"The original Octonauts books have inspired a popular animated television series broadcast worldwide. In their fourth adventure, the Octonauts travel to a large reef city. When they arrive, they discover that the once bustling waters have turned into a ghost town! The colorful coral has turned an eerie white and buildings lay empty and crumbling. The Octonauts explore the different reef 'neighborhoods', from mangrove forests to seagrass meadows, to learn about the plants and animals that make up this strange tropical world. Will the crew be able to find clues to solve the mystery of the Great Ghost Reef? Reviews "I've had the pleasure of reviewing all of the books in Meomi's wonderful 'Octonauts' series, which are published by Immedium. I have to say, they just keep getting better and better, and the newest, The Octonauts & the Great Ghost Reef is probably my favorite yet. Not only are the illustrations so cute I want to hang them on my walls, but the story is great, and it's educational. I've selected a few of my favorite images for this post, but pick up the book, because it won't disappoint! Every page is filled with the cutest illustrations, featuring Meomi's signature characters!" - Tokyo Bunnie "The Octonauts are Diesel Oakland's favorite team of underwater animal explorers. Cute, colorful, imaginative, and action-packed, their exploits appear in four volumes...Their mission? To investigate the mysteries of the deep and to help their fellow creatures. Kids will love the fact that The Octonauts have their own unique personalities, a deep sea workstation in which they live and play, and jobs just like real scientist-explorers. Adults will appreciate the cool graphics and quirky humor. And both will look forward to the vibrant illustrations and little visual details that make each adventure worth returning to again and again." - Colin Waters, Diesel Bookstore, Oakland, CA "The eight cuddly underwater explorers...take a vacation to the Great Reef City only to discover the wondrous reef ecosystem has become bereft of both life and color...the anime-inspired artwork and oodles of minute details bubbling around each page will have [children] deeply immersed in the fantastical undersea world." --Ian Chipman, ALA Booklist" About the Authors Meomi is Vicki Wong and Michael Murphy who live in Vancouver, Canada.

In post-apocalyptic Canada, guns don't kill people - slapshots do. For the mutated tribes trying to survive nuclear winter - which is like normal Canadian winter, just more radioactive - hockey serves as a form of ritual warfare in which communities gamble their resources on the abilities of their squad to score goals and bust heads on the ice. With team captain Skully injured, manager Lizzy must step into his skates and lead the Edmonton Atomics - Squid, Stretch, and Ugly Dave - against a new threat from the north: Boss Hog and his Rig Pigs. In her first game since the end of the world, Lizzy must line up across from an abrasive, refrigerator-sized pig-man... and while she's dealing with that, Skully changes the stakes in an effort to realize his new vision for the future.

In post-apocalyptic Canada, guns don't kill people - slapshots do. For the mutated tribes trying to survive nuclear winter - which is like normal Canadian winter, just more radioactive - hockey serves as a form of ritual warfare in which communities gamble their resources on the abilities of their squad to score goals and bust heads on the ice. When the Edmonton Atomics aren't able to get the supplies they need on a road trip through southern Alberta, Skully has an idea that will take the team west, across the Rocky Mountains. Skully hopes they'll find more opponents and more resources in British Columbia. Back in Edmonton, Lizzy and her teammates on the Atomics' second line find themselves under siege - their rivals have found out the first line is gone, and flood into town hoping to take advantage of the back-ups. Can the second line withstand the grind, or will the Atomics return to a community stripped clean of its resources? Will the Atomics return at all? After discovering Ogopogo, and the cult of hockey mutants dedicated to keeping the mythical sea serpent fed, sudden death takes on all new meaning!

Eijun Sawamura has enrolled in the well-known baseball school Seido High School. He doesn't exactly start with a bang; sleeping in on the first day calls the wrath of the head coach down on his head. In an effort to redeem himself immediately, he enters into a long pitch contest with the coach. When he fails, he's told to give up on being a pitcher. In a team as filled with talented players as Seido, his path to the varsity team just keeps getting further and further away! Eijun's one goal is to be the Ace, and now another powerful rival steps into his path: Furuya!

Seido High's team is without an Ace, and so a game between the first-years and the upperclassmen is held to uncover new talent. The upperclassmen team's overwhelming strength and ability is about to utterly destroy the first-year team's will when Eijun steps up to recover the team's morale. Seeing his determination to work toward victory, the coach finally decides to put Eijun on the mound. Eijun's excitement at finally getting to pitch hits a stumbling block when he comes up against his roommate, upperclassman Masuko. Will Eijun finally understand the harsh reality of being kicked off the varsity team through his head-to-head battle against Masuko?!

Seido High School is betting their title as a famous school on the regional preliminaries for Koshien, even without their Ace! The tournament starts now! In the first game, Furuya starts and Sawamura follows him up in his season game debut. The third round game is also a total victory, and Seido's tournament start is going great. However, their next opponent is Akikawa Academy, who have a pitcher with perfect control, Yang, also known as the Precise Machine! In the first inning, they bare their teeth and snap at Furuya's weaknesses, using them to gain points!!

A pitcher's battle! A hitter's battle! The heated battle against Yakushi comes to its final curtain! The offensive pitcher's relay of Furuya, Sawamura, and then Kawakami has left Seido with a two run lead with two innings remaining. However, the strong batting lineup at Yakushi continues their fierce assault...! When they get into a dangerous situation, where one hit means a tie game, it's finally time for Tanba to step onto the stage! With the Ace's return, the battle for the best 4 comes to its climax!!

Belzebubs is a "trve kvlt mockumentary" focusing on the everyday challenges of family life: raising kids, running a small business, and making time for worship. Except the kids are named Lilith and Leviathan, the business is a black-metal band, and the worship... isn't exactly aimed upstairs. In a few short years, what started out as improvised social-media doodles has now become a wildly successful webcomic with hundreds of thousands of fans. The irresistible cartooning of JP Ahonen (Sing No Evil) combines relatable slice-of-life humor with over-the-top occult antics and references from metal music to Lovecraftian horror, making Belzebubs a devil of a good time.

Eijun Sawamura had his heart set on the middle-school national baseball championships. But his team is eliminated thanks to a wild pitch thrown by Eijun himself. He's planning to go to high school with his teammates and try again next year when he's scouted by the famous Seido High School Baseball team. When he goes for a campus visit, he finds himself on the receiving end of a baptism by fire! His experience forming a battery with up-and-coming catcher Miyuki rekindles his passion for baseball!!
