Subverting convention, award-winning creators M. T. Anderson and Eugene Yelchin pair up for an anarchic, outlandish, and deeply political saga of warring elf and goblin kingdoms. Uptight elfin historian Brangwain Spurge is on a mission: survive being catapulted across the mountains into goblin territory, deliver a priceless peace offering to their mysterious dark lord, and spy on the goblin kingdom -- from which no elf has returned alive in more than a hundred years. Brangwain's host, the goblin archivist Werfel, is delighted to show Brangwain around. They should be the best of friends, but a series of extraordinary double crosses, blunders, and cultural misunderstandings throws these two bumbling scholars into the middle of an international crisis that may spell death for them -- and war for their nations. Witty mixed media illustrations show Brangwain's furtive missives back to the elf kingdom, while Werfel's determinedly unbiased narrative tells an entirely different story. A hilarious and biting social commentary that could only come from the likes of National Book Award winner M. T. Anderson and Newbery Honoree Eugene Yelchin, this tale is rife with thrilling action and visual humor . . . and a comic disparity that suggests the ultimate victor in a war is perhaps not who won the battles, but who gets to write the history.Binding Type: Hardcover

Non greasy, not much white cast compared to other mineral sunscreens
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The only one my 13 yr old will tolerate. Its the least greasy feeling of any mineral sunscreen we've tried. At 19% zinc oxide, I'm happy. Its also the least "white" cast of any we've tried. My Fitzpatrick III daughter is happy about that

Liked the old formula more :/ very drying
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
We have used this for the longest time because me and my middle child have an allergy to chemical sunscreens. I remember last summer the formula was slightly more greasy but I preferred that. While I do like how protected my skin is (we haven’t burned at all even with the new formula, even after swimming for hours and not reapplying) it is extremely drying to where my skin looks like it’s cracking and feels very hard to wash off. Like I can still feel it on my skin after showering. May try a different one :/ super bummed! I feel like it is also hard to rub on skin because it absorbs so fast.

Great product, not the best packaging
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Glad I got this. Just returned from a two-week dive trip in the Caribbean. Lots of sun of course! I applied this product on my face and neck prior to first and 2nd dives - I never burned. I'm fair skinned but not a magnet for sun burns. I did not have a prior base that I can speak of. The product works well, and blends into your skin fairly quickly, avoiding the white out from other mineral products.
Downside - the container has some type of flow restriction. This had the effect of periodically not letting product out and then spurting out all of a sudden. Not sure if a dud, but except for that I would say absolutely I'd buy again.

Perfect Travel Size TSA approved size
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
I recently bought the Coppertone SPORT Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion in travel size for my son’s first trip to Cancun alone, and I have to say, it was a fantastic choice! Whether you're headed to a sunny beach, a day of fishing, or just need reliable protection from the sun, this sunscreen delivers. Here’s my review based on its performance during the trip:
Convenience and Travel-Friendly:
The travel size is perfect for anyone on the go. It’s small enough to meet TSA guidelines for carry-ons, so you don’t have to worry about checking luggage or dealing with oversized bottles at security. My son was able to easily pack it in his carry-on without any hassle. Additionally, the compact size makes it super convenient to throw into a pocket or backpack for a day of fishing, beach trips, or any outdoor adventure.
Sun Protection:
The SPF 50 provides excellent protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays, which is especially important for long hours spent in the sun. Cancun’s sun can be intense, and my son was out in the elements for several hours each day (and I wasn't there to remind him to reapply sunscreen), whether he was fishing, swimming, or just relaxing at the beach. He didn’t get burned once!! As a mother of a redheaded 18 year old son I've spent the past 18 years of my life ensuring he wasn't scorched by the sun and Coppertone has yet to let us down!
Water Resistance:
The water-resistant formula is a huge plus, especially in places like Cancun, where you’ll likely be in and out of the water. My son spent plenty of time swimming and snorkeling, and the sunscreen stayed put. It lasted through sweating, splashing, and even sea water exposure without needing constant reapplication. It’s perfect for active outdoor activities, whether you're swimming, surfing, or just sweating it out in the sun.
Mother approved!!

Dries clear, moisturizing, silky, great value
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
I have fair to light combination skin. I use this on my body, but not my face. It goes on very thick and white, but sinks into the skin lightning fast (within just a few seconds), and it becomes completely invisible. It leaves my skin moisturized and looking and feeling silky. Best body sunscreen I've ever tried. And I love that it is water resistant! I find it too heavy and moisturizing to use on my face, but people with dry skin would probably love it for the face, too. I imagine it would be fantastic for them under makeup. The price per ounce is very reasonable, making it a great value.
