Eternal screwup Julian has burned his last bridge in his small Midwestern hometown and he’s on the streets, broke and alone. When a poorly thought out drug heist goes as badly as you'd expect, he’s forced to confront his demons and decide if he truly wants to stay in this self-made purgatory forever. "A poignant examination of the toll addiction takes."— SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL "An unforgettable cautionary tale."— FOREWORD "Puts the dark in comedy and sheds some light on an addict’s circuitous path to uncertainty." — KIRKUS Julian is going to change his life! Get off the couch, get a job, stop disappointing everyone he loves. But first: maybe a couple of pills? Being the mayor's son comes with a lot of pressure: pressure to conform, perform, and live up to expectations. But Julian's opting out of it all. He’s living on his girlfriend's couch, dealing drugs, and watching the days pass, empty and unfulfilled. It . . wasn't too bad, to be honest. At least, not until Dana flushed his stash and booted him to the street. Alone, adrift, broke, and jonesing, Julian has burned his last bridge, his schemes have gone from “moronic” to “tied up in an abandoned mine shaft,” and the tiny town of Piney Bluff is swiftly running out of safe harbors for its most fortunate son. It’s time for Julian to take some steps, but first he has to find a way out of purgatory. An awkward, wince-worthy, and hilarious companion piece to creator Jon Allen’s previous work, The Lonesome Era, Julian in Purgatory is a wild safari through one kid’s bad choices and worse consequences.

An injured dancer uses the aid of a dark spirit to regain her title as prima ballerina, but it comes with a cost! "A ballet story with a slight surreal twist for dance lovers." — KIRKUS "The perfect kind of ballerina drama." — BOOKLIST "A sobering fable about the prices that people pay to stay at the top of their art." — FOREWORD “For years I’ve watched ballerinas from this room. I want what you want. I wish to join them.” Miriam has trained her whole life to fulfill her dreams and it’s finally paid off now that she’s the prima ballerina of the Lulli Dance Company, but she’s been keeping a secret from them. The years of sprains, fractures, and bruises have taken their toll and a catastrophic ankle injury now means one terrible thing: she has to give it all up forever. Distraught beyond consolation, Miriam runs from the studio and discovers a secret room she’s never seen before. Inside she finds a pair of gleaming white and gold slippers and a mysterious voice whispering to her in the dark. If she tries on the slippers, it says, she’ll regain the strength to raise en pointe. It speaks the truth! Soon, Miriam is back, but each achievement means danger for everyone around her and negotiation with the spirit who claims it wants just one little harmless thing in return . . to join the ballerinas and dance, just like her.

The planet Earth had been randomly destroyed — bummer! But that can’t stop Kay, its sole survivor, and her newfound alien pals from setting off on a wildly imaginative, surprisingly touching adventure for the ages. "A light space comedy laced with witty dialogue." — KIRKUS "A hilariously absurd comic." — SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL "Breezy, satisfying science fiction." — FOREWORD Earth has exploded! Here’s what happens next. When planet Earth just kind of blows up without warning, 13-year-old Kay becomes the world's youngest chunk of space debris. She's inadvertently rescued from the vacuum by Arizona, an alien space-waste collector, and Euclid, his erudite cybernetic pet, and from there this unlikely trio blasts off for the most outlandish, hilarious, and occasionally bureaucratic adventure of their lives! As Arizona tries to keep their ship on course and show Kay the ways of the wider universe, her new role as Earth’s sole survivor slowly comes into focus through each increasingly silly stop on their wild intergalactic road trip. The fledgling team is on a search for the next big score and a loose concept called “home,” both answered by the eternal question: “Where to next?”
