When Meesh banded together with Fairy Princess Nouna to save the underworld, she never expected she'd have to... do it again someday. Though, as Meesh grows into her newly discovered destiny as the Guardian of the world, she figured there would be a few minor rescues, maybe some crime-fighting here or there. But before long, her new friend Chai's family is forced out of their home by an evil force who threatens to destroy all of fox-kind if they dare stay. Meesh suspects the same masked villain she faced before is behind all of this, but will she be able to stop them before it's too late? Softcover, 5-in. x 8-in., 304 pages, full color.

1st printing. Story and art by Michelle Lam. A tale of unlikely heroes and myths are made real in this debut graphic novel series about a "bad" demon trying to find her place in the underworld-but she'll have to save it first! Meesh is a bad demon. "Bad" in that she always sees the good in those around her-which isn't how a demon is meant to feel or act. Bullied by the other demons, twelve-year-old Meesh is more likely to be found reading magazines from Plumeria City-the fairy realm-and fangirling about the fairy princesses. But when disaster strikes and all of demon-kind is threatened, Meesh must journey to other worlds in search of help. As luck would have it, she meets a fairy princess right away. Things in the fairy realm aren't so perfect either, though. There's much more to being a demon than she ever realized, and learning to love herself might just uncover the secret to saving her home. Hardcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 304 pages, full color. All Ages Cover price $21.99.

Unfortunately, that power is too much for Turos to bear and his mark is transferred to his daughter, Sephie. What does the sigil mean? How did they both come to get it? What type of power does it bring? And with Turos out of the way, how can Sephie stop her Uncle from fulfilling his dreams of conquest? Follow Sephie's plight as she is whisked away from her homeland and realizes it is now her responsibility to find her way home to save her people from the oncoming invasion by Cadador.

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.
