"Mark Grayson is just like most everyone else his age. He's a senior at a normal American high school. He has a crappy part-time job after school and on weekends. He likes girls quite a bit, but doesn't understand them. He enjoys hanging out with his friends and sleeping late on Saturdays (at least until the good cartoons come on). The only difference between Mark and everyone else his age is that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, and lately, he seems to be inheriting his father's powers. But that's only the beginning of Mark's problems..." (-from the back of the book) Find "Invincible: Compendium One" by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, & Ryan Ottley in the Russell Public Library and in Libby (the app for the Sunflower E-Library). 📚👍

"Set in a fictional country in the present day, this is a story told through the eyes of an ex-military dog, Etna. After surviving years of a devastating war, Etna decides one night to leave the men he fought alongside and return to the place he was taken from when he was young, in the thin but persistent hope that, if a home exists for him, it might be there. Thus begins an exhilarating odyssey told through the eyes of a dog... (from the book jacket)."
