes he needs to set Buster free. So Leonard comes up with an inventive plan, one that involves all the balloons Leonard can find and the annual Thanksgiving parade, in an imaginative plot twist that will spark readers’ imaginations—and touch their hearts.
