  From debut author Janae Marks comes a captivating story full of heart, as one courageous girl questions assumptions, searches for the truth, and does what she believes is right—even in the face of great opposition.  
  Zoe Washington isn’t sure what to write. What does a girl say to the father she’s never met, hadn’t heard from until his letter arrived on her twelfth birthday, and who’s been in prison for a terrible crime? 
  A crime he says he never committed. 
  Could Marcus really be innocent? Zoe is determined to uncover the truth. Even if it means hiding his letters and her investigation from the rest of her family. Everyone else thinks Zoe’s worrying about doing a good job at her bakery internship and proving to her parents that she’s worthy of auditioning for Food Network’s Kids Bake Challenge. 
  But with bakery confections on one part of her mind, and Marcus’s conviction weighing heavily on the other, this is one recipe Zoe doesn’t know how to balance. The only thing she knows to be true: Everyone lies. 
  ""When Marcus tells Zoe he is innocent, and her grandmother agrees, Zoe begins to learn about inequality in the criminal justice system, and she sets out to find the alibi witness who can prove his innocence."" (Publishers Weekly, ""An Anti-Racist Children's and YA Reading List"")

  Rabbits Have Long Ears - The...

  “Rabbits Have Long Ears” by Lawrence F. Willard delivers clever, surprising science fiction with a playful twist. A cautious starship commander believes he may have finally found a world that resembles his own ancient home. But the reports coming from the planet suggest something else entirely. Endless communication signals. Violent conflicts. And a mysterious life-form that may be far more dangerous than anything they have seen before. 
  To avoid another disaster, the crew relies on technology. They refuse to land, instead pulling objects off the world and feeding the results to their all-knowing computer. What they uncover seems to confirm their worst fears. A race of giants. A violent society. A planet too dangerous to approach. But the truth hides in plain sight, waiting patiently for someone to notice it. 
  Lawrence F. Willard uses humor, irony, and misinterpretation to spin a story where the aliens are not what they think. The tension builds through conversations, cautious decisions, and a slow series of mistakes. The final understanding reveals as much about the explorers as it does about the planet itself. 
  Willard was part of the mid-century wave of imaginative sci-fi writers who explored big questions with lighthearted storytelling. His stories often blend curiosity, science, and wit. Instead of cosmic battles, he focuses on perspective, misunderstanding, and what happens when superior technology meets very human flaws. “Rabbits Have Long Ears” is vintage sci-fi charm — clever, thoughtful, and impossible not to smile at.

  "This is a book about hope." If you look out the window, chances are high you'll spot a bird soaring in the sky or perched on a tree. Nearly 100 million Americans spend time birdwatching every year. Birds provide beauty, pollination, pest control, waste management, a food source, recreation, cultural enrichment, and many other functions important to human life and environmental balance. . . . . . . and now they're disappearing at ever greater rates, thanks to climate change, habitat destruction, and invasive species, among other causes. Written by an acclaimed journalist associated with the Audubon Society, World Without Birds examines the many factors contributing to this devastating loss and what our planet would look like in birds' absence. Organized by ecosystem, each chapter offers an overview of the birds in that environment, then case studies of both one avian species that has gone extinct and one whose numbers have recovered, balancing honesty and optimism for readers of all ages. The final chapter suggests actions that bird lovers can take to help preserve avian lives and habitats. Filled with gorgeous, colorful pictures, including richly illustrated bird guides for each ecosystem, World Without Birds shares a hidden true story of danger, discovery, and hope.
