  When Lina discovers a glowing golden feather on her pillow one moonlit night, she and her scruffy little dog Rex are swept into a secret world hidden inside the moon—where dreams are kept alive by thousands of magical clocks. But not all clocks are ticking. Some are broken, some forgotten, and others swallowed by shadows. With the help of the wise and gentle Clockmaker, Lina learns that even the darkest nightmares can be mended with courage, hope, and the light within her own heart. Together, Lina, Rex, and the Clockmaker journey through halls of shimmering starlight and shadowy chambers of broken dreams, discovering that every child’s dream is precious—because when dreams stop ticking, hope begins to fade. 
  ✨ A beautifully illustrated, heartwarming tale of wonder, courage, and healing, The Clockmaker of broken dreams (book one in 9 book series) will inspire children to believe in the magic of their own dreams—and remind parents of the timeless power of hope and love. Perfect for ages 6–10, bedtime reading, and dreamers of all ages.

  F O B Venus - A Cargo Lost A...

  F. O. B. Venus by Nelson S. Bond - Lancelot Biggs was perhaps the worst second mate Captain Hanson had ever shipped, and he was convinced of it when he ruined their cargo. But how dumb a man is, may sometimes be a matter of opinion. 
  Something had gone a little haywire with my bug, and I had just repaired it and was CQ-ing on the 20 band when the door opened and Captain Hanson walked in. 
  Naturally, I was surprised. We were only four hours out of the Venus H-layer, and I hadn't expected any visitors; least of all the skipper. But he plunked himself down in the best chair and said, "Sparks, look at me! What do you see?" 
  That gave me a jolt. Even the best of them make the old dipsy-doo once in a while, but I never thought I'd live to see the day when Captain Hanson went space nutty. He'd been with the Corporation, man and boy, for more than thirty years now, and had never spent a day in dry-dock. I reached behind me cautiously and said in as soothing a voice as I could muster, "Why, I see a very nice man, Captain. Now, just you sit quiet for a minute. I've got to—" 
  "Stop bein' a damned fool, Sparks!" said the skipper wearily, "An' put down that monkey-wrench! I'm not slippin' my gravs—yet. I'm just askin' you a simple question. What do you see?" 
  I said, "Is it facts you're after, Cap, or am I allowed poetic license? If it's facts, I see a swell, slightly gray-haired guy in his middle fifties who's been through the mill, knows space like a book, and—" 
  "Wrong!" said Hanson. "Sparks, all radiomen are dumb. I guess that's why they're radiomen. What you see before you is a broken man. A man sadly buffeted by Fate and the dread clutch of circumstances. Not to mention meddlesome vice-presidents." 
  This time I got it. 
  "Biggs?" I said. 
  "Yes, Sparks. Biggs. Now tell me, man to man, what did I ever do to deserve Biggs?"

  The Complete Wizard of Oz Collection includes the 14 original Oz stories written by L. Frank Baum.

Frank Baum, who went on to write fourteen full-length Oz books. Even while he was alive, Baum was styled as the Royal Historian of Oz to emphasize the concept that Oz is an actual place.

  2. The Marvelous Land of Oz (1904)

  The Pause

  The Pause by Isaac Asimov 
  The white powder was confined within a thin-walled, transparent capsule. The capsule in turn was heat-sealed into a double strip of parafilm. Along that strip of parafilm were other capsules at six-inch intervals. 
  The strip moved. Each capsule in the course of events rested for one minute on a metal jaw immediately beneath a mica window. On another portion of the face of the radiation counter a number clicked out upon an unrolling cylinder of paper. The capsule moved on; the next took its place. 
  The number printed at 1 P.M. was 308. A minute later 256 appeared. A minute later, 391. A minute later, 477. A minute later, 202. A minute later, 251. A minute later, 000. A minute later, 000. A minute later, 000. A minute later, 000. 
  Shortly after 2:00 P.M. Mr. Alexander Johannison passed by the counter and the corner of one eye stubbed itself over the row of figures. Two steps past the counter he stopped and returned. 
  He ran the paper cylinder backward, then restored its position and said, "Nuts!" 
  He said it with vehemence. He was tall and thin, with bigknuckled hands, sandy hair and light eyebrows. He looked tired and, at the moment, perplexed. 
  Gene Damelli wandered his way with the same easy carelessness he brought to all his actions. He was dark, hairy, and on the short side. His nose had once been broken and it made him look curiously unlike the popular conception of the nuclear physicist.
