Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dragan Carter isn’t good enough for his best friend, June. Growing up poor in Oak Valley, he kept his expectations low: teach himself computer programming and take care of his mom and four younger siblings when his dad went on a bender. No way was he good enough for beautiful, smart June Beaumont, even if she was his best friend. June Beaumont’s life was perfect. Or that’s what everyone else thought anyway. And with two doting parents, a prosperous family bookstore, and a group of close friends, who could blame them? Dragan, her best friend since kindergarten, was the only person who saw the real June, the person behind all the storybook stuff that made up her perfect life. Dragan was the one who let her be real, the one who helped her pick up the pieces after her parents were killed in a car accident. But when June’s grandparents pass the once-booming bookstore to her, the truth is irrefutable: the fairytale is over. The bookstore is deeply in debt, and June can’t seem to find her footing to save it. Still, Dragan is by her side, totally oblivious to the fact that she finds him impossibly hot, ambitious, and talented. While Dragan rushes to sell an app he’s been working on to help save the bookstore, he needs her help to deter his family from their over-bearing questions. The solution? Asking his best friend to be his fake girlfriend. As Dragan and June try to save the bookstore and give his family a reason to stop pestering him, their attraction becomes undeniable and their true feelings come to the surface. But when your best friend is the only thing you can count on with the sand shifting beneath your feet, is it worth the risk to follow your heart?

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With contributions by Eti Berland, Rebecca A. Brown, Christiane Buuck, Joanna C. Davis-McElligatt, Rachel Dean-Ruzicka, Karly Marie Grice, Mary Beth Hines, Krystal Howard, Aaron Kashtan, Michael L. Kersulov, Catherine Kyle, David E. Low, Anuja Madan, Meghann Meeusen, Rachel L. Rickard Rebellino, Rebecca Rupert, Cathy Ryan, Joe Sutliff Sanders, Joseph Michael Sommers, Marni Stanley, Gwen Athene Tarbox, Sarah Thaller, Annette Wannamaker, and Lance Weldy One of the most significant transformations in literature for children and young adults during the last twenty years has been the resurgence of comics. Educators and librarians extol the benefits of comics reading, and increasingly, children's and YA comics and comics hybrids have won major prizes, including the Printz Award and the National Book Award. Despite the popularity and influence of children's and YA graphic novels, the genre has not received adequate scholarly attention. Graphic Novels for Children and Young Adults is the first book to offer a critical examination of children's and YA comics. The anthology is divided into five sections, structure and narration; transmedia; pedagogy; gender and sexuality; and identity, that reflect crucial issues and recurring topics in comics scholarship during the twenty-first century. The contributors are likewise drawn from a diverse array of disciplines--English, education, library science, and fine arts. Collectively, they analyze a variety of contemporary comics, including such highly popular series as Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Lumberjanes; Eisner award-winning graphic novels by Gene Luen Yang, Nate Powell, Mariko Tamaki, and Jillian Tamaki; as well as volumes frequently challenged for use in secondary classrooms, such as Raina Telgemeier's Drama and Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.

Download or read book Pop Cinema written by Glyn Davis and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pop Cinema is the first book devoted to moving image works which engage with the central thematics and aesthetics of Pop Art. The essays in the collection focus in on the core concerns of Pop as a widespread and ideologically complex art movement, and examine the ways in which artists in various global locations have used forms of film practice outside of the mainstream to explore those preoccupations. The book's contributors also identify the ways in which dominant Pop aesthetics flat planes of bold colour, mechanical forms of repetition, appropriation of materials from popular culture sources were adopted, reworked, or abandoned by such filmmakers. At root, the book asks three basic questions: what shapes might a Pop form of cinema take, what materials would it engage with, and what might it have to say?
