In Conquest Over Time by Michael Shaara, Contact Man Pat Travis lands on the astrologer-ruled world of Mert during an eclipse that marks him as an omen of disaster. Trapped among the “unfortunates” condemned by their birth-charts, he must turn superstition into strategy before rival companies steal the contract he needs. The Nameless City by H. P.

But when office braggart McCleary returns with tickets, photos, souvenirs, and pink Martian sand, fantasy and reality collide in this clever Twilight-Zone-style tale. In I Bring Fresh Flowers by Robert F. Young, Rosemary Brooks—patriot, idealist, astronette—becomes the first woman to orbit Earth.

Rosemary becomes part of the earth, the sky, every dawn. Savage Galahad by Bryce Walton tells of a massive Venusian swamp-lord who senses the terrified thoughts of a lost human woman. Awakened to beauty for the first time, he protects her from the horrors of his world—until a final battle with the monstrous Torrg seals their destinies. Five worlds. Five destinies. One essential volume of classic sci-fi brilliance.Ver libro
A very special mouse embarks on an epic adventure to find his missing family in this acclaimed #1 New York Times bestseller from James Patterson, perfect for fans of Stuart Little and The Mouse and the Motorcycle. What makes Isaiah so unique? First, his fur is as blue as the sky—which until recently was something he'd never seen, but had read all about. That's right: Isaiah can read and write. He can also talk to humans ... if any of them are willing to listen! After a dramatic escape from a mysterious laboratory, Isaiah is separated from his "mischief" (which is the word for a mouse family) and has to survive in the dangerous outdoors, and hopefully find his missing family. But in a world of cruel cats, hungry owls, and terrified people, it's hard for a young, lone mouse to make it alone. When he meets an equally unusual and lonely human girl named Hailey, the two soon learn that true friendship can transcend all barriers. A Parents' Choice Award® winner! ★ “Isaiah is truly a mouse that roars.” ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review) ★ “Children's literature offers a long tradition of clever mice who accomplish amazing feats, and Patterson and Grabenstein's Isaiah seems destined to join them. Here's hoping this unique hero returns soon with further adventures.” ―Booklist (starred review)Ver libro
National Book Award winner Pete Hautman explores a friendship like no other—and the universal truth that dogs make life better, especially for underdogs. Evan doesn’t seem to fit in at school or at home. He goes out of his way to avoid attention. He sits at the back of the bus, keeps his head down in class, and keeps to himself. But when a burr-covered border collie—a survivor with a gut instinct about the Boy—starts following him around and joining him on his runs, Evan’s simple duck-and-dodge existence becomes a lot more complicated… a lot more like life. Evolving from wary companions to steadfast friends, Evan and the dog run fast and far together, thwart an abusive dog breeder and the school bully, and find the courage to stand up for themselves and open up to those who matter most. Narrated in alternating viewpoints, this relatable contemporary novel with classic coming-of-age themes has all the hope, pathos, and emotional complexity that mark Pete Hautman’s books for middle-grade readers—and is a deeply satisfying read for animal lovers.Ver libro
