  Dare the ocean to dance and it’ll  
  flow  
  flip  
  throw  
  me back,  
  tease with swells so I keep  
  watching  
  waiting  
  hoping  
  for the bigger wave,  
  that might take me all  
  the way to  
  the shore.  
   
  Thirteen-year-old Ava loves to surf and to sing. Singing and reading Rumi poems settle her mild OCD, and catching waves with her best friend, Phoenix, lets her fit in—her olive skin looks tan, not foreign. But then Ava has to spend the summer  
  before ninth grade volunteering at the hospital, to follow in her single mother’s footsteps to become a doctor. And when Phoenix’s past lymphoma surges back, not even surfing, singing, or poetry can keep them afloat, threatening Ava’s hold  
  on the one place and the one person that make her feel like she belongs. With ocean-like rhythm and lyricism, this novel in verse is about a girl who rides the waves, tumbles, and finds her way back to the shore.

  Potential by Robert Sheckley - He was one man, horribly confused, escaping from a destroyed planet, carrying some sort of message which he couldn't recall. But he had tremendous potential for achievement!  
  Robert Sheckley (1928–2005) was a prolific American science fiction writer renowned for his sharp wit, satirical style, and imaginative storytelling. Emerging as a major voice in the 1950s, Sheckley became a fixture in magazines like Galaxy and Amazing Stories, captivating readers with tales that often blurred the line between absurdity and philosophical insight. His work frequently explored the quirks of human nature, the unpredictability of technology, and the ironic consequences of alien encounters, often through fast-paced plots and cleverly twisted logic. 
  A master of the short story, Sheckley penned classics such as “The Seventh Victim”, which inspired the 1965 cult film The 10th Victim, and “Watchbird”, a prescient tale about autonomous drones enforcing morality. His ability to satirize bureaucracy, consumerism, and Cold War anxieties drew comparisons to contemporaries like Kurt Vonnegut and Philip K. Dick. Despite often being categorized as humorous or light, his stories packed a philosophical punch, exploring themes of identity, free will, and societal control. 
  Sheckley also wrote novels, including Mindswap, Dimension of Miracles, and The Status Civilization, which showcased his trademark blend of existential inquiry and surreal comedy. His influence extended beyond literature, inspiring filmmakers, futurists, and generations of speculative writers. Endlessly inventive and sharply perceptive, Robert Sheckley remains one of science fiction’s most original and underappreciated voices.
