My Mom Is the Best Circus

This humorous story celebrates mom as the best one-woman show on earth as she juggles everything that goes on during the day--she's a ringmaster, a wild beast tamer, a magician, and sometimes a clown. But her best stunt of all is the sandman show, when it's time for a good-night story.
Luciana Navarro Powell's colorful, humorous illustrations are a perfect complement to her spirited, rhyming text.

Bushman Lives!

"What Pinkwater does is magic, and I'm grateful for it." --Neil Gaiman (about" The Neddiad")
Is Bushman the gorilla alive? According to the papers, he died a long time ago. Why is he so important to the high school senior and aspiring Great Artist Harold Knishke? It's a hot summer in 1960s Chicago, and people are on the streets late at night, including the Chicken Man and Molly the dwerg. While reading this hilarious young adult novel (with illustrations by Calef Brown!) teens will ask themselves, "Why am I reading this?" and "Is Harold about to embark on a voyage of great adventure?" He is.

Pirates vs. Cowboys

It is a sad and sorry day when Burnt Beard the Pirate and his scurvy crew swagger into Old Cheyenne looking to bury their treasure. Black Bob McKraw--terror of the Wild West--and his posse don't take too kindly to pirates invading their town. And to add insult to injury, the pirates and cowboys can't understand a lick of what the others are saying. None of them cowboys speak Pirate, and none of them pirates speak Cowboy. Who will save the day before these sorry--and stinky!--bilge rats and yellow-bellied varmints draw their cutlasses and six-shooters?
From the creator of the hilarious "Creepy Carrots, " comes the story of a simple misunderstanding that almost meant the end of Old Cheyenne.
