Tom Clancy: Red Winter
By Marc Cameron

In this previously untold adventure, a young Jack Ryan goes behind the Iron Curtain to seek the truth about a potential Soviet defector in the most shocking entry in Tom Clancy's #1 New York Times bestselling series

The Light Pirate
By Lily Brooks-Dalton

Told in four parts—power, water, light, and time—The Light Pirate mirrors the rhythms of the elements and the sometimes quick, sometimes slow dissolution of the world as we know it. It is a meditation on the changes we would rather not see, the future we would rather not greet, and a call back to the beauty and violence of an untamable wilderness.

We the people! (Big Ideas That Changed the World #4)
By Don Brown

The Greek word democracy comes from demos (people) and kratos (rule)—meaning “the people hold power.” In this graphic novel, author-illustrator Don Brown explores the history of democracy—from civilization’s beginnings as hunter-gatherers to the birth of monarchies and vast empires, and from the earliest republics to our present-day government.
