Abstract:
The final chapter of the epic Nnewts adventure! In the final, epic installment of the Nnewts trilogy, the fate of all Nnewts hangs in the balance! Herk, falling under the influence of Blakk Mudd, is slowly turning into a Lizzark and abandoning his Nnewt friends. Herk's siblings, Sissy and Zerk, have been corrupted by evil and the Lizzark army is still threatening Amphibopolis with total destruction. Now the Nnewts need a true hero to step up and save the day before it's too late! Praise for Escape from the Lizzarks: (Nnewts #1)"A visually rich and abundantly imaginative adventure that lands some serious emotional punches."--Publishers WeeklyPraise for The Rise of Herk: (Nnewts #2):"Readers who like lots of action, fighting, magic, and a little humor to lighten the drama will find them here."--BooklistPraise for Ghostopolis:* "TenNapel's colorful illustrations are filled with energy and life."--School Library Journal, starred reviewPraise for Bad Island:* "A clever, old-fashioned adventure with some modern twists and a light-hearted tone, this, like TenNapel's previous work, is not to be missed."--Booklist, starred review* "TenNapel has crafted another rip-roaring adventure with wide audience appeal."--School Library Journal, starred reviewPraise for Cardboard:* "An exceptionally seamless blend of action and philosophy, two elements that usually do not mix easily; TenNapel handles this masterfully. Utterly brilliant."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review"A boldly imaginative and ambitious tale."--The Horn BookPraise for Tommysaurus Rex:"TenNapel unleashes an array of charmingly off-kilter characters and has mastered a cartoonish style that preserves a sense of grit while lending some emotional weight to match the story."--Booklist"It's a premise worthy of a loony Saturday morning cartoon, complete with bulgy-eyed characters that nearly bounce off the full-color pages, but underlying the fun is a potent and affecting story about facing death and growing up."--Publishers Weekly"Unpredictable and engaging, this will be a popular pick for reluctant readers and graphic-novel fans."--School Library Journal"The action-heavy panels, packed with lots of motion and sound effects, make this a great fit for reluctant readers, especially those who like fantasy adventure tales.
