Kristian would have failed algebra if it hadn't been for Brad tutoring him in algebra.

Brizzy's Fuzzy Sweater ​The garden is full of giants, but the smallest one holds the most magic. ​Pip used to think the low, steady rumble in the flowerbeds meant something grumpy was coming his way. He'd shiver and pull his shoulders high, waiting for a monster to emerge from the shadows of the red poppies. Then he met Brizzy. ​She isn't scary. She's a round, dancing ball of golden velvet who has a very important job to do. When Brizzy wiggles out of a bluebell flower, she isn't just dusty-she's wearing her "fuzzy yellow sweater." To Pip, it looks like speckles; to Brizzy, it's the pollen that keeps the garden from being lonely. ​Why you should read this: ​A New Perspective: Watch Pip's fear melt away as he realizes the scary "buzz" is actually the garden's own song. ​Nature's Tiny Gardener: Discover how one little bee makes the apples, berries, and nuts we love to eat. ​Friendship in Small Places: A gentle reminder that the Earth is a better place because of our fuzzy, hardworking friends. ​From the sweet taste of a sun-warmed strawberry to the way flowers wake up in the spring, Pip learns that Brizzy and her friend Zay are the heroes of the hedgerow. It's a story about curiosity, the magic of growing things, and why we should never be afraid of a tiny girl in a yellow sweater. ​Inside the Garden: ​The Rumble: It's not a grumble; it's a melody of hard work. ​The Magic Dust: How pollen turns flowers into seeds and fruit. ​The Hive: The busy home where Brizzy and Zay share their nectar buckets. ​"Without me and my friends, the flowers would be lonely and new ones wouldn't be able to wake up next spring."

The American comics scene at large is an example of a children's industry that started catering to a small number of adults over time. A case where one shouldn't mistake something for actual maturity.

Night after night, I've been hearing mysterious sounds from under my bed. Taps. Scrapes. Bumps. Maybe an occasional hiss. After a while, I grew used to the sounds, and I decided that I wouldn't let the resident monster under my bed scare me. But everything changed the night it decided to speak.

Long ago, the Kingdom of Alagil was cursed by a Dragon for their greed and lust for power, the Royal Family having seized the entirety of Gold Thread she made for the public, keeping it for themselves. The Dragon gave the Royals sixteen years to better themselves and teach their heir to the thone to be an honest, caring individual. If the Princess was coronated with a selfish heart everyone in the castle who had done wrong to the people would die. The top three Witches of the court decided on a plan to save the Princess and everyone else included in the curse, taking the spindle it is bound to and altering the curse so that, if it struck, they would all fall into an eternal slumber. Fifteen years later, Briar Rose is shocked to learn that the biggest threat to her daily life isn't Dragons swooping down from the sky to eat her or dying from boredom out in the middle of the woods. It's a curse that can lead to her whole countries decimation. Having been born with the Gift for Magic, she was trained to be a Curse Breaker by proclamation of High King Henric himself and now knows that her Godmothers have been preparing her to fight the Curse the Dragon bestowed at that ill-fasted Ball all those years ago. With one year to get the most practical experience possible in Curse Breaking, Briar Rose heads out with the map her Godmothers gave her, tracking down places of extreme curses while they head back to Skyfort, the castle where the cursed spindle resides, to protect it from those who would inadvertently worsen the curse they struggled to amend. Will she succeed at breaking the Curse and make her life her own or is the magic of Dragons to much for a Mortal to hope to overcome?
