Art by Mike Wieringo, Steve McNiven, George Perez, Tom Simmons, and Jordi Ensign. This trade paperback continues the adventures of Sephie, a young adventure hero. Sixteen-year old Sephie lives on a world where cities float in the sky and ships travel through the air. Her city, Meridian, is a city with an economy based on shipbuilding and made up of the finest craftsmen. She's on a journey home after surviving what should have been her death: falling from the sky, but the sigil has granted Sephie some wonderful powers and she is able to survive both the fall and the betrayal of the Minister of Akasia. Sephie is being held prisoner in the dye vats of that city, but manages to escape, facing monstrous dangers on her route back to Meridian. She narrowly avoids encountering her Uncle Ilahn, whose sigil blazes red as he destroys, while hers glows gold as she renews. When Sephie learns she can fly, a whole new range of possibilities for heroism are opened to her, and she rises to each occasion. Softcover, 192 pages, full color. Cover price $19.95.

Written by Nurit Zarchi. Art by Rutu Modan.

In a gorgeously retro-illustrated re-imagining of "The Little Mermaid," Israeli author Nurit Zarchi and illustrator Rutu Modan bring us the poignant story of a worrywart named Whatwilltheysay, whose life is turned upside down by the spunky mermaid who shows up in his bathtub one day. Through vibrant, retro-inspired images we meet an ordinary young man named Whatwilltheysay, who returns home to find Grain of Sand, a mermaid, waiting for him. Although he finds her beautiful and charming, Whatwilltheysay can't possibly fall in love with a fish - what would people say?! Broken-hearted, Grain of Sand leaves Whatwilltheysay to return to his normal life. But soon he realizes his mistake and goes to sea in search of the love he's nearly lost.

An entrancing illustrated story for readers ages five to ten, The Mermaid in the Bathtub finally brings into English a treasure of modern Israeli children's literature.
