  From a New York Times bestselling author, cheerleader Emma McKenna is thrilled for her first day at a new school–but when her former best friend (now her enemy) shows up in class, Emma’s quest to start over socially may take a tumble. Emma McKenna can’t wait for third grade at the brand-new Curiosity Academy. She’ll have a cool teacher who wears high-tops and science earrings. She’ll meet interesting classmates from all over Peppermint Falls. Best of all, she’ll get a fresh start after last year’s talent-show disaster left her with that awful nickname. It’s going to be the best year ever! Then Lucy walks into Mrs. Z’s room. Lucy, Emma’s best-friend-turned-enemy. Lucy, who gave Emma that nickname and spread it all over school! Emma’s fresh start is doomed . . . unless she can make friends before Lucy ruins everything. So Emma sets out to be pals with everyone, just like her favorite animal, the capybara. As her classmates argue over the choice of a new school mascot, Emma stays quiet and doesn’t pick sides. (The last thing she needs is another enemy.) But maybe speaking up could be the thing that helps her really connect with her class—and saves her at last from third-grade doom. Both sweetly poignant in its attention to kids’ worries and friendships and laugh-out-loud funny in its storytelling, with black-and-white illustrations throughout by Pura Belpré Honor artist Kat Fajardo, Emma McKenna, Full Out is the perfect launch for the exciting new Kids in Mrs. Z’s Class chapter-book series.

  Charles II - George II - Tea...

  Charles Featherstone gleefully narrates the uproarious finale of A’Beckett’s Comic History, skewering Britain’s glorious descent into chaos after Queen Anne. Witness thick-accented German kings fumbling through English, ministers auctioning the nation’s dignity, and England drowning in get-rich-quick scams – all while crinolines expanded and sense evaporated. 
  meet George I, shuffling mistresses in and out of palace cupboards while dodging Jacobite assassins; his son George II, shrieking battlefield commands in mangled English (and reportedly dropping his trousers for "luck" mid-cavalry charge); and Britain’s "first" Prime Minister, Robert Walpole, who perfected bribery as statecraft with the immortal quip: "Every man has his price... and mine is remarkably low!" 
  Witness the South Sea Bubble—a frenzy of greed that saw nobles and cobblers alike betting fortunes on "vapor and paperwork" until the economy imploded (though London’s wig-makers somehow thrived). Hold your breath as Bonnie Prince Charlie’s tartan-clad Jacobite rebels storm south in the ’45 Rising, only to collapse into farce when the prince reportedly fled a dessert fork "quivering in his pudding." And marvel at Britain’s global gambles: empires built on naval mutinies over rancid limes, colonial cash-grabs, and taxes on everything from windows to gin—all while Germanic kings gazed wistfully toward Saxony. 
  Perfect for fans of Blackadder the Third and The Perfect for fans of Blackadder the Third and the screwball intrigue of The Favourite, this riotous finale proves Britain’s "Enlightenment" was really enlightened self-interest—a stumble toward greatness paved with blunders, bribes, and enough powdered wigs to choke a horse.
