  Dead Man's Planet by Russ Winterbotham - For unmarked ages a dead man kept his ghostly vigil on that barren, frozen asteroid. 
  "A life-saver!" Mick said, bringing the space freighter down with a gentle bump on the huge, shapeless mass of rock and iron that floated between Mars and Jupiter. 
  The term huge was purely relative, for the asteroid was scarcely ten miles in diameter at its thickest point, and its axis could not have been more than twelve miles long. 
  Mick switched off the rockets, opened a locker and pulled forth a suit of heavy, furlined, airtight garments which he slipped over his uniform. 
  The communication speaker buzzed. 
  "Hey, Mick! Are you still on the bridge?" 
  Alf Rankin was calling from the charting room. 
  "Yes, Alf. What's the trouble." Mick Conner was sealing his space suit. 
  "This isn't an ordinary asteroid, Mick. It isn't barren. There's stuff growing on it." 
  "That's nothing to get goggle-eyed about, Alf. There's moss on Eros which is smaller than this. And there are 142 different kinds of plants and one intermediate—animal-vegetable—organism on Juno." 
  "Hm-m!" 
  Of course this was a surprise to Alf, who had never made a landing on the asteroids before. Science had rather neglected the asteroids during the rapid development of interplanetary flight, yet there were many interesting sights to be seen on the 4,000 minor planets that floated between Jupiter and Mars. 
  "Get on your space togs and oxygen helmet and we'll fix that broken jet," Mick said. "We'll be ready to go in three hours." 
  Mick sealed his helmet and stepped into the automatic lock leading from the control bridge to the roof of the streamlined rocket.

  The Rich Man and Lazarus  
  Luke 16: 19-31  
    
  A parable Jesus gave to them. “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and beautiful clothes, and he lived lavishly every day.” 
   “There was also a beggar by the name of Lazarus who sat at his gate each day and his body had a lot of sores.” 
  “And Lazarus wanted to eat the crumbs from the rich man’s table, but then the dogs came and licked his sores.” 
  “Some time had passed and both Lazarus and the rich man died. Lazarus was taken into Abraham’s arms and the rich man was taken into the fiery furnace of hell.” 
  “And the rich man was tormented in hell, and he looked up and saw Lazarus and Abraham a good distance away.” 
  “And he shouted and said, Father Abraham, please have mercy and be kind to me, and send Lazarus so that he can dip his finger in a little water and cool my tongue; for I am being tormented in these flames.” 
  “Abraham replied to him, Son remember in your lifetime you had only good and nice things but Lazarus only bad and evil things. Now he is in comfort, but you are tormented in these flames.” 
  “Moreover, there is a fixed barrier between us. Even if we could help you, we wouldn’t be able to cross.” 
  “The rich man said to Father Abraham, could you at least send him to my house?” 
  “I have five brothers there so that he can warn them about this place of torment so that they will not end up here.” 
  “But Father Abraham replied, They have Moses and the other prophets let your brothers hear them.”

  Named one of New York Public Library's & Bank Street's Best Books of the Year! 
  The Farewell meets Erin Entrada Kelly's Blackbird Fly in this empowering middle grade memoir from debut author Waka T. Brown, who takes readers on a journey to 1980s Japan, where she was sent as a child to reconnect to her family’s roots. 
  When twelve-year-old Waka’s parents suspect she can’t understand the basic Japanese they speak to her, they make a drastic decision to send her to Tokyo to live for several months with her strict grandmother. Forced to say goodbye to her friends and what would have been her summer vacation, Waka is plucked from her straight-A-student life in rural Kansas and flown across the globe, where she faces the culture shock of a lifetime. 
  In Japan, Waka struggles with reading and writing in kanji, doesn’t quite mesh with her complicated and distant Obaasama, and gets made fun of by the students in her Japanese public-school classes. Even though this is the country her parents came from, Waka has never felt more like an outsider. 
  If she’s always been the “smart Japanese girl” in America but is now the “dumb foreigner” in Japan, where is home...and who will Waka be when she finds it?

  Once upon a time there lived a girl who swept floors and washed dishes and was little more than a servant to her family. 
   
  Until, one day, an invitation arrived. 
   
  It was an invitation to a new country and a new beginning—a place where Caroline Herschel’s dreams, her fascination with the night sky, and her extraordinary talent would open up a world of beauty and renown, and make her the belle of the scientific ball. 
   
  From humble beginnings and in spite of many obstacles, Caroline and her brother William developed and built the best telescope in the world—in their backyard!  
   
  Together they went on to discover a new planet, new moons, and vast arrays of unknown nebulae and comets. 
   
  From a child who seemed doomed to a life of servitude, Caroline grew into a woman recognized by kings and queens—and a scientist whose work and discoveries continue to shine today. Pamela S. Turner invites readers into Caroline’s true Cinderella story in this inspiring account of the  
  transformative power of curiosity and the magic—better than any fairy tale—of science.
