MEANING OF LIFE NEW PTG

(W) Jimmy Gownley (A) Jimmy Gownley (CA) Jimmy Gownley

Amelia McBride may be growing up, but she's feeling down. If there's one theme to her life, it's that nothing lasts: not her parents' marriage, not Aunt Tanner's support, not the clubhouse for the Gathering of Awesome Super Pals (G.A.S.P.), not even her new spot on the stupid cheerleading squad. And while she's learning all kinds of things about foot fungus, cheerwitches, and Reggie-who thinks Rhonda is CUTE?!-there's still one thing Amelia can't figure out, and that's the meaning of life. It takes a grownup sort of tragedy for Amelia and her friends to realize that even when the world is scary, and life is as mystifying as ever, some things-like friendship-do last. In Jimmy Gownley's touching seventh installment of Amelia Rules!, Amelia may not find all the answers-but she does know how to ask the right questions. Who needs answers, anyway?

AMERICAN BORN CHINESE SC NEW PTG

(W) Gene Luen Yang (A) Gene Luen Yang (CA) Gene Luen Yang

Jin Wang is the only Chinese-American student at his new school. Jocks and bullies pick on him constantly; then he falls in love with an all-American girl. Adored by his subjects, master of the arts of kung-fu, the Monkey King is the most powerful monkey on earth. But the Monkey King doesn't want to be a monkey; he wants to be hailed as a god. Danny is a basketball player, a popular kid at school, but every year his cousin Chin-Kee comes to visit, and every year Danny has to transfer to a new school to escape the shame. These three apparently unrelated tales come together with an unexpected twist, in a modern fable that is hilarious, poignant, and action-packed.
