The League of Extraordinary Grade-Schoolers

Synopsis

Nine-year-old Nancy Clancy loves everything fancy, from jewelry to gowns to tea parties. But after a giant robot drops from the sky and kidnaps her five-year-old sister JoJo, Nancy is drawn into a shadow war between two alien races, a war that will decide the fate of the human race.

Bestowed with superhuman powers by the mysterious Keplerians, Nancy teams up with four other girls—Judy Moody, Cam Jansen, Junie B. Jones, and Amelia Bedelia—to stop an evil race of alien parasites from using a young girl to wipe out all life on Earth!

Rag & Muffin

Synopsis

The ancient temple city of Godtown has stood since the primordial days when man and marjara first rose from the mire and reached toward the heavens to find their gods. Now a megalopolis seething with filth, disease, and corruption, Godtown is the site of constant territorial battles between the human-run Elysian Empire, the marjara terrorist cells that oppose human rule, and the criminal mobs that trade drugs and children for money.

Thanks to her mad scientist pediatrician, twelve-year-old Anne “Rags” Defoy, a half-human, half-marjara hybrid, has the power of an advanced master of the mystical martial art called Sastravidya—and what’s more, she can pass on her superhuman abilities to others. Having trained a “Ragtag Army” of medically ill schoolchildren, and accompanied by her alcoholic dog Muffin, Rags has declared war on Godtown’s criminal element.

But it’s a fine line between saving the city of the gods and destroying it—and Rags may not be able to tell the difference.
