Summary

Fourteen-year-old Preston Craft is organizing a film festival for his school's film club. When one of the films goes missing two days before the festival begins, Preston is convinced it was stolen and is determined to get it back. The only indication of the theft is a suspicious shadow that Preston noticed right before he discovered the film was gone—but Preston is legally blind and no one quite believes him. However, not unlike the gritty private eyes in the classic black-and-white films he adores, Preston refuses to give up. Can he solve the mystery based on such a shady clue?

    “The princes Charming reunite for another slapstick, kingdom-saving quest” in an illustrated children’s adventure series that’s “funny and full of heart” (Kirkus). 
     
    Prince Liam. Prince Frederic. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. You remember them, don't you? They're the Princes Charming, who finally got some credit after they stepped out of the shadows of their princesses—Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White, and Briar Rose—to defeat an evil witch bent on destroying all their kingdoms.  
     
    But alas, such fame and recognition only last so long. And when the princes discover that an object of great power might fall into any number of wrong hands, they are going to have to once again band together to stop it from happening—even if no one will ever know it was they who did it. 
     
    This hilarious, action-packed adventure is the sequel to Christopher Healy’s The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom, which the New York Times selected as one of its best books of the year.

    “Miéville, known for his genre-defying fantasy novels for adults, makes a splash with his picture book debut . . . a subversive delight.” —School Library Journal Two sisters sit down one morning and begin describing all of the really gross things that were in the worst breakfast they ever had, until all they can picture is a table piled sky-high with the weirdest, yuckiest, slimiest, slickest, stinkiest breakfast possible. And then they have the best breakfast ever . . . almost.A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2016A Mississippi Clarion-Ledger Bestseller “This is a child’s imagination come to life, where a good thing can be the greatest thing in existence and a minor inconvenience snowballs into the most horrendous, atrocious, appalling, not good, very bad meal you’ve ever had.” —San Francisco Book Review “Miéville and Smith’s dialogue is fantastic: witty, smart, with great rhythm that doesn’t sacrifice artful turns of phrase to reach for an internal rhyme . . . A brilliant, original, infinitely rereadable book that can sit alongside Sendak and Dahl.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Miéville lets it rip in this stomping, howling rant about a bad meal of legendary proportions.” —Publishers Weekly “Imaginative and fun, The Worst Breakfast is perfect for any picky eater out there. A rhyming scheme and inventive text kept up the giggles and the pace.” —100 Pages a Day “Deftly written by the exceptionally talented China Miéville and shockingly but gifted illustrated by Zak Smith, The Worst Breakfast is a unique picture book that will be enduringly popular . . . Very highly recommended.” —Midwest Book ReviewPublishers Note: This is the flowable text e-book edition, optimized for e-ink readers that cannot support fixed layout e-books.

    The three stars on the Tennessee flag represent the three cultural divisions of the state-the Grand Divisions -East, Middle, and West Tennessee. Though culturally distinct, the three Tennessees share a common history of exploitation of colonial lands by Spanish, French, and British claims. For many years Tennessee was under the dominion of these flags. With full-color illustrations, Flags of Tennessee examines the many flags that have flown over the state, including the Spanish Castile and Leon, the French fleur-de-lis, and the British Union Jack, as well as the flags of the United States. Also included are county flags, city flags, battle flags, and a detailed section on the flags of the Indian tribes who lived throughout the state. Each flag is accompanied by text describing its significance, history, and development. It is a perfect introduction to the fascinating history of the Volunteer State for readers eight and older. Devereaux Cannon lives in Nashville, Tennessee. He is also the author of The Flags of the Confederacy, The Flags of the Union, and The Wit and Wisdom of Robert E. Lee, all published by Pelican.
