Chris Behrsin

Sinopse

Once again, the cat must save the dayBen who rides dragons is twice a hero. He’s defeated all kinds of demons and learned how to transform into a chimera. That’s powerful stuff for a mere cat.Oh, how proud his ancestors would be if they saw him today.In fact, he’s far too powerful for Astravar, the mighty warlock and Ben’s nemesis, who can’t stand the thought of being defeated by a mere moggie. But now he has allied with the other warlocks and together they have a plan to destroy the kingdom.Obviously, when the warlocks attack, everyone’s going to turn to the mighty Dragoncat for help. That’s the problem with being a hero, you see. When threats loom on the horizon, everyone expects said hero to step up to the plate and save the day.Alas, war involves giving up a lot of home comforts, and Ben doesn't like that one bit."A Cat's Guide to Saving the Kingdom" is the third book in the first Dragoncat trilogy – a series of fun and kid-friendly dragon riding adventures where not only humans befriend dragons, but cats (and a dog) too.

Project Hush

William Tenn

Project Hush by William Tenn - The biggest job in history and it had to be done with complete secrecy. It was—which was just the trouble!
I guess I'm just a stickler, a perfectionist, but if you do a thing, I always say, you might as well do it right. Everything satisfied me about the security measures on our assignment except one—the official Army designation.
Project Hush.
I don't know who thought it up, and I certainly would never ask, but whoever it was, he should have known better. Damn it, when you want a project kept secret, you don't give it a designation like that! You give it something neutral, some name like the Manhattan and Overlord they used in World War II, which won't excite anybody's curiosity.
But we were stuck with Project Hush and we had to take extra measures to ensure secrecy. A couple of times a week, everyone on the project had to report to Psycho for DD & HA—dream detailing and hypnoanalysis—instead of the usual monthly visit. Naturally, the commanding general of the heavily fortified research post to which we were attached could not ask what we were doing, under penalty of court-martial, but he had to be given further instructions to shut off his imagination like a faucet every time he heard an explosion. Some idiot in Washington was actually going to list Project Hush in the military budget by name! It took fast action, I can tell you, to have it entered under Miscellaneous "X" Research.
Well, we'd covered the unforgivable blunder, though not easily, and now we could get down to the real business of the project. You know, of course, about the A-bomb, H-bomb and C-bomb because information that they existed had been declassified. You don't know about the other weapons being devised—and neither did we, reasonably enough, since they weren't our business—but we had been given properly guarded notification that they were in the works.

Plato - Theaetetus

Plato

The Theaetetus is one of Plato's dialogues concerning the nature of knowledge, written circa 369 BC. In this dialogue, Socrates and Theaetetus discuss three definitions of knowledge: knowledge as nothing but perception, knowledge as true judgment, and, finally, knowledge as a true judgment with an account. Each of these definitions is shown to be unsatisfactory.

A Different Pond

Bao Phi

A powerful, honest glimpse into a relationship between father and son and between cultures, old and new, about a long-ago fishing trip. 
 
A 2018 Caldecott Honor Book that Kirkus Reviews calls "a must-read for our times," A Different Pond is an unforgettable story about a simple event - a long-ago fishing trip. Graphic novelist Thi Bui and acclaimed poet Bao Phi deliver a powerful, honest glimpse into a relationship between father and son - and between cultures, old and new. As a young boy, Bao and his father awoke early, hours before his father's long workday began, to fish on the shores of a small pond in Minneapolis. Unlike many other anglers, Bao and his father fished for food, not recreation. A successful catch meant a fed family. Between hope-filled casts, Bao's father told him about a different pond in their homeland of Vietnam. Thi Bui's striking, evocative art paired with Phi's expertly crafted prose has earned this powerful picture books six starred reviews and numerous awards.
