About Hulk Teach:
A hilarious original series filled with comics, mischief, and misadventure starring the Hulk! From the mind of New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Jeffrey Brown.
Bruce Banner, AKA the Hulk, is a genius scientist and super hero whose rage-outs have led him to damage way too much public property. After his latest meltdown, Tony Stark arranges a PR move to smooth things over. Hulk will perform community service -- by teaching. Can Banner make it through the school year without destroying everything? And can middle school kids really learn anything when the HULK is their teacher?
This all-new middle grade graphic novel told with two-color artwork offers a laugh-out-loud take on middle school.

JEFFREY BROWN is an Eisner Award winner and New York Times bestselling author-illustrator. Jeffrey has created dozens of graphic memoirs, humorous parodies, and cat books. He lives in Chicago with his wife, Jennifer, and his two sons, but he is originally from Grand Rapids, MI.
About When There Are Two Patients in One Body:
When There Are Two Patients in One Body is a powerful collection of birth stories from an experienced Labor & Delivery nurse. Told in chronological order through her career, the book captures the intensity, joy, and heartbreak of childbirth—revealing how race, culture, and healthcare access shape each experience. With intimate detail and personal reflection, these stories offer profound insight into one of life’s most transformative events.
About Stephanie Flood:
Stephanie Flood, RN, BSN, is an experienced Labor & Delivery nurse who spent over 30 years at one of the Midwest’s largest birthing centers. A graduate of Calvin University, she worked as both a bedside and charge nurse, sharing in some of the most intimate, emotional, and life-changing moments families experience. Her debut book, When There Are Two Patients in One Body, is a collection of real birth stories from her career—told with honesty, heart, and respect. Stephanie lives in East Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she enjoys cycling, yoga, reading, travel, and time with her family and friends. Her writing is inspired by the women and families she cared for and by a desire to ensure that every reader—nurse, parent, partner, or not—feels seen, understood, and connected through these stories.
About Inspired Enterprise:
Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry sought to create a work of science fiction that would immerse viewers not only through clever storylines and modern visual effects, but also by presenting the story in a scientific and technological context that felt believable. To this end, Roddenberry, a former WWII combat pilot, used his connections in the aerospace industry to seek out the latest and greatest technology.
This book, authored by Glen E. Swanson, former chief historian at the NASA Johnson Space Center, uncovers the story of how NASA, the Smithsonian, and the aerospace industry helped craft, legitimize, and popularize the beloved television show Star Trek. Further context is provided through the discussion of additional factors behind the success of the show, including merchandising and syndication.
