    Sona decides to run for class leader! But her friend Joy is running too. Does Sona really want to lead, or just to win? Chitra Soundar shines a light on democracy in the latest book in this charming series. 
  
Sona’s class is excited when Miss Rao announces that there will be an election for class leader. But when Pradeep, who is always boasting, says he would be the best choice, Sona knows she doesn’t want him to win. So Sona stands up and volunteers to be a candidate too! Strangely, her best friends, Joy and Renu, don’t seem happy about it—in fact, they stop talking to Sona altogether. When it turns out that Joy also wants to run for class leader, Sona doesn’t know what to do. It’s true that Joy has some great ideas for the class, and Sona hasn’t thought much beyond stopping Pradeep from winning, but Sona entered the race first and doesn’t want to drop out. With advice and support from her family, Sona realizes that no one can become a leader on their own. Readers can explore election terms and ideas along with Sona, as well as a glossary of Indian words (like bonda, a delicious South Indian doughnut) at the end.

    The game is far from over. In fact, it's only just begun. 
Having finally reached the Isle of Ever, Everly "Benny" Benedict thinks she's won the game of clues her ancestor Evelyn Terry set out for her in her will. Only she can't prove it yet—not until her new friends are safe from the curse that has kept them trapped for centuries! 
And now there's a new game. It turns out that Evelyn has more secrets in her diary and another task for Benny: to find the lost piece of pirate treasure needed to break the curse once and for all. It won't be easy. One of her best friends has betrayed her; the kids from the island are just discovering twenty–first–century life, and a mysterious stranger mentioned in Evelyn's diary has somehow turned up in present–day Greenport. 
Benny has to figure it all out in just a few days. If time runs out, someone else can claim the inheritance, and the Isle of Ever will disappear again for another two hundred years!

    New Year's Nursery Rhymes -...

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  This collection of nearly fifty original New Year nursery rhymes was specifically created for children aged six to eight, drawing inspiration from the beloved tradition of Christmas carols and rhymes but focusing entirely on the themes of transition, celebration, and new beginnings associated with the New Year. The primary purpose of these rhymes is to provide engaging, age-appropriate literary content that introduces young readers to the customs, emotions, and excitement surrounding the end of one year and the start of the next. 
 
Each rhyme, crafted to be approximately 1,000 characters long, explores a unique facet of the holiday. Themes range from the thrilling anticipation of the **New Year's Countdown** and the spectacle of **Fireworks in the Sky** to the quieter, more reflective moments of **Making Resolutions** and watching **The Last Sunset of the Year**. The collection also covers cultural and symbolic elements, such as the meaning of **Auld Lang Syne**, the folklore of **Father Time and Baby New Year**, and various **Good Luck Traditions**. 
 
By blending whimsical storytelling with rhythmic language, the rhymes aim to foster literacy, encourage family discussion about traditions, and cultivate a sense of hope and optimism for the future. The accompanying book cover images, designed to be visually appealing and thematically rich, further enhance the collection's potential as a valuable resource for parents, educators, and young readers looking to celebrate the New Year with joy and imagination. The entire project serves as a comprehensive, festive literary toolkit for welcoming the brand new year.
