  Twelve-year-old Juillet is preparing for the worst summer ever. She and her mom are staying in the seaside neighborhood of Ocean Park, California, for a month, where her mom will be working at the local hospital and Juillet will be on her own, like always. 
  Her dad is off in Europe with his new girlfriend, and her best friend, Fern . . . well, Juiller isn’t allowed to talk to Fern anymore. Fern took the blame for Juillet’s goth-girl clothes and “not-real” fears, like sharks and rip currents and the number three. 
  Then Juillet meets Summer, a local surfer girl who knows the coolest people and places around town. With free-spirited and adventurous Summer, Juillet begins to come out of her shell and face the things weighing her down. But when Summer reveals her own painful secret, it’s Juillet’s turn to be the strong and supportive friend.

  Dance of the Dead by Richard Matheson 
  Richard Matheson was an influential American author known for his contributions to science fiction, horror, and fantasy literature. His unique storytelling style and exploration of existential themes have left an indelible mark on the literary world. 
  Matheson's literary career began in the 1950s when he started writing short stories for magazines like The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction and Galaxy Science Fiction. His early works often featured themes of isolation, fear, and the human condition. 
  One of Matheson's notable attributes was his versatility as a writer. He effortlessly transitioned between genres, exploring science fiction, horror, fantasy, and even westerns. This diversity allowed him to reach a wide audience and gain recognition across various literary circles. 
  Matheson's impact on popular culture cannot be overstated. His works have inspired countless writers, filmmakers, and artists across generations. His ability to tap into universal fears and emotions resonates with audiences to this day. 
  Perhaps Matheson's most famous work, I Am Legend, published in 1954, is a seminal piece of vampire fiction. The novel, set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by vampires, explores themes of loneliness, survival, and the human psyche. 
  Another significant work by Matheson, The Shrinking Man (1956), tells the story of a man who begins to shrink after being exposed to a radioactive cloud. The novel delves into themes of identity, mortality, and the insignificance of humanity in the face of the unknown. 
  Hell House (1971) is a chilling tale of a haunted house and the team of investigators tasked with uncovering its secrets. Matheson masterfully blends elements of horror and psychological suspense, creating a gripping narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.

  Are the snowy owls in trouble? Venture into the Alaskan arctic and the summer realm of these predator birds to find out. Discover the diverse species necessary to owl survival, how climate change is affecting the landscape of their nesting site of past millennia, and what it takes to do field research in this action-packed addition to the award-winning Scientists in the Field series. 
  It's July on Alaska's North Slope, and scientist Denver Holt is in Utqiagvik surveying nests. Denver has been coming here since 1992, and the snowy owls he studies have been coming here much longer: thousands of years. 
  With its mix of coastal, low-elevation tundra and a rich presence of lemmings, the North Slope is the only area in Alaska where snowy owls regularly nest. How do snowy owls decide where they will nest? How do they manage to arrive at locations where food will be abundant? What drives the success of these delicate tundra ecosystems? These are the mysteries Denver is trying to solve to help ensure a bright future for these elegant hunters.
