When Dinah stumbles into trouble, the two friends will need to work together to ensure they both make it home safe. Then Nick goes to his friend Hedy’s birthday party. But without enough money to buy a gift, he learns he has other talents he can put to use to make a truly unforgettable celebration. Fans of Zootopia will be thrilled to finally have an official Disney Comics release while younger readers will enjoy seeing Judy and Nick when they were their age.

Hocus and Pocus 1Comic Quests Volume 1 Hocus & Pocus The Legend Of Grimm’s Woods GN – Quirk Books introduces a new innovative series for middle grade readers. Hocus & Pocus are sent to help two parents locate their children who have disappeared into the Grimm’s Woods, where fairy tales come to life with gingerbread houses, and a girl dressed in red. A hybrid of Choose Your Own Adventure stories, role playing games, and graphic novels, Hocus & Pocus gives readers the autonomy to choose to follow either Hocus or Pocus and to make decisions for them. Along the way, they can choose a magical animal friend, collect items, meet unusual characters and battle wild animals. It’s an interactive series that will appeal to reluctant readers and anyone who enjoys making a fun story.
