    The Hadley family lives in a fully automated Happylife Home, where machines cook, clean, and even soothe them to sleep. At the heart of the house is the nursery, a vast simulation chamber that turns a child’s thoughts into vivid landscapes—but lately, George and Lydia Hadley have noticed that their children’s minds keep returning to the same unsettling place: the African veldt, complete with lions, heat, and distant screams. 
    As the parents struggle to understand why Wendy and Peter are so fixated on this harsh landscape, the nursery’s realism becomes impossible to dismiss. The veldt is no longer a harmless fantasy but a window into emotions their children refuse to express out loud, forcing the Hadleys to confront how thoroughly they’ve surrendered their roles to the house’s machines. 
    Ray Bradbury—one of the most influential voices in 20th-century science fiction—explores technology, family, and responsibility with powerful clarity. His work blends poetic storytelling with sharp warnings about convenience, automation, and the human cost of giving too much away to machines. 
    Known for Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and dozens of iconic short stories, Bradbury shaped modern speculative fiction. “The Veldt” is an early example of his talent for mixing wonder with tension, showing how imagination, when untended, can reveal more truth than comfort.

    In this cute and queer contemporary middle grade comedy about friendship, first crushes, and first kisses, twelve-year-old Noah Frye comes up with a foolproof plan to teach herself how to have a crush on a boy to fit in better with her friends—only to discover she’s been looking in the wrong place, and her crush was right beside her all along . . .  
    Noah Frye just had the Best Summer Ever. Not only did she have an epic time at science camp, but her new camp friend Jessa is going to Noah’s school in the fall. Noah can’t wait to introduce Jessa to her best friends Zoey and Luna when classes start. But when the friend group is reunited after their summer apart, something seems to have changed: Zoey and Luna have discovered boys, and now it’s all they want to obsess over. 
    Suddenly, it feels like Noah is the odd one out in their friend group, especially since Noah hasn’t ever even considered boys in that way. When Noah finds herself caught in a lie about having a boy crush of her own, she decides she’ll do anything to fit in with her friends again—even if that means using the scientific method. Noah’s crush experiment is simple: find a boy, fake a crush until it turns real, and get her friends back. But that might be easier said than done, especially when Noah can’t stop thinking about Jessa. What ensues is a hilarious and heartwarming turn of events in this queer contemporary middle grade story about friendship, first crushes, and self-discovery.
