Alameda in celebration of their respective new books Hilo: Saving the Whole Wide World and Lucy & Andy Neanderthal.

About Hilo: HILO's BA-ACK in this funny, New York Times-bestselling, full-color new middle-grade graphic novel series that Bone creator Jeff Smith calls delightful and Lincoln Peirce says every kid will love!
DJ and Gina are TOTALLY ordinary kids. But Hilo . . . isn't. HILO is just settling into life on earth (Bowling? Knock-knock jokes? OUTSTANDING!) when strange portals begin opening up all over town. And HOLY MACKEREL! Even STRANGER creatures are coming through them! But it will take more than a GIANT MUTANT CHICKEN, A VIKING HIPPO, A MAGICAL WARRIOR CAT, or even a few MILLION KILLER VEGETABLES to stop Team Hilo . . . er, WON'T IT? Can Hilo, DJ, and GINA figure out how to send these creatures back to their worlds before they DESTROY the earth?
HILO is Calvin and Hobbes meets Big Nate and is just right for fans of Bone and comic books as well as laugh-out-loud school adventures like Jedi Academy and Diary of a Wimpy Kid!
About Luch & Andy Neanderthal: For fans of the New York Times-bestselling Jedi Academy books comes a hilarious new graphic novel series about two young cave kids living 40,000 years ago.
The laugh-out-loud adventure features Lucy and her goofball brother Andy, as the Paleo pair take on a wandering baby sibling, bossy teens, cave paintings, and a mammoth hunt. But what will happen when they encounter a group of humans?
Humorous and entertaining, Jeffrey Brown's signature comical touch enlivens the scientific and historical content, including a special paleontologist section that helps to dispel common Neanderthal myths.
