Squib Moreau er måske nok en 15-årig sump-vild, streetsmart, cajun-blodet vildbasse, men han har (som regel) gode intentioner: Han vil virkelig gerne være en sød og opmuntrende søn for sin hårdtarbejdende mor, sygeplejersken Elodie. Men nogle gange kommer livet i vejen – som for eksempel når Falske Far pludselig fordufter og efterlader en kæmpe gæld, eller når den korrupte landbetjent Regence Hooke får den idé, at Elodie er lige er hans kinda gal.Så da Squib får tilbudt et job hos den lokale spritsmugler, ser det ud til, at en sommer på floden er hans eneste mulighed for at betale af på familiens gæld og måske skaffe et sted til ham og hans mor inde i byen, langt væk fra Regence Hookes ubehagelige tilnærmelser og Falske Fars dårlige ry.Desværre har landbetjenten selv kig på den del af floden til sine lyssky forehavender. Og hverken han eller Squib har taget højde for dragen, der bor i en hytte dybt inde i Louisianas sump. Altså Vern, den sidste drage i verden – også kaldet Lord Highfire – der fordriver tiden med at se Flashdance og drikke vodka. Et lidt sølle liv, men Vern er parat til at gøre hvad som helst for at forsvare det.Highfire er en morsom, dramatisk, actionpakket, rørende historie for voksne om en dreng, en korrupt politimand og den sidste drage på jorden – måske.En Amazon-seriefilmatisering er på vej af romanen. I den lægger skuespilleren Nicolas Cage efter planen stemme til Vern aka Lord Highfire.

A powerfully moving graphic novel by New York Times bestselling author Eoin Colfer and the team behind the Artemis Fowl graphic novels that explores the current plight of undocumented immigrants.Ebo is alone.His brother, Kwame, has disappeared, and Ebo knows it can only be to attempt the hazardous journey to Europe, and a better life--the same journey their sister set out on months ago. But Ebo refuses to be left behind in Ghana. He sets out after Kwame and joins him on the quest to reach Europe. Ebo's epic journey takes him across the Sahara Desert to the dangerous streets of Tripoli, and finally out to the merciless sea. But with every step he holds on to his hope for a new life, and a reunion with his family.

Illustrated in a sophisticated muted palette, this is a classic quest story with a modern twist from two Irish Children's Laureates.After his father¿s death, Prince Lir is tricked into embarking on a perilous quest to rescue a maiden from a dragon. The studious young prince is no warrior, but he uses his brains to make himself indispensable to the grumpy dragon. However, neither prince nor dragon have bargained on the dark magic which manipulates them both, and it may be left to maiden herself to save them all¿

"Studious Prince Lir is next in line to become the Wolfhound King, but he can't ride a horse, lift a sword, or summon the fabled wolfhounds. So his stepmother decrees that her own son will inherit the crown instead, sending Lir away on a seemingly impossible--and assuredly fatal--quest: to rescue the maiden Cethlenn from the once-fearsome dragon Lasvarg. Rather than wage battle, Lir insists that Lasvarg, now decidedly past his prime, honor tradition by setting him three tasks to perform--starting with tackling the mold encrusting the dragon's cave (and his feet!). As Lir improves Lasvarg's life, he also grows closer to Cethlenn ... as well as the wolfhound puppy strangely devoted to her. In time, they learn more of the dark magic that may be making pawns of them all--and how Cethlenn herself could be the key to breaking a spell that clouds the entire kingdom."--Provided by publisher.
