  Gambling on hope, Evil Eddie and his bad guy friends, feed the hungry slot machines in a small town casino. Work for them is borrowing money by day and gambling by night. A sad story for a bunch of no-good-nicks, but that's all they have is hope... The hope of winning a "Big Jackpot" at the Casino. 
  Fast forward to the year 2050! The casino has been torn down to make room for a Supermall. Not just any Supermall, but one with a very special wishing well. A wishing well filled with magic coins! The Supermall is owned and operated by the dynamic Miss Kelly Kelly who has one very special employee, an alien, with superhero powers! But this Superhero is different. Although he has a cape, he doesn't have a secret identity. He willingly uses his superpowers at his job as the "handy, but sometimes clumsy" alien in the mall. One of his jobs involves granting wishes and cleaning the wishing well, which is full of magic coins. His name is Hoodoo. 
  One day, while showing the wishing well to a local radio announcer, Jack Stumbleberry, Hoodoo accidentally gets sucked down the drain. The drain is a time portal, and Hoodoo is hurled through it. He travels back in time and lands in the casino dripping with water and magic coins. 
  Evil Eddie claims the magic coins as his winnings from the slot machine and tells Hoodoo he won them fair and square. Then with the help of his henchmen, Eddie locks Hoodoo in a big freezer to keep him quiet and out of sight. 
  Now that Hoodoo is out of the picture, Evil Eddie uses the power of the magic coins to take control of the town...

  People aren't always what they play. 
   
  Twelve-year-old Maren is sure theater camp isn’t for her. Theater camp is for loud, confident, artsy people: people like her older sister, Hadley—the last person Maren wants to think about—and her cinema-obsessed, nonbinary bunkmate,  
  Theo. But when a prank goes wrong, Maren gets drawn into the hunt for a diamond ring that, legend has it, is linked to the camp’s namesake, Charlotte “Charlie” Goodman, a promising director in blacklist-era Hollywood. 
   
  When Maren connects the clues to Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, she and her new friends are off searching through lighting booths, orchestra pits, and costume storages, discovering the trail and dodging camp counselors. But they’re not the  
  only ones searching for the ring, and with the growing threat of camp closing forever, they're almost out of time. 
   
  In her compelling debut, Janet Key crafts a heartwarming mystery about finding your people and accepting others as they are.

  Chiang Kai-Shek: The Life and...

  The Republic of China’s most famous leader and general was Chiang Kai-Shek, who rose from humble origins as the son of a local trader to become, as he liked to remind visitors, the ruler over more people than any other world leader. He certainly became one of the most influential leaders of the 20th century, yet today, he is considerably less well-known than many other figures from that period, which was so rife of chaos and tumultuous change. Chiang had come to power at a time when China was rebuilding itself after a period of internal conflict and turmoil, attempting to unify the nation in the face of the Japanese and the man who would become his arch-rival: Mao Zedong, leader of the Chinese Communists. 
  	Chiang’s delicate balancing act required shifting alliances, and his ability to negotiate effectively under the most adverse circumstances continues to make this a difficult period to understand clearly. Even the party that he led, the Kuomintang (KMT), was full of contradictions. The KMT was certainly corrupt and capable of brutality and violent repression of actual or perceived threats, yet it also brought a period of stability and economic growth to an impoverished China, supported women’s rights and land reform, and even established a quota for female members of parliament at a time when no other country in the world had even considered such a thing. After being defeated across mainland China by Mao, Chiang and the KMT moved to the island of Taiwan and presided over the “Taiwan Miracle,” the transition of this island to become one of the industrial and manufacturing leaders of South East Asia. 
  	This is the surprising, fascinating, complex, and sometimes baffling story of Chiang Kai-shek, and the eras of change through which he lived.
