When Noah’s dad visits from New York, he and Noah come across an injured nightjar during a walk in the countryside.

In this riff on Arthurian legend, a wizardess who is still mastering her powers goes on an epic quest to save her brother from an evil wizard in this magical adventure perfect for fans of Adam Gidwitz and Amanda Foody! The great wizard Merlyn prophesized that his seventh descendant would do wonderful, miraculous things—baffling everyone when his great-great-many-times-great grandchild turns out to be twins. Soon enough, however, it becomes clear which sibling is the Septimum Genus: Percy is a natural with magic. Merlynda (to put it simply) is not. But Merlynda doesn't mind. Percy has always been by her side to cheer her up (and clean up) after her magical bungles—until the twins attempt a forbidden spell to help her control her magic, and Percy vanishes through a portal and straight into the clutches of the magic-stealing, mythical Hollower. Aided by her best friend (who longs to be a knight), a wandering musician (who is fleeing from his past), and her brand-new, fierce familiar (who yearns for a taste of funnel cake), Merlynda sets off on a quest to rescue her brother. But to defeat this ancient evil, she must discover and embrace her true powers—or else lose her brother for good.Ver livro
Benjamin Franklin was a proud citizen of America all his life. And a proud subject of the British Empire. Until he wasn’t. Under British rule Franklin prospered as a printer, newspaper publisher, and writer. • He served in the Pennsylvania Assembly that made laws for the colony. • He led campaigns to build the first college, library, hospital, and fire department for Philadelphians. • He even proposed a closer political union of Britain and its American colonies to create a stronger Empire. But when the British Parliament began chipping away at the colonies’ rights to govern themselves, Americans rebelled. At first Franklin used all his wit and wisdom to patch up the quarrel. When that failed, his dream of a stronger Empire died. But a new dream was born—an independent America. Gretchen Woelfle uses Franklin’s witty and wise words to portray Benjamin Franklin’s long winding road to revolution.Ver livro
The Shoddy Lands by C. S. Lewis - When a skeptical professor steps into the mind of a former student’s fiancée, he discovers a surreal landscape shaped by vanity, obsession, and alarming emptiness. The Shoddy Lands is a sharp and unsettling exploration of how our inner worlds reveal far more than we intend. Clive Staples Lewis (1898–1963) was a British author, scholar, and Christian apologist whose work has had a lasting impact on literature, theology, and popular culture. Born in Belfast, Ireland, Lewis showed an early passion for storytelling and mythology. He studied at Oxford University and later became a fellow and tutor in English literature at Magdalen College. After serving in World War I, Lewis returned to academia and developed a keen interest in philosophy, literature, and faith. Though raised in a Christian household, Lewis became an atheist in his youth, only to return to Christianity in his early thirties—a journey that profoundly shaped his writing. As a lay theologian, he wrote accessible and powerful works on Christian belief, including Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, and The Screwtape Letters. These texts helped articulate Christian faith for a modern audience, blending reason, imagination, and moral clarity. Lewis is perhaps best known for The Chronicles of Narnia, a seven-book fantasy series that has captivated readers for generations. He also explored science fiction in his Space Trilogy, beginning with Out of the Silent Planet. As a member of the literary circle known as The Inklings—which included close friend J.R.R. Tolkien—Lewis valued imagination as a means of expressing deep truths. C. S. Lewis died in 1963, but his work continues to inspire readers of all ages across the world.Ver livro
