Quest Kids and the Dark Prophecy of Doug (Quest Kids)
by Mark LeiknesIt's been six months since the Quest Kids—Ned, Terra, Gil, Boulder, and Ash—saved a village from a furious dragon (no big deal) and turned their questing efforts toward finding Ned&’s parents. But when the crew notices a serious sense of doom and gloom across the Seven Kingdoms, they set out in search of Doug, whose mysterious Dark Prophecy has the potential to send the world into even more dire darkness and dread. With help from new and old friends, the Quest Kids sail through stormy seas, vacation on the newly rebranded Contentment Island, and venture into the Forsaken Lands to find Doug, whose wicked tunes and even wickeder plans are in full force. Can the Quest Kids get it together to counter Doug's plans and find Ned's parents—or must they watch as a triumphant Doug surfs on waves of fire and fulfills his terrible prophecy?
Quest Kids and the Dragon Pants of Gold (Quest Kids)
by Mark LeiknesComics artist Mark Leiknes delivers a laugh-out-loud story set in a fantastic world of dragons, rock creatures, and golden loungewear. The Quest Kids are ready for their first real quest. This time, they won&’t oversleep, they won&’t be put off by a little rain, and they won&’t accidentally burn down the village that hired them. All they have to do is find the Golden-Fleeced Rage Beast, shave it, and make a really nice golden tracksuit to appease a furious dragon. Simple, right? Meet the Quest Kids crew: Gil, a wizard (well, wizard in training . . . the beard isn&’t his); Terra, a 700-year-old elf kid; Boulder, a rock troll who is more of a cook than a fighter; Ash, a flatulent pig-dog-maybe-lizard hybrid; and, Ned, the intrepid and overly optimistic leader with his own personal quest to find his missing parents. With humor, magic, mystery, and at least one acid swamp filled with skeletal alligators, Quest Kids and the Dragon Pants of Gold is a richly illustrated saga of fantasy friendship for readers from all kingdoms!

In the wake of the narrow escape from the evil Doug (an ex-bard determined to bum out and rule the world), the Quest Kids&’ leader, Ned, was turned into a Doug-loving zombie by Doug&’s powerful soul-stealing gem. The rest of the Quest Kids—Terra, Boulder, Gil, and Ash—have spent a year wandering the Seven Kingdoms, going from town to town trying to warn the people of Doug&’s impending invasion. But always too late! By the time they revive Ned, all but one kingdom—the Goblin citadel of Dunglemire—has been transformed into mindless Doug fans. Arriving at Dunglemire, the Quest Kids find a huge encampment of Doug followers, ready for the biggest soul-stealing event of all time: Dougfest! The Quest Kids must work fast to pierce the impassable walls of Dunglemire, make common cause with the mysterious, and reputedly hideous, Goblins, and solve the mystery of an ancient spell that can neutralize Doug and free the world. Using their wits, magic, and questing knowledge (as well as the help of a flame-farting dog-lizard thing), can the Quest Kids stop this world conquerer? And can they reunite Ned and his long-lost parents? Mixing clever diary-style writing with charming graphic novel sequences, Mark Leiknes once again takes readers on a hilarious romp through the perilous world of the Quest Kids.

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking (Platinum Nonfiction Ser.)
by Susan CainThe book that started the Quiet RevolutionAt least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts—Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak—that we owe many of the great contributions to society. In Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introverts—from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.Now with Extra Libris material, including a reader’s guide and bonus content
