  “Luna Court” by Dandy Noel is a memoir that follows the young life of Denver and her best friend Shay as they embark on a wandering, rock and roll-fueled road trip in search of Denver’s missing father. In the process, they find themselves.  
  After losing her mother to suicide as a young child, Denver’s early life was fraught with trouble and heartache. Now, as an 18-year-old in the early 1990s with her father missing for over a year, the call of a different life – particularly the growing Southern California music scene – is the catalyst for an adventure that begins the trajectory of the rest of her life. With dreams of opening a vintage clothing store and record shop, the friends leave home behind. As they encounter strangers, narrowly escape mishaps, and navigate the transition out of their teenage naivety – all the while searching for Denver’s father – the two girls learn invaluable lessons about friendship, acceptance, and resilience.  
  This true story of the author’s life is filled with twists and turns, exciting discoveries, and poignant growth, all described with beautiful clarity and careful detail. From the dangers of traveling the country with little to fall back on to appearing in the iconic Smells Like Teen Spirit music video, Noel brings readers on an emotionally charged, transformative ride toward healing past traumas and coming to terms with the joys and disappointments of reality as it truly is.  
  Through determination and hope, Denver’s healing journey is a lesson for people from all walks of life, a reminder that our paths are often messy, nonlinear, imperfect, and well worth the effort.  
  With nods to the flourishing grunge scene of the 90s, introspective moments of young adult angst, unexpected setbacks, and powerful moments of triumph, this inspiring tale is an invitation for readers to embark on their own journeys of healing and discovery, and ultimately, a tribute to the unconditional love a daughter has for her father.

  The Iliad and The Odyssey

  Homer

  The legendary poet of Greek antiquity Homer is surrounded by almost as much myth as the characters of his two epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey. As two of the oldest extant works of Western literature they formed the foundations for Ancient Greek culture, and have been read, translated, adapted and enjoyed across the globe since the 8th century BC. 
   
  The Iliad takes place in the final weeks of the long-fought Trojan War. As the Greeks fight to reclaim the beautiful Helen, King Agamemnon seizes Briseis, the concubine of Achilles. In disgust the legendary warrior abandons the conflict, taking his men with him. 
   
  The Odyssey joins the heroic Odysseus on his epic and tumultuous journey home following the fall of Troy. Having angered the sea-god Poseidon he and his men are beset by obstacles including a man-eating Cyclops, deadly storms, and a witch who transforms her enemies into pigs. 
   
  The translations presented in this wonderful collection are easily accessible prose editions translated by highly-esteemed authors. The Iliad is translated by the late-Victorian novelist Samuel Butler, and The Odyssey by adventurer Lawrence of Arabia, T.E. Lawrence.

  A Midsummer Night's Dream

  A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of the many comedies written by William Shakespeare. It was written around 1595 and first published in Shakespeare's first quarto in 1600. The exact reason for why this play was produced has been lost to time; some historians theorize that it could have been written for an aristocratic wedding, or for Queen Elizabeth I to celebrate the feast of St. John.
  The play opens with Theseus, Duke of Athens, and Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, planning the celebration of their marriage. During their visit to Athens four guests - Demetrius, Lysander, Helena, and Hermia - are trying to find their own spouses and to follow each other into the woods. Also entering the woods are six actors practicing a play for the duke and his new wife. Unbeknownst to all, they have also entered the realm of the fairy kingdom, ruled by King Oberon and Queen Titania and inhabited by the mischievous Puck.
