  The Magic Thief: Found, the third book in Sarah Prineas’s acclaimed middle grade fantasy series, finds wizard’s apprentice Conn on the run!  
  Sneaking out of prison isn't easy, unless you are a thief, or a wizard. Luckily, Conn is both! Trouble is, once he's out, where does he go? His home is a pile of rubble since he blew it up doing magic. His master, the wizard Nevery, is not happy with him. Worst of all, Conn's been exiled, and staying in the city will mean his death. 
  But Wellmet is in danger from an evil predator coming to destroy the city, and Conn must set off on a quest to fight it. Suddenly, a huge shadow looms over him and he is swept away by something more awesome than his wildest imaginings. Is Conn brave enough to answer magic's call, or is he really just a thief at heart? 
  Sarah Prineas's incredible world explodes with adventure—a place where cities run on living magic and heroes come from the most surprising places. Diana Wynne Jones, author of Howl's Moving Castle, praised this middle grade fantasy series filled with magic and wonder, saying of the first book: ""I couldn't put it down. Wonderful, exciting stuff.""

  Starry Starry Heist

  Max Rose-Rodriguez has more important things to do than finishing sixth grade—like stopping the biggest art heist the universe has ever known. 
   
  Sixth-grader Max has it rough between tormentors at school and his sick—ever-worsening—mom at home. But then DZ, a strange, tuxedoed man with one shoe, appears to Max from the future and divulges that Max’s mother’s fate is somehow entwined with that of Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night. It’s suddenly clear to Max that any problems he already had on his plate have just gotten bigger. 
   
  DZ explains to Max that someone is after The Starry Night. . . and the thief is not bound by the usual laws of time and space. 
   
  “I have questions,” Max tells DZ. But DZ can’t offer too many specifics. What he can provide Max is a cryptic to-do list: 
   
  Read The Future Time Traveler’s Guide to the Past 
  Consider the puffins 
  Beware the Wretch with obsidian eyes. 
  Befriend Vincent van Gogh 
   
  Although he’s skeptical, Max tries his very best. After all, he’ll do anything to help his mom. But he soon discovers that The Future Time Traveler’s Guide to the Past has never been published. And he’s not exactly sure where he’s going to find puffins in LA, let alone consider them. He has no idea what a Wretch is. And . . . befriend Vincent van Gogh? DZ is asking the impossible. 
   
  Then, one afternoon at the library, Max spots her: Turquoise-haired Maybe Wells, dressed in blue from head to toe, spattered in paint, carrying a skateboard, and sporting a beautiful tattoo of puffins on her right shoulder. 
   
  Max considers those puffins. 
   
  And suddenly, achieving the impossible doesn’t seem so farfetched anymore. 
   
  In this quirky, clever, and arrestingly heartfelt adventure through time, readers will find themselves cheering for the underdog at every turn—whether that underdog is Max, Maybe, a picnic hippo named Thelma, or a certain post-impressionist who, in 1889, painted his most famous work under a twinkling night sky in Arles.

  21 LESSONS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY...

  Yuval Noah Harari

  The central thread of this thought-provoking book revolves around the challenge of maintaining both our collective and individual focus amid the constant and disorienting changes we are experiencing. Are we still capable of understanding the world we’ve created? 
  In 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, Yuval Noah Harari analyzes the current and future challenges facing humanity. Unlike Sapiens, which focuses on the history of humankind, and Homo Deus, which speculates about the distant future, this book addresses the immediate present. Harari explores how technology, artificial intelligence, global politics, and human identity are evolving in the 21st century. 
  He argues that traditional narratives that once guided humanity—such as liberalism, religion, and nationalism—are being undermined by technological acceleration and globalization. 
  Harari offers a call for reflection in an uncertain world. Rather than seeking answers in traditional ideologies, humanity must cultivate a flexible mindset, promote global cooperation, and remain open to change.
