Ninjago Volume 2: Mask of the Sensei – Originally a Lego building set, Ninjago has taken on a life of its own with not only a TV series but also new graphic novel adventures! The masters of Spinjitsu, Cole, Zane, Jay and Kai, have defeated the evil Garmadon and are looking for a little R&R. But the peace in the world of Ninjago is shattered when the ninja are attacked by the one foe they can’t possibly hope to defeat: Sensei Wu—their own teacher! Ninjago combines the popularity of Lego minis with ninjas, making for a killer combo with kids. With lots of fun, adventure, and maybe even a lesson to be learned, this series will be a big hit with elementary school readers.

Secret World of Arrietty Picture Book HC – Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli return with another stunning story for children of all ages, based on the classic story The Borrowers by Mary Norton. Arrietty is a Borrower, a tiny person who lives under the floorboard of a house with her family, where they “borrow” things they need from the humans who live in the house. Arrietty longs for adventure, but it is too dangerous. When Arrietty is discovered by a human boy named Shawn, she and her family are put into danger. She and Shawn must work together to save her family and maybe find a friendship never before imagined. Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli work their magic to create a story that is entertaining to all ages. While this book is best suited to elementary libraries, don’t be surprised if older siblings and parents take a peek as well!
