Global Warning

Steven B. Frank

A group of 12-year-old friends concerned about climate change proposes a new way to save the earth: amending the U.S. Constitution. Their project propels these activists on an amazing journey across America—and all the way to Norway—with plenty of outside-the-box hijinks and civil disobedience, as they work to save the planet and their futures on it.  
For sixth grader Sam Warren and his friends Catalina, Alistair, Jaesang, and Zoe, the effects of climate change are too pressing to ignore. Adults don’t seem to be up to the challenge of taking action to make real change, but kids know it’s their futures on the line. If their parents, teachers, and government officials won’t step up well, then, they will!  
And these young people will stop at nothing to save the planet and their futures on it. With a little help from a retired kids' rights lawyer and a grandma who knows how to march, they are ready to think big: Constitutional amendment big. But can a bunch of 12-year-olds really draft an amendment that protects the planet, get it to pass in Congress, and change enough hearts and minds across the country to get it ratified before the clock runs out?  
Steven B. Frank crafts another funny and fast-paced story of heightened-reality wish-fulfillment, loaded with the witty patter of smart kids, in this book that reads like Aaron Sorkin for middle grade and plumbs the complexities of the Constitution and the critical turning point of global climate change.

Ring Around The Sun

Isaac Asimov

Ring Around The Sun by Isaac Asimov - Hell in reverse temperature–that’s what Jimmy and Roy were going through in their little space-ship! Tricked into the dangerous trip, ironic fate caused them to freeze at 40 below, though they were almost in the sun! 
Jimmy Turner was humming merrily, if a bit raucously, when he entered the reception room. 
"Is Old Sourpuss in?" he asked, accompanying the question with a wink at which the pretty secretary blushed gratefully. 
"He is; and waiting for you." She motioned him towards the door on which was written in fat, black letters, "Frank McCutcheon, General Manager, United Space Mail." 
Jim entered. "Hello, Skipper, what now?" 
McCutcheon stared at him from under bushy gray eyebrows. "Old Sourpuss," as he was euphoniously known to all members of United Space Mail, had never been known to laugh within the memory of the oldest inmate, though rumor did have it that when a child he had smiled at the sight of his father falling out of an apple-tree. Right now his expression made the rumor appear exaggerated.

Jack Knight's Brave Flight

Jill Esbaum

Biplanes have been flying the mail in short hops all over the country—during daylight hours, when pilots can see where they’re going. But crashes are still too common, so lawmakers decide to cut funding for the U.S. Air Mail Service. 
 
Outraged officials and pilots concoct a daring plan to save the service—a nonstop, coast-to-coast race—to prove that keeping mail in the air is the fastest way to move it across America. 
 
But when a crash, exhaustion, and a snowstorm threaten the race, Jack Knight steps up. All he has to do is fly all night long. Through a blizzard. Over land he’s never covered. With a nearly empty fuel tank. 
 
What could go wrong?
