  ‘This captivating series of adventures is ideal for those who love whimsical humour’ Guardian, Best Children’s Books of the Year 
  Written by Carnegie and Costa Award-winning author Sally Gardner, Pernickety Boo is the unforgettable story of a very unusual umbrella. 
  'Hello,' said the umbrella. 
  'Gosh,' said the boy. The umbrella's handle was carved in the shape of a dog’s head, with a very long snout and a shiny nose and ears that flopped back. 'You can talk.' 
  'I suppose I can,' said the umbrella. 
  'Do you have a name?' asked the boy. 
  'No,' said the umbrella. 'Do I need a name?' 
  'Yes,' said the small boy. 'You need one for someone to let you in at the front door, and another name to be let out the back door.' 
  Brought to life by a careless sorcerer, Pernickety Boo is a well-educated umbrella with unexplored magical powers – and after he is left behind on the London Underground by his forgetful creator, Pernickety must find an owner: someone who will truly love him. 
  So when Pernickety meets young Sylvie Moonshine and is welcomed into her home, he thinks that all of his prayers have been answered. But there are plenty of other people who are also interested in the magical umbrella, and who threaten to separate Pernickety from his beloved Sylvie, unless he can find a way to stop them. 
  Perfect for fans of A Bear Called Paddington, The Velveteen Rabbit, and Winnie-the-Pooh, this instant classic is a book for the whole family to share. 
  In this heartwarming tale of friendship and imagination, Pernickety Boo, the magical umbrella, embarks on a journey that is both humorous and touching. The story is a delightful blend of social themes and juvenile fiction, perfect for the old and the young, the avid reader and the reluctant one. 
  For fans of Adam Gidwitz (The Madre de Aguas of Cuba), Hatem Aly (The Book That Almost Rhymed), Andrew Clements (The Frindle Files), Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), and Susan Cooper (Peter and Wendy).

  What if a simple shortcut to work changed the course of human history—and someone else’s? In Prominent Author by Philip K. Dick, Henry Ellis is a middle-aged office worker who uses a state-of-the-art “Jiffi-scuttler,” a teleportation gate that carries him instantly between his suburban backyard and the heart of New York City. But on one routine trip, he discovers a strange “thin place” inside the tunnel—one that reveals an entire race of tiny, intelligent people living in a world that exists outside normal space and time. They see him as a towering being, a godlike figure who can answer their desperate questions. And Henry, bored with his life, begins answering them—through translated notes—changing their civilization one tiny step at a time. 
  But Henry’s secret doesn’t stay secret. Corporate surveillance, scientific consequences, and the strange relationship between worship and ego collide, and soon Henry learns that playing god can have very real, very personal consequences. What begins as a private thrill quickly becomes an impossible choice—with two worlds watching. 
  Philip K. Dick (1928–1982) is one of the most influential voices in 20th-century speculative fiction. Known for mind-bending stories about reality, identity, and technology, he wrote more than 120 short stories and 40 novels, including Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (the basis for Blade Runner), Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly, and The Man in the High Castle. His work predicted everything from virtual reality to surveillance culture, and he remains a landmark figure in both science fiction and modern philosophy. 
  Dick’s early short fiction shows the origins of his major themes: alternate worlds, corporate power, the fragility of reality, and the blurred line between the ordinary and the impossible. This story is classic PKD: clever, funny, unsettling, and still relevant today.
