Olive Cobin Zang è una dodicenne straordinariamente ordinaria, abituata a passare inosservata a scuola e a sentirsi invisibile a casa. Immaginate la sua sorpresa quando, una mattina, viene convocata improvvisamente in presidenza: le viene comunicato che sta per trasferirsi con effetto immediato al CERUMI, che – a dispetto del nome buffo e quasi disgustoso – è un collegio molto esclusivo situato su un’isola al largo della baia di San Francisco. Le lezioni si tengono in una fortezza che un tempo era una prigione e che oggi viene chiamata “il Fosco Maniero”. Il collegio nasconde qualcosa e Olive scoprirà presto che altro non è che una segretissima accademia in cui vengono reclutati e formati i nuovi agenti segreti che andranno a rinforzare una cerchia ristretta di paladini della giustizia. Insieme a Philomena, detta Phil, fissata con gadget e robotica; James, matematicamente geniale; Iggy, schiva ma letale nelle arti marziali, e Theo, talmente rilassato da sembrare sempre tra le nuvole, Olive formerà la banda Misfit, un gruppo di adolescenti disadattati pronti sventare i piani dei criminali più insidiosi. È impossibile non tifare per questa brillante e variegata squadra di spie. La banda Misfit è un romanzo che con la sua strabordante energia narrativa incarna profondamente l’anima della collana Dinamo. Avventura e azione, mistero e umorismo si intrecciano in una storia che con leggerezza e profondità celebra la diversità e il senso di appartenenza, senza mai rinunciare al ritmo, allo stupore e al divertimento.

*Winner of the National Book Award for Young People's Literature* A middle grade graphic memoir based on bestselling author and Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat's awkward middle school years and the trip to Europe that changed his life. Dan's always been a good kid. The kind of kid who listens to his teachers, helps his mom with grocery shopping, and stays out of trouble. But being a good kid doesn't stop him from being bullied and feeling like he's invisible, which is why Dan has low expectations when his parents send him on a class trip to Europe. At first, he's right. He's stuck with the same girls from his middle school who love to make fun of him, and he doesn't know why his teacher insisted he come on this trip. But as he travels through France, Germany, Switzerland, and England, a series of first experiences begin to change him—first Fanta, first fondue, first time stealing a bike from German punk rockers... and first love. Funny, heartwarming, and poignant, A First Time for Everything is a feel-good coming-of-age memoir based on New York Times bestselling author and Caldecott Medal winner Dan Santat's awkward middle school years. It celebrates a time that is universally challenging for many of us, but also life-changing as well. Praise for A First Time for Everything: "This is Santat at his best." ―Horn Book "[A] relatable story of self-discovery... the perfect balance of humor and poignancy." ―Kirkus, starred review

From a New York Times–bestselling author and Caldecott Medal-winning artist, this story of a royal race car driver is “a shot of gleeful adrenaline” (Publishers Weekly (starred review). Once upon a time there was a Princess. . . . who made a pit stop. While the Birds and Beasts changed her tires, her Fairy Godmother told her she was in last place! With just one lap left! She might as well give up! Give up? Not THIS princess! Instead, she hit the gas! Join Her Royal Highness in the driver’s seat for a mad dash to the finish in this exciting ode to auto racing. With appearances by fable and fairy tale favorites including the Tortoise and the Hare, the Frog Prince, and ALL of the Wicked Witches, this rollicking mash-up of race cars and royalty is a true celebration of both girl power and horsepower. “The full-page illustrations are saturated with color and express the action so vividly readers will nearly hear the roar of the racetrack. The emphasis on the Princess’ racing skill and zeal for her sport is empowering and refreshing.” —Kirkus Reviews “With its breakneck speed and massive number of storybook references, The Princess and the Pit Stop is sure to be a story time favorite.” —Shelf Awareness
