Picks:

Amelia Rules TP Very Ninja Christmas - Amelia McBride is back with her very first holiday book!  This book collects the Christmas story from the first volume of Amelia Rules and a rare "issue zero" story. It also features behind-the-scenes looks at the making of Amelia Rules that are both fun and informative.  This book would be a great gift for Amelia Rules fans and is a must have for any collection.

Hollow Fields Omnibus GN - This is an OEL manga series published by Seven Sea Entertainment.  It is a compilation of all three volumes of the series into one book.  Lucy Snow is on her way to her first day at elementary school, when by mistake she is enrolled at Miss Weaver's Academy for the Scientifically Gifted and Ethically Unfettered, also known as Hollow Fields, an academy for teaching the next generation of mad scientists and evil geniuses.  Lucy must learn fast in her strange new school, because the student with the lowest grade every week gets detention, and no student has ever returned from it.  Both boys and girls will enjoy the clever plot and steampunk world that is humorous with just a touch of darkness.  And the price is perfect for parents and libraries on a budget.
