The Picks:

Ember And The Island Of Lost Creatures GN – Harper Alley debuts a new graphic novel about friendship and self-discovery. Ember is a tiny boy living alone in a city of giants. He longs to find some place where he fits in. When he meets Lua, a kindly sea turtle, his dream may have come true when she escorts him across the ocean to the mysterious Puzzle Island. Here, Ember explores lush forests, deep caves and fantastical life as he attends the school for little creatures there. His classmates don’t seem to want to be his friends at first, leaving Ember to struggle to adapt to his new home. He finds himself at the heart of an otherworldly mystery and facing a strange creature from the deep that threatens everything he holds dear. While his classmates seem of little help, appearances can be deceiving, and friendship can come from the most unexpected of places. Fans of Hilda and Over the Garden Wall will enjoy this tale of adventure and finding your place.
