    1st printing.

    Story and art by Eric Gapstur.

    Eleven year-old Wyatt Flynn had something amazing happen to him: he got superpowers! Good ones too, like super flight, super strength, and superspeed. The only problem? Wyatt got his superpowers totally by mistake (in a Marvel style "accident" at his dad's work) and his dad thinks he's too young to have superpowers.

    Plus his dad also worries what would happen if everyone found out... so he makes Wyatt hide them.

    Keeping his superpowers a secret from his best friends Beto and Nara is bad enough, but not being able to use them to defend himself and his friends from the biggest bully at school... that's just the pits if you ask Wyatt.

    As Wyatt tries to navigate middle school and deal with his newfound sort of super status, he also grapples with questions about the mysterious disappearance of his mother. Where did she go, and what would she think about his accidental superpowers?

    Hardcover, 6-in.x 9-in., 240 pages, full color.

    Cover price $20.99.

    Volume 1 - 1st printing. "The Magma Cup!" Story and art by Eric Gapstur. Wyatt and his sister Adeline are determined to investigate an extinct volcano hundreds of miles from home that Adeline believes to be related to their mother's mysterious disappearance. At first it seems like an impossible mission until they realize there's a summer camp conveniently situated near the base of the volcano. So it's off to summer camp for Wyatt, Adeline, and their buddies Beto and Nara. But when they get there, they find it impossible to sneak away from the heavily chaperoned grounds. Opportunity presents itself by way of the Magma Cup, the camp's tournament-style series of mental and physical competitions where the finalists compete in an overnight-and less chaperoned-scavenger hunt on the volcano itself! Hardcover, 5-in.x 7-in., 288 pages, full color. Cover price $22.99.

    Story Spinners GN (2025 Aladdin Books) 1-1ST

    1st printing. Story and art by Cassandra Federman. Big sister Kennedy and little sister Devon couldn't be more different. Their shared room has a clear divide down the middle. On one, musical theater-loving Kennedy keeps things tidy. On the other, heavy metal fan Devon looks like she lives in an exploded toy store. When baby sister Eve moves in, her contribution is crying. Constant. Ear-piercing. Crying. The added stress pushes the older girls to their breaking point, and they get into their biggest fight yet. In response, Mom and Dad crack down, seizing all beloved electronics until Kennedy and Devon can find a way to get along. Now stuck together with no distractions except Eve's screaming, the two land on a desperate solution: tell Eve a bedtime story so epic that it puts her to sleep and gets her big sisters out of trouble. Pizza aside, the only thing the girls have in common is their love of stories. But Kennedy's fairy tales make Devon want to barf, and Devon's nonsensical adventure stories make Kennedy want to tear her hair out. So they try to mash-up a story of true love, adventure, princesses, pirates, pirate-princesses, dragons, spiders, and... garbage trucks? Will their hilarious fairy tale remix solidify their sisterly bond or break it forever after? Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8-in., 208 pages, full color. Cover price $12.99.
