BEWARE THE SOCK MONKEY. "In a world where monsters and fairies roam the backyard, one gnome seeks to save his true love from an experiment gone terribly awry! You will find within the pages of this book the diary entries of one Dr. Harry Gnome, mad scientist. Here there be sock monkeys. You have been warned." One crazy spring, NY Times bestselling author Alethea Kontis and Eisner Award winning artist Janet K. Lee created an illustrated twitter serial about Dr. Harry Gnome, a pint-sized mad scientist with the luck of Victor Frankenstein. Dr. Gnome's diary is chock full of rabbits, ray guns, zombies, and sock monkeys. Before there were Dapper Men and Fairy Godmothers, there was Harry Gnome.

Trixter (The Trix Adventures)

Trix Woodcutter is the long prophesied Boy Who Talks to Animals. He's also a foundling prankster scamp who places his family under a sleeping spell so that he can run away from home. Compelled by a vision of his dead birthmother, Trix departs on the eve of a Great Catastrophe, only to find himself caught in the maelstrom. Armed with little more than his wits and the wisdom inherent in all fey-blooded youth, Trix confronts a legendary Animal King, faces off against a ghostly feline, rescues a damsel in distress, and discovers more about himself than he ever wished to know. And this adventure is only the beginning.

In March 2020, the world shut down. That same month, a few thousand Snow Patrol fans from around the globe met Gary Lightbody online to write songs. Together they created 13 songs in 12 weeks, and a fabulous 5-song EP-The Fireside Sessions by Snow Patrol and the Saturday Songwriters-was born. Connections were made during that time. Friendships developed. Long after the 2020 sessions completed, the community of Saturday Songwriters continued to flourish. Patchwork Poetry and Other Gibberish by the Saturday Songwriters contains over 100 poems, prose, and works of art by 39 Songwriters from over a dozen countries. In addition, each of the contributors has graciously included answers to a personal profile questionnaire, so that the world may learn a little bit more about some of the beautiful souls that make up the Saturday Songwriters.
