    From award-winning author Katryn Bury of the Drew Leclair series, this hopeful coming-of-age middle grade novel follows the unlikely friendship between Sam, a recent cancer survivor, and a popular girl at school as they come together on a quest to uncover the truth about alien life in honor of Sam’s best friend’s final wishes. This powerful story of friendship and grief is a gentle reminder that we are never alone in the universe. 
    Sam Kepler Greyson doesn’t want to be the “cancer kid.” After losing his best friend and fellow UFO enthusiast, Oscar, to brain cancer, Sam wants to focus on anything but his own cancer—maybe even a normal year of middle school. 
    But whispers in the halls and lingering grief over Oscar make Sam’s return much harder. To make matters worse, he is paired with popular girl Cat for a history project. Between Cat’s icy attitude and troubling rumors that Sam lied about having cancer, nothing seems to be going well. 
    Things start to look up when Cat and Sam unexpectedly bond over the UFO obsession he once shared with Oscar—but Sam isn’t sure he’s ready to open up to someone again. With the chance for a fresh start within reach, he worries that coming clean about his illness will only make Cat pity him. Hiding the truth also helps Sam avoid the biggest worry of all: What if his cancer comes back? 
    “Bury writes about grief and being a survivor with honesty and humor in this captivating mystery that explores friendship and the power of believing.” —Jennifer Chambliss Bertman, New York Times bestselling author of the Book Scavenger series and Sisterhood of Sleuths 
    “Katryn Bury is a master of middle grade voice. A powerful, heartfelt exploration of loss, grief, and friendship. I absolutely loved it.” —Micahel Leali, award-winning author of The Civil War of Amos Abernathy and Matteo 
    “A beautiful and original exploration of friendship and its power to make us more than just the sum of our parts. Funny, tender, and insightful, Sam’s voice will stay with readers long after they turn the final page.” —Ali Standish, award-winning author of The Improbable Tales of Baskerville Hall 
    “Bury expertly balances humor and heartache as Sam’s story explores grief, new friendships, and starting over, but it also celebrates enticing mysteries of the unknown in a way that is sure to engage readers. A quietly powerful novel.” —A. J. Sass, award-winning author of Ellen Outside the Lines and Ana on the Edge 
    ""A moving, humorous exploration of friendship and trust."" —Kirkus Reviews

    Conger is a hunter, a smuggler, and a convicted criminal with nothing left to lose—until a powerful council offers him a way out. His task is unprecedented: travel back in time and eliminate the founder of a movement that reshaped civilization, before the man ever speaks his first words. The only clue he’s given is a skull, two centuries old, carried with him as proof. 
    As Conger moves through a suspicious mid-twentieth-century town, tracking a man who does not yet know his own importance, the mission grows increasingly uncertain. Philip K. Dick layers time travel, social paranoia, and moral tension into a story that questions authority, sacrifice, and whether history can—or should—be changed. 
    Philip K. Dick is one of the most influential voices in classic science fiction, known for exploring identity, power, and distorted realities. His work frequently examines how individuals are shaped—and manipulated—by institutions that claim to act for the greater good. 
    Stories like The Skull showcase Dick’s early mastery of philosophical science fiction, where speculative concepts are inseparable from human consequence. His ideas continue to influence modern literature, film, and television decades after their publication.
