  Brand-new first grader Ava Lin is determined to find a best friend—even if she’s a bit unclear on how to go about it—in this launch of a funny, super relatable chapter-book series.  
    
  Ava Lin is six and a half years old, and she loves bubble tea, finding treasures, and animals (note the 117 varieties of pets on her wish list). She’s very good at drawing and balancing pasta on her nose. And there’s a Very Exciting Thing happening in her life right now: tomorrow is her first day of first grade! Which means she gets a new backpack, new pencils, and a new lunch box. But what she really wants to get in first grade is a best friend, which isn’t as easy as she thought.  
    
  Ava’s quest has her navigating some confusing social rules, with unintentionally comical results—but she always manages to wriggle out of her mishaps in ways young readers will find very familiar. With an engaging text, Vicky Fang draws on her Chinese American family’s experience to create a heroine kids will instantly love.

  The second book in a young middle grade mystery-adventure series about Horace, an anxious Boston Terrier, and Bunwinkle, an exuberant potbellied pig, who team up to solve crimes in their barnyard and local neighborhood—perfect for fans of Mercy Watson, The Trouble with Chickens, and A Boy Called Bat.  
  Horace is flying high after solving the pet-tectives' first mystery. But Bunwinkle just hasn’t been herself—she’s scared all the time and is too embarrassed to tell anyone.  
  Before they can work on getting Bunwinkle’s confidence back, a new case lands in their laps—well, actually their trash cans—when Shoo the raccoon asks for help. The neighborhood humans think he’s behind a series of garbage upheavals and home break-ins—but he swears he’s innocent. Just because people call him a trash bandit doesn’t mean he is one.  
  To make matters worse, while the pet-tectives are trying to clear Shoo’s name, they learn that Eleanor is having money problems. She hopes to solve them by starting a community Farmer’s Market in the back field. The neighbors seem excited to help at first but then, one by one, they suddenly drop out.   
  With time running out, can the pet-tectives solve the mysteries and save Shoo and the Homestead?

  Human Is - He Came Back...

  Philip K. Dick

  What makes a person truly human—their body, or the mind and heart that guide it? In Human Is, Philip K. Dick presents a haunting and quietly emotional story about a loveless marriage, a dying alien world, and a husband who becomes more human only after something else takes his place. When Lester Herrick returns from the planet Rexor IV, he’s not the cold, calculating scientist he once was. He’s thoughtful, affectionate, and even capable of love. But the more he changes, the more the government becomes suspicious, and his wife faces a decision no one should ever have to make. 
  Human Is isn’t a tale of lasers and space battles—it’s a story of identity, empathy, and what it really means to be alive. Dick twists the expected science-fiction premise into a moral paradox: if the alien is kinder than the human, who is the monster? 
  Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) was one of the most influential voices in 20th-century science fiction. His stories explore shifting realities, authoritarian systems, paranoia, and the fragile nature of identity—ideas later adapted into Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall, The Man in the High Castle, and many more. During his early career in the 1950s, Dick wrote dozens of short stories for pulp magazines, experimenting with big ideas on small word counts—and Human Is stands among the most emotionally resonant. 
  If you’re new to Philip K. Dick, this is a perfect entry point. If you’re already a fan, you’ll recognize the signature mix of futurism, humanity, and dread that made him a legend.
