Book Description
Jack might be the only kid in the world who's dreading summer. But he's got a good reason: summer is when his single mom takes a second job and leaves him at home to watch his autistic kid sister, Maddy. It's a lot of responsibility, and it's boring, too, because Maddy doesn't talk. Ever. But then, one day at the flea market, Maddy does talk—to tell Jack to trade their mom's car for a box of mysterious seeds. It's the best mistake Jack has ever made. In Mighty Jack, what starts as a normal little garden out back behind the house quickly grows up into a wild, magical jungle with tiny onion babies running amok, huge, pink pumpkins that bite, and, on one moonlit night that changes everything...a dragon.

Like a bolt from the blue, Jack's little sister Maddy is gone—carried into another realm by an ogre. When Jack and Lilly follow Maddy’s captor through the portal, they are ready for anything . . . except what they find waiting for them in the floating crossroads between worlds. Even the power of their magic plants may not be enough to get them back to earth alive. Alone and injured, Jack and Lilly must each face their own monsters—as well as giants who grind the bones of human children to feed their “beast” and a fearsome goblin king in the sewers down below. But when Jack finds himself in a tough spot, help comes from the most unlikely person: the goblin king! Ben Hatke, the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Zita the Spacegirl, concludes his latest middle-grade fantasy-adventure graphic novel series, Mighty Jack, with the energetic finale to his retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk.

Wilf worries quite a lot. About quite a lot of things. Well, if we're being totally honest, he worries about almost everything. Stuffed animals for instance. And peanut butter makes him nervous, too. And, as for those awful insects that have waggly feeler thingies instead of eyes? Well, they're something he can't even bear to think about. So, when the most evil man in the world (named Alan) moves in next door one day, Wilf is understandably rather alarmed. Especially after he learns that Alan is a self-styled Evil Lunatic, with his own grumpy robot sidekick to complete the package. Wilf's only ally in his desperate struggle to put a stop to Alan's plan to destroy the world is his sticky little sister, Dot. Can Wilf stop worrying for long enough to save the world?
