Echoes of the Bamboo Flute: A...

Hoang Nguyen

Within the whispering grove of Reedhaven, where flute carvers etch melodies into bamboo and spirit walkers tread paths of ancient reeds, carver Lira bonds melodically with walker Kai, whose steps echo with the grove's forgotten songs. Their echoes, carved in reed vows and wind-kissed notes, play love—or silence the grove in reedless voids. As they wander flute-laced trails and spirit-veiled thickets, echoed by wind wardens and melody rivals, Lira's carving harmony merges with Kai's walking rhythm, revealing a bamboo legend of echoed tune. When a broken reed summons silence shades, they must carve the bond to resound the winds. In the echo of bamboo flutes, where every whisper tunes the heart and every step dances with melody, their melodic bond becomes the song that revives the whispering wood.

Robert E Lee’s Greatest Victories

Editors Charles River

After Lee succeeded the wounded Johnston, he pushed McClellan’s Army of the Potomac away from Richmond and back up the Peninsula in late June, only to then swing his army north to face a second Union army, John Pope’s Army of Virginia. Needing to strike out before the Army of the Potomac successfully sailed back to Washington and linked up with Pope’s army, Lee daringly split his army to threaten Pope’s supply lines, forcing Pope to fall back to Manassas to protect his flank and maintain his lines of communication. At the same time, it left half of Lee’s army (under Stonewall Jackson) potentially exposed against the larger Union army until the other wing (under James Longstreet) linked back up. Thus, in late August 1862, the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of Virginia found themselves fighting over nearly the exact same land the South and North fought over in the First Battle of Bull Run 13 months earlier.  
Of all the Civil War battles fought, and of all the victories achieved by Robert E. Lee at the command of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, the Battle of Chancellorsville is considered the most tactically complex and ultimately the most brilliant Confederate victory of the war. In early May 1863, the Army of the Potomac was at the height of its power as it bore down on Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia near Fredericksburg, where the Confederates had defeated them the previous December. The Union behemoth had spent most of the winter season being reorganized and drilled by “Fighting Joe” Hooker, an aggressive commander who had fought hard at places like Antietam. With an army nearing 130,000 men, Hooker’s Army of the Potomac was twice the size of the Army of Northern Virginia. Lee’s heavily outnumbered army went on to win the most stunning victory of the war, but it cost them nearly 25% of their men and Stonewall Jackson.

Emily Ecton

Ocean's Eleven meets The Secret Life of Pets in this "classic caper" (Booklist) following a ragtag group of pets who will do whatever it takes to avoid being sent to the pound. 
 
 
 
Butterbean knew she wasn't always a good dog. Still, she'd never considered herself a BAD dog—until the morning that her owner, Mrs. Food, fell in the hallway. Admittedly the tile was slipperier than usual, mostly because Butterbean had just thrown up on it. 
 
 
 
Now Butterbean and her fellow pets have to come up with a grand plan to support themselves in case Mrs. Food is unable to keep taking care of them. When they discover a mysterious man in their building who seems to have lots of loot, they plan a heist. Oscar the mynah bird is the brains of the operation. Walt the cat has the necessary slyness and slink. Marco and Polo are the reconnaissance rats. And Butterbean . . . well, no one would ever suspect a cute little wiener dog, right? Can these animal friends can pull off the heist of the century?
