OWN YOUR UNIQUE FIZEEK!

From the color of your hair to the shape of your nose, from your favorite treats (ice cream, anyone?) to the things you'd rather skip (homework-ugh!), and even your special talents (yes, your superpowers!)-every part of you was designed on purpose, for a purpose. All these wonderful traits come together to create the one and only, beautiful YOU! This is your unique Fizeek-and it's worth celebrating!

Because there is no one exactly like you, no one else can share your superpowers in the same way you can. But sometimes you might not want to share them. Sometimes it's scary to stand out or stand up for what you believe in. And sometimes you may not know what your superpowers are or see them as God-given talents to use in the world to make it better.

And that's okay.

Join me, Dr. Tiff, to learn how to discover your superpowers, strengthen your unique Fizeek, and own what makes you so amazing!

When Sera Watkins and her family arrive at their summer house on Cape Cod, she has one goal in mind: protect her heart from the boy who broke it, her next-door neighbor, Luke Tisdale. The problem is, Luke still has a piece of her heart--literally. When Sera received a new heart as a baby, the healthy valves of her old heart were given to Luke. Forever bonded, Luke and Sera grew up together spending sun-soaked days swimming at their secret beach and painting at art camp.

Then, two summers ago, their friendship almost turned into something more. Key word: almost. Because one fateful night, everything changed. Sera's health took a turn for the worse. A family secret sent Luke spiraling. And they weren't there for each other when it mattered the most.

Now Sera is ready for a fresh start, which means no more pining over the boy next door. But Luke has grown up a lot since she last saw him, and the chemistry she felt two summers ago? It's still there. Sera isn't sure she's brave enough to risk it all again, but when she gets some difficult news, she realizes there's no time to waste. Maybe it's finally Luke and Sera's moment, their chance to enjoy the sweet kiss of summer together--before it's too late.

In this beautiful graphic novel, a teen is tested when she falls for another camper at a Christian sleepaway camp, sparking feelings she was taught to suppress. As she grapples with the rigid expectations of her faith, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery that challenges her deepest beliefs.

Summer camp is supposed to be a place to find yourself, but when you're sent to a Christian sleepaway camp, that can be hard to do. Hemmed in by how she presents herself at school, and the expectations of her pastor father, Meg finds it hard to know just how she feels about herself... let alone how others feel about her.

When Meg runs into Danny, a soft and charming boy who also comes to the camp every summer, her feelings start to flourish. Unfortunately, with these feelings come questions. How is she supposed to fulfill the role she is supposed to play when her heart and her faith are both questioning?

This gorgeously illustrated graphic novel speaks to complexity of faith, while also exploring the power of first loves and the complicated feelings they can bring.

Charlie Green is the most popular fashion influencer in Nautville until her followers find out she gained her following through mind control.

When her himbo boyfriend breaks up with her publicly, he reveals her 'Glitch.' The companies drop their contracts with her quicker than she can say 'viral, ' and her following count dwindles way too close to double digits.

Fallen from fame, she joins a reality dating show for Glitches in a desperate attempt to gain back her fame. She becomes quick friends with a tech heiress with invisibility and a villain with poisonous plant powers; and she becomes quick enemies with 'The Pretty Power Posse, ' a girl with pink laser vision, a girl with iridescent hair, a girl who creates violet light beams, and another who manipulates scents.

She'll rebrand herself, gain back fame, and embrace her Glitch, all while attending cyber punk fashion shoots and extravagant dates in the clouds. And that's the only reason she joins, she's certainly not going to fall in love on a silly reality dating show.

It's all fine until the morning that A wakes up in the body of Justin and meets Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon. From that moment, the rules by which A has been living no longer apply. Because finally A has found someone they want to be with--day in, day out, day after day. But can Rhiannon love someone who is destined to change every day?

For the first time on the page, A's epic story will be brought to life as a graphic novel, with illustrations by Dion MBD.

It's the end of the world. Six students have taken cover in Cortege High but shelter is little comfort when the dead outside won't stop pounding on the doors.
