Jerry Todd and the Whispering Mummy

Leo Edwards

Sinopsis

When I had this story all wrote down on paper, I gave it to Scoop Ellery and said: “You take it home and read it and see if I’ve left out anything.” Scoop, who is my pal and shared in the adventure, read the story and said: “No, Jerry, I don’t think you’ve left out a thing. I like the way you tell the story, too. That part where the mummy whispers is spooky and shivery; and there’s a lot of fun and oodles of mystery. Yes,” he added, wanting to hand me a little praise for the work I had done, “it’s a pretty slick story, and I bet you that boys who like to get hold of a good book will eat it up.”

The Beast of Boredom - The...

Richard R. Smith

War between Earth and Mars has left ruins across a dying world, and one weary soldier returns home with a strange souvenir taken from a terrified Martian. The metal globe is studded with jewels and looks like nothing more than a valuable curiosity—until one small ruby is pried loose and the impossible begins.
Suddenly the same ten minutes repeat again and again. Every action resets. Every wound disappears. Every conversation begins as if it has never happened before. At first the phenomenon seems harmless, even fascinating. With no danger and no physical limits, the trapped man begins experimenting with his strange new prison. He reads every book in sight, calls every number in the telephone directory, explores every corner of the building, and invents endless games to keep his mind occupied.
But the ten minutes never end.
Days stretch into weeks. Weeks stretch into years. The same chair. The same table. The same ruby rolling across the surface. As the cycles pile up into decades, the strange Martian device reveals its true purpose. It was never meant to kill quickly. It was meant to grind a mind down slowly.
Because boredom can be more dangerous than any weapon.
Richard R. Smith’s The Beast of Boredom turns a simple time-loop premise into a chilling psychological trap. The story asks a disturbing question: how long could a mind survive if forced to live the same ten minutes forever?
Richard R. Smith published several science fiction stories during the 1950s, contributing to pulp and digest magazines that shaped the era’s imaginative fiction. The Beast of Boredom appeared in the July 1957 issue of Amazing Stories, a magazine that introduced generations of readers to strange inventions, alien civilizations, and speculative ideas about time and space.

The Forget-Me-Not Summer

Leila Howland

This charming story about three California sisters spending the summer on Cape Cod is perfect for fans of The Penderwicks—as a starred ALA Booklist review raved—and The Mother-Daughter Book Club. 
Though Marigold, Zinnia, and Lily Silver couldn’t be more different, they’re all excited about summer vacation. Twelve-year-old Marigold is hoping to get her first kiss from her big crush, while Zinnia, eleven, will most likely spend her time in Marigold’s shadow. And five-year-old Lily, though angelic, has a knack for stirring up mischief wherever she goes. 
But all of their plans come crashing down when the sisters’ parents send them to Cape Cod to visit their Aunt Sunny. Small-town life is not what these LA girls had in mind. They must adjust, however, to things like sharing a room and living without a TV. With the help of Aunt Sunny’s cheery disposition and her yummy brownies, though, the girls are quickly won over, and before Marigold, Zinnie, and Lily know it, they’re cracking lobster shells at clambakes, making new friends, and even organizing a local talent show. 
Full of moments both humorous and reflective, The Forget-Me-Not Summer is a story about three girls facing their fears, adjusting to change, and learning how to band together as the strongest version of themselves: sisters. Be sure to catch the sequel, The Brightest Stars of Summer, for more fun on Cape Cod!
