Fanboy has never had it good, but lately his sophomore year is turning out to be its own special hell. The bullies have made him their favorite target, his best (and only) friend seems headed for the dark side (sports and popularity), and his pregnant mother and the step-fascist are eagerly awaiting the birth of the alien life form known as Fanboy's new little brother or sister. Fanboy, though, has a secret: a graphic novel he's been working on without telling anyone, a graphic novel that he is convinced will lead to publication, fame, and--most important of all--a way out of the crappy little town he lives in and all the people that make it hell for him. When Fanboy meets Kyra, a.k.a. Goth Girl, he finds an outrageous, cynical girl who shares his love of comics as well as his hatred for jocks and bullies. Fanboy can't resist someone who actually seems to understand him, and soon he finds himself willing to heed her advice--to ignore or crush anyone who stands in his way.

'How big does a cloud have to be before we can call it a cloud?' This is the question that sparks Miss Courtney's exciting adventure to yesterday and tomorrow. While Grandpa is deciding how best to answer his curious granddaughter's question, The Astonishing Adventures of Miss Courtney and Little Cloud are taking place high in the sky. When Little Cloud asks Miss Courtney if she wants to take a ride through the heavens, Miss Courtney wastes no time answering yes! On their magical journey, Miss Courtney and Little Cloud meet many amazing birds, such as Mother Goose herself, Rockin' Robyn, the Honorable Brown Thrasher, and even an American bald eagle. Charlie, the moon, takes the inquisitive girls back to yesterday, and Miss Courtney gets to see her little brother arrive home from the hospital and her daddy propose to her mommy. When the adventurers are allowed a glimpse into their futures by the Duke of Evermore, what they find is just as amazing as The Astonishing Adventures of Miss Courtney and Little Cloud.

The Twinkle Tales is a 1905 series by L. Frank Baum, published under the pen name Laura Bancroft. The six stories were issued in separate booklets by Baum's publisher Reilly & Britton, with illustrations by Maginel Wright Enright. In 1911, the six eight-chapter stories were collected as Twinkle and Chubbins; Their Astonishing Adventures in Nature-Fairyland — which is a misnomer, since Chubbins appears in only two stories and few are set in "Nature-Fairyland". The book was followed by Policeman Bluejay, which was retitled Babes in Birdland for its second edition.
