In
The Weirn Books, Vol. 1: Be Wary of the Silent Woods, Ailis and Na’ya are pretty average students, but when a shadow starts looming and a classmate gets all weird, they’re the first to notice. It gets personal, though, when Na’ya’s little brother D’esh disappears. To get him back, she has no choice but to confront the secrets of the forbidden mansion in the Silent Woods!
Just in time for Halloween,
The Weirn Books, Vol. 2: The Ghost and the Stolen Dragon (JY, an imprint of Yen Press | October 15, 2024 | Ages 8-12) takes readers back to Chmakova’s supernatural world full of magic, adventure, and… dragons! After her terrible adventures in the Silent Woods, Na’ya’s world seems to have returned to normal… that is, except for the nightmares that keep haunting her. What she needs is the power to protect everyone, and she has the perfect solution—she’ll turn into a dragon, once and for all! With help from Ailis and Jasper, everything seems to be going according to plan. But what’s that dark shadow slithering around the spell-casting range?
School Library Journal hailed
The Weirn Books, Vol. 1 as a “sweet, not-too-scary coming-of-age story that feels like a young read-alike to Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” while Publishers Weekly praised Chmakova’s signature art style: “Classic manga visuals enrich Chmakova’s charming, full-color art: sweeping magic amid serene concentration, shadows accentuating fear-inspiring retorts from authority figures, and facial contortions add humor to life-and-death stakes… Chmakova smartly keeps the focus on family, friendship, and the relatable struggles of fitting in.”
Chmakova is considered one of the most iconic creators in the middle grade graphic novel space, making a name for herself with acclaimed and award-winning works like Dramacon, Nightschool, Berrybrook Middle School, the manga adaptation of James Patterson's Witch & Wizard, and the webcomic Chasing Rainbows. Her most recent graphic novel, Enemies (released Sept 2022), was a top seller in the category.
About the potion kit:
Create a magical world with this mystery potion kit, perfect for kids who love magic tales and adventures!
The potions turn into a frothing, foaming, bubbling sensory delight when water is added, and combine the excitement of magic and the wonder of science. The kit includes enough bottles and ingredients for 20 glow-in-the-dark potions, and the included Spell Book features instructions for making 7 potions with kids encouraged to create their own with the remaining ingredients! The box also transforms into a shelf to display your potion bottles when you're done.
Praise for Svetlana Chmakova
“Chmakova maintains her signature anime-influenced style, as seen in the “Berrybrook Middle School” series, and adds a touch of whimsy through visual worldbuilding around the eerie, desolate woods… VERDICT Relationships take center stage in this sweet, not-too-scary coming-of-age story that feels like a young read-alike to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”
—School Library Journal (The Weirn Books, Vol. 1: Be Wary of the Silent Woods)
“Classic manga visuals enrich Chmakova’s charming, full-color art: sweeping magic amid serene concentration, shadows accentuating fear-inspiring retorts from authority figures, and facial contortions add humor to life-and-death stakes… Chmakova smartly keeps the focus on family, friendship, and the relatable struggles of fitting in.”
—Publishers Weekly (The Weirn Books, Vol. 1: Be Wary of the Silent Woods)
“Felicity’s humorous, colloquial, first-person narration rings true, from her passion for gaming to her sibling rivalry to her volatile middle school relationships. With its use of emphatic text, exaggerated gestures and facial expressions, a muted color palette, and rapidly changing visual perspectives, the graphic format proves ideal for anime fan Felicity’s tale of self-acceptance, friendship, and family. Lively, engaging, perfectly pitched tween drama.”
—Kirkus Reviews (Enemies)
