Nuft and the last dragons. Volume 1

By Milton, Freddy, author | 2021

View in TRACPac

Sometimes poignant and sometimes slapstick, in this collection of Danish comics stories, Nuft and his family are pitted against prejudice, scheming slumlords and all-seeing robot overlords! This debut volume collects the stories "The Nufts Move In," in which the dragon family trades its rural ways for a new life in the big city - but the tenement they move into is not only falling apart, it's plagued by poltergeists! In "Trouble on George Street," Nuft gets a job at City Hall but quickly discovers that the whole thing is teetering on the verge of collapse! And in "The Great Technowhiz," the Technowhiz watches over all the city's functions - but who watches over the Technowhiz? Plus a special collector's bonus - Freddy Milton's very first 8-page Nuft tale. With personal commentary and insight by Freddy Milton.

Lily's promise

By Erskine, Kathryn. | 2021

View in TRACPac

Shy, eleven-year-old Lily made her dad an important promise before he passed away--that she would "Strive for Five" and speak her mind at least five times. But speaking up one time, let alone five, is easier said than done. It'll be even harder now that Lily must attend public school for the first time. Fortunately, she meets curling-obsessed Hobart and quiet Dunya at the beginning of sixth grade. Their kindness gives Lily hope that life without Dad might just be bearable. But when Lily and her friends are bullied by Ryan and his mean clique, she quickly discovers the true meaning of friendship and speaking out. Despite the anxiety she feels, Lily knows she needs to stand up for herself and others. And she'll use the tools her dad gave her to not only keep her final promise but bring her whole school together. Following Lily's journey and the snarky, insightful, and humorous commentary from Libro, the actual book, who guides readers through this thoughtful tale, makes Lily's Promise a strong title for social emotional learning.
