Highlight: Sketch by Ros Hill

What if you could bring an Egyptian superhero to life...just by sketching him with magic ink?




If you're not hooked by that premise alone, there's something seriously wrong with you. 

Magic systems can get so used and reused it can genuinely feel as though you've seen it all...until you come across a book like Sketch. This offers a truly fresh spin on the "chosen-one" trope. 

There's humor, too...and real heart. This book is about legacy, loss, and what gets passed down among generations. 

If you like your superheroes with a mythological surprise and a ton of emotionality (or if you've got a teen at home who has settled a bit too deeply into the mid-summer doldrums) this one's for you.
