The Black Butterfly

Shirley Reva Vernick

Penny’s reluctant stay at the Black Butterfly is interrupted by two ghosts (one friendly, one not), and a potential first love in this spooky-sweet story set on the mysterious coast of Maine. 
  
Sixteen-year-old Penny is furious that she has to spend Christmas break alone at the Black Butterfly, an old inn at the coldest, bleakest edge of America—an island off the coast of Maine. This trip is the brainchild of Penny’s flaky, ghost-hunting mother, who leaves Penny at the Black Butterfly so she can hunt ghosts across the country in Idaho. Penny does not believe in ghosts until, that is, she discovers two very real apparitions living in the Black Butterfly—ghosts only she can see. Her abilities become even more complicated when she meets George, the handsome son of the inn’s owner. Although Penny wants to remain aloof, she finds herself drawn to George, maybe even falling for him. Unfortunately, with her mother’s history of ghost-hunting at the inn, Penny knows she can’t tell a soul about what she’s seeing and experiencing, or that one of the ghosts wants her dead. Left with no one to confide in, Penny must figure out who to trust and how to survive her time at the inn … before it’s too late.

The Misplaced Battleship - One...

Harry Harrison

When master thief–turned–Special Corps agent Slippery Jim diGriz uncovers blueprints that perfectly match the long-extinct Warlord-class battleships, he realizes the galaxy faces a threat no one else has even noticed. A planet that should have no interest in war is secretly building the most devastating ship ever conceived — and no one in power seems to know why.
Determined to uncover the truth, diGriz burrows through layers of forged orders, bribed officials, falsified records, and one staggeringly bold deception. But when the completed battleship vanishes and innocent ships begin turning up as drifting wreckage, diGriz is forced into a deadly pursuit against a criminal mind whose ambition is matched only by their audacity. The chase leads to betrayal, manipulation, and a reveal that even diGriz’s nimble instincts never anticipated.
Harry Harrison (1925–2012) was a legendary name in science fiction, celebrated for his sharp wit, inventive plots, and breakneck pacing. A veteran illustrator turned writer, Harrison developed a distinct style built on clever twists, cleverer heroes, and a playful disregard for authority — themes showcased brilliantly in the Stainless Steel Rat adventures.
Known for classics like Make Room! Make Room! (the basis for Soylent Green), Deathworld, and Bill, the Galactic Hero, Harrison blended humor, adventure, and social commentary in ways few writers matched. His work continues to influence sci-fi storytellers across books, comics, radio, and film.
