      Aj jediná knižka môže v správnych rukách znamenať dobrodružstvo. Vezmite si knihu, nechajte tu knihu. Alebo oboje. To si jedného dňa na tabuľke pri malej knižnici, ktorá sa cez noc nečakane zjavila v parku mestečka Martinville, prečíta piatak Evan. Keď si zo skrinky, na ktorú dozerá veľký ryšavý kocúr Mortimer, vytiahne dve polorozpadnuté knihy, ani netuší, ako sa mu život čoskoro obráti naruby. Spolu s kamarátom Rafem rýchlo objavia súvislosť medzi jednou zo starých kníh a dávnym požiarom, o ktorom nikto z dospelých nechce hovoriť. Najmä Evanov otec, ktorý sa začne správať mimoriadne zvláštne... Podarí sa chlapcom vypátrať, čo sa pred dvadsiatimi rokmi naozaj stalo?

      In this gorgeous graphic novel by Wendy Xu, co-creator of the award-winning Mooncakes, a young inventor falls for a lifelike AI and confronts questions of freedom and autonomy. Clementine Chang moves from Earth to Mars for a new start and is lucky enough to land her dream job with Dr. Marcella Lin, an Artificial Intelligence pioneer. On her first day of work, Clem meets Dr. Lin's assistant, a humanoid AI named Kye. Clem is no stranger to robots--she built herself a cute moth-shaped companion named SENA. Still, there's something about Kye that feels almost too human. When Clem and Kye begin to collaborate, their chemistry sets off sparks. The only downside? Dr. Lin is enraged by Kye's growing independence and won't allow him more freedom. Plus, their relationship throws into question everything Clem thought she knew about AI. After all, if Kye is sentient enough to have feelings, shouldn't he be able to control his own actions? Where is the line between AI and human? As her past and Kye's future weigh down on her, Clem becomes determined to help him break free--even if it means risking everything she came to Mars for.

      Sophie is a young witch whose mother and grandmother pressure her to attend the Royal Magic Academy--the best magic school in the realm--even though her magic is shaky at best. To train for her entrance exams, Sophie is sent to relatives she's never met. Cousin Sage and Great-Aunt Lan seem more interested in giving Sophie chores than in teaching her magic. Frustrated, Sophie attempts magic on her own, but the spell goes wrong, and she accidentally entangles her magic with the magic of a young water dragon named Lir. Lir is trapped on land and can't remember where he came from. Even so, he's everything Sophie isn't--beloved by Sophie's family and skilled at magic. With his help, Sophie might just ace her entrance exams, but that means standing in the way of Lir's attempts to regain his memories. Sophie knows what she's doing is wrong, but without Lir's help, can she prove herself?
