    I can’t sleep.  
My name’s Aidan Grey. I’m a twelve—hold up—nearly thirteen-year-old student at P.O.E Academy, and I study the works of Edgar Allan Poe. My birthday is around the corner, but it’s hard to be excited with all this crushing anxiety. Anxiety over what, you ask? Well, it’s not because final exams are coming, and it’s definitely not because of the horrific incident at the Archives—although that, too, has me on edge. Something even more unnerving has been happening. Vivid, life-like nightmares haunt me. I wake up groggy and confused, detached from reality. I don’t know what to do or who to tell. My parents? My friends? The professor? Maybe I’ll just handle this on my own...

    Alice, a dedicated professional, has spent the last eight years working tirelessly at a prestigious magazine company in Paris. She has sacrificed much of her personal life, leaving her daughter and elder sister in the care of others to focus on her career. Despite her unwavering commitment, she hasn't received a promotion in the last four years. 
On a business trip to Brazil, Alice receives distressing news: a younger colleague is poised to receive a promotion she's longed for. Shocked and disheartened, Alice rushes to complete her work and boards a flight back to Paris. Due to an unexpected mix-up, a young college student named Maxi is upgraded to business class and finds himself seated next to Alice. 
Absorbed in her thoughts, Alice barely notices Maxi until turbulence strikes during the landing. In a moment of fear, she instinctively grabs his hand, sparking a connection. For Maxi, who has never experienced such attention, this moment is life-changing, and he falls for Alice at first sight. However, he remains silent. 
Upon arrival in Paris, Alice hurries to reunite with her daughter and sister, inadvertently leaving her pendrive behind. Maxi finds it and tries to return it, but Alice has already left.  
Back in Paris, Alice's sister suggests she meet a new suitor, but Alice, disillusioned and uninterested, refuses. At work, she faces the coldness of some colleagues but finds support in her friends, John and Claire. Claire soon discovers Maxi's identity and his unexpected connection to Alice. 
As Alice navigates the challenges at work and her evolving feelings, she and Maxi must confront societal expectations and their own insecurities. In this heartfelt tale, "Age is Just a Number," love defies conventions, proving that true connections transcend age.

    The Call of the Wild is a novel by Jack London published in 1903. The story is set in the Yukon during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush—a period in which strong sled dogs were in high demand. The novel's central character is a dog named Buck, a domesticated dog living at a ranch in the Santa Clara Valley of California as the story opens. Stolen from his home and sold into service as sled dog in Alaska, he reverts to a wild state. Buck is forced to fight in order to dominate other dogs in a harsh climate. Eventually he sheds the veneer of civilization, relying on primordial instincts and learned experience to emerge as a leader in the wild. The terrible, never relenting work of pulling sleds in sub-freezing temperatures combined with little food and rest quickly killed any dog not extremely tough. It almost kills Buck but his fierce determination to survive finally brings him through. London lived for most of a year in the Yukon collecting material for the book.

    “Anyone who has ever had trouble feeling brave will be empowered by Marisol.”—NBC News 
Everyone loves sports . . . except Marisol! The stand-alone companion to Newbery Medal winner and New York Times–bestselling Erin Entrada Kelly’s Maybe Maybe Marisol Rainey is an irresistible and humorous story about friendship, family, and fitting in. Fans of Clementine, Billy Miller Makes a Wish, and Ramona the Pest will find a new friend in Marisol.  
Marisol Rainey’s two least-favorite things are radishes and gym class. She avoids radishes with very little trouble, but gym is another story—especially when Coach Decker announces that they will be learning to play kickball. 
There are so many things that can go wrong in kickball. What if Marisol tries to kick the ball . . . but falls down? What if she tries to catch the ball and gets smacked in the nose? What if she’s the worst kickballer in the history of kickball? Marisol and her best friend Jada decide to get help from the most unlikely—and most annoying—athlete in the world: Marisol’s big brother, Oz. 
Told in short chapters, Erin Entrada Kelly’s stand-alone companion novel to Maybe Maybe Marisol Rainey celebrates the small but mighty Marisol, the joys of friendship, the power of being different, and the triumph of persevering. Surely Surely Marisol Rainey is ideal for readers of Kevin Henkes, Meg Medina, Judy Blume, and Beverly Cleary.
