Acclaimed creator Kaoru Mori's tale of life on the nineteenth-century Silk Road continues. Pariya's budding romance with Umar is off to a rough start due to her brash personality and lack of confidence. But if she can't figure out how to say what she wants with words, then perhaps the old adage is true--the way to a man's heart is through his stomach! Crafted in painstaking detail, Ms. Mori's pen breathes life into the scenery and architecture of the period in this heart-warming, slice-of-life tale that is at once wholly exotic, yet familiar and accessible through the everyday lives of the characters she has created.

The Smurfs and friends are after the fountain of strength in this latest installment of THE SMURF TALES! After discovering an old book telling the tale of an adventurous Smurf gaining extraordinary strength after bathing in a fabled spring, the Smurfs decide to find the source for themselves. And, as a special bonus, also from Peyo, the creator of THE SMURFS, we present a story from the strongest little French boy and never-before-published-in-the-USA whodunnit, Benny Breakiron. This graphic novel series is a perfect tie-in opportunity with the all-new SMURFS animated series on Nickelodeon!
