Both a visual feast for the eyes and a healthy helping of thought for the soul.

With gorgeously detailed full-color artwork, there is a spooky tale of a sinister doppelgänger invading a girl's life by up-and-coming comics star Emily Carroll; Dave Roman and Raina Telgemeier's comedy of wizarding errors and online bidding wars; and Rad Sechrist's romp involving a teenage girl, an introduction to the basics of Shintoism, and a manic butter thief driving a grandma to the brink. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e So, don't hesitate. Come and open the box. You'll be amazed. You'll be entertained. You'll be scared. And then you'll want to read each story over again! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Also available: \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eExplorer: The Lost Islands\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eExplorer: The Hidden Doors\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Harry N.
