Alfonso Casas's MonsterMind is a very personal account of the inner monsters that live inside his head. But who doesn't have a monster inside them? Who has never heard that voice inside their head undermining everything they do? You're not good enough?You just got really lucky?There are people far better and more qualified than you? In a very honest exercise, Alfonso Casas identifies and introduces his own monsters to his readers: Mr. Past Traumas, Mr. Fear, Mr. Social Anxiety, Mr. Impostor Syndrome, Mr. Sadness, Mr. Doubt?the pessimistic, the insecure, the self-demanding, the monster that keeps you from sleeping while you think of what you could have said back in that conversation two years ago, or that keeps you looking over the punctuation of every text message to figure out the tone lurking beneath the surface. All those monsters make up the bestiary of contemporary society. But the anxiety generation is expert in more things: in looking inside themselves and their lives, and--why not?--in laughing at their own neuroses as best they can. In the end, if the monsters won't leave us, we might as well get to know them and laugh at them! Anxiety is another pandemic, but the monsters dwelling inside us are funny, too (especially as drawn by Alfonso Casas). BONUS: Includes a discussion guide to help readers further discuss anxiety and find ways to deal with it.

ALANDAL HC

Las Islas Filipinas, 1774. Sabrina, the young daughter of an exiled Spanish Conquistador, is abducted by Iranun pirate and taken to the island of Jolo.

Brought to life through the stunning black and white illustrations of comics legend and Will Eisner Comic Hall of Fame inductee Alex Ni?o and written by musician, producer, and director Jay Ignacio, ALANDAL explores a pivotal era in Filipino history and uses the enduring power of speculative fiction to explore the complexities of history and identity. ALANDAL won the 2022 National Children's Book Award for Best Reads, and the 2023 National Book Award for Best Graphic Novel.

ALL THE PEOPLE I HAVE BEEN HC

It's better to laugh in life. And, if possible, to laugh at yourself. In this new graphic novel, cartoonish Alfonso Casas reflects on the various phases of life, portraited through beautiful illustrations created to remind us of the power of our thoughts and the new worlds in which we constantly find ourselves. As in his previous title, Monster Mind, Casas focuses on the premise that all humans live their own lives, within their own minds, which deserve to be treated with grace as our homes among this crazy, big, diverse world.
