    In the quiet 1840s town of Darbury, Massachusetts, respected physician Dr. Bruce Moller thinks he’s seen every kind of fear—until a sheet of impossible darkness drops over the city at high noon and the streets explode into chaos. As murders erupt in the black, Moller begins to suspect a link between the terror, a reclusive scientist with a gateway to the “Dimension of Death,” and the three doctors who signed a young woman into an asylum. 
    Spawn Of Inferno by Hugh B. Cave is a tense blend of science fiction and supernatural horror, filled with claustrophobic streets, unseen predators, and a monstrous presence that feeds in the dark. Step into Darbury’s smothering night and follow Moller’s desperate race to stop a mad experiment before the gateway stays open forever.

    Fall of Knight by A. Bertram Chandler - Sir Ian's proposal shocked them all. They were spacemen. This was not a thing that they'd know how to do. 
    It is customary for the spacemen serving in the Federation's star ships to sneer at the titles bestowed, with a lavish hand, by the Kingdom of Waverley upon its spacefaring subjects. An officer who rises to become Master of one of the Empress Class vessels equivalent to the Federation's Alpha Class-is invariably, after a short period of probation, dubbed Knight. His Chief Engineers-Reaction and Interstellar Drives-usually are given the title of Esquire, as is the First Mate. There are quite a few Dames among the senior Pursers and Catering Officers. 
    A spaceman is a spaceman, however, no matter what fancy handle he has to his name, He has to know his stuff, otherwise he would not be where he is. He has to be efficient, otherwise he would never wear upon his shoulders the four gold stripes of captaincy. So it was with Captain Sir Ian MacLachlan Stuart, Master of the interstellar liner Empress of Skye. When things went wrong he coped, and nobly, and saw to it that his officers coped.

    “An unforgettable story about change with a loving father-daughter bond at its heart.”—Matt de la Peña, Newbery Medal-winning author of Last Stop on Market Street 
     
    From Newbery Medalist Rebecca Stead comes this transporting tale about the power of an honest wish, the courage to speak it out loud, and the imagination to bring it to life. 
     
    What’s more powerful than a secret wish? A wish you say out loud. 
     
    Anything paints a tender picture of a father and daughter moving into a new home. Dad brings a birthday cake for the new apartment to celebrate their new beginning and tells his daughter she can wish for anything (or, more precisely, “three Anythings”). Over the course of the day, she wishes for some of her favorite things, including a rainbow and “the biggest slice of pizza in the whole world." 
     
    But she keeps some of her wishes inside. Because what she really wants is to go back home to their old apartment, with its big blue bathtub and space in the closet for hide-and-seek. When she finally admits this last wish, her dad takes her on a journey, and by the book’s final pages, she is home . . . in every way that matters. 
     
    With an enchanting story from Rebecca Stead (author of the Newbery Medal-winning When You Reach Me), Anything is pure magic. A story that will resonate with every young reader, it is a powerful reminder that sometimes making a wish is a way of telling ourselves we're ready for something new.
