From award-winning author Eve L. Ewing comes an illustrated middle grade novel about a forgotten homemade robot who comes to life just when aspiring fifth-grade scientist Maya needs a friend -- and a science fair project. Maya's nervous about fifth grade. She tries to keep calm by reminding herself she knows what to expect. But then she learns that this year won't be anything like the last. For the first time since kindergarten, her best friends Jada and MJ are placed in a different class without her, and introverted Maya has trouble making new friends. She tries to put on a brave face since they are in fifth grade now, but Maya is nervous! Just when too much seems to be changing, she finds a robot named Ralph in the back of Mr. Mac's convenience store closet. Once she uses her science skills to get him up and running, a whole new world of connection opens up as Ralph becomes a member of her family and Maya begins to step into her power. In this touching novel, Eve L. Ewing melds together a story about community, adapting to change, and the magic of ingenuity that reminds young readers that they can always turn to their own curiosity when feeling lost.
Yes, the Mini Squishable Baphomet may be an extra-dimensional creature of mystical occult tradition, but they're actually pretty chill. This afternoon their plans include a nice cup of chamomile tea, a comfortable couch, and a good record. They prefer heavy metal, but whatever, honestly. You pick.
Our distinguishing physical characteristics are so random and quirky! You have red hair, that lady there has green eyes, I have a freckle on my wrist shaped just like a freckle. And this Deaths-Head moth has a mark on its back that looks just like a morbid, grinning skull, coming to steal your soul forever in its dusty whispering wings of shadows. Hah hah. Um.
I asked my co-workers how they would describe the Mini Kirin, here are their answers; "just a cool little dude," "a dragonfly fishlike unicorny friend," a "rare and mythical beast," and finally, "a Neverending Story." Take from this what you will!! Personally, I would say, he's just a squishy thing, living it's squishiest life, and really what more could you ask for?? Maybe a more succinct description but hey, they can't all be winners!
