It’s summer vacation, and Cedric is ready for sunny beaches, cool drinks, and not being in school! His plans for the perfect summer are derailed however when the Xiliens decide to invade. Alien attacks, maybe-evil robots, and the return of the scariest monster Cedric’s ever had to face has Cedric, his friends, and all of Earth’s protectors scrambling to fight back! They need Godzilla! If only they could find him. This extra-length issue of Godzilla: Monsters & Protectors is the perfect summer read for middle graders.
Marshmallow Martians Earth School GN – Random House Books for Readers releases the second volume in this silly series for young readers. The Marshmallow Martians are a group of curious aliens who can’t get enough of planet Earth! Without G.L.O.W., their Galactic Learning Online Whiz (which is a fancy way of saying “computer”), Snug, Squishy, Woof and Fuzz have to go somewhere else to find out about Earth bugs. They turn to the place where all the cool kids learn: Earthling school! They meet Syd, who teaches them about lunchboxes, recess, and gym. This graphic chapter book will entertain young readers while helping them gain confidence in reading.
