A Moth - The Wings of Madness

H. G. Wells

A Moth by H. G. Wells - Two bitter rival scientists are locked in a feud that consumes their lives, but nature has a strange way of taking sides. When an eerie moth appears, the battle takes an unexpected and unsettling turn. 
H.G. Wells (1866–1946) was an English writer, historian, and futurist, best known as one of the pioneers of science fiction. Born in Bromley, England, he trained as a scientist under T.H. Huxley, which influenced his fascination with evolutionary theory and speculative fiction. His groundbreaking novels, including The Time Machine (1895), The War of the Worlds (1898), and The Invisible Man (1897), explored time travel, alien invasions, and scientific hubris, shaping the genre’s future. A prolific writer, Wells also penned social commentaries, predicting technological advancements and global conflicts with eerie accuracy. His works often carried themes of class struggle, ethics, and human progress. Beyond fiction, he was an outspoken socialist and advocate for world peace. His visionary storytelling continues to inspire science fiction writers and filmmakers, securing his legacy as the “father of science fiction.

Weird Kid

Anonimo

From the author of Cog and Voyage of the Dogs, Weird Kid is a hilarious and heartfelt homage to everyone who feels like they don’t belong. Perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Stuart Gibbs.  
Jake Wind is trying to stay under the radar. Whose radar? Anyone who might be too interested in the fact that he has shapeshifting abilities he can’t control. Or that his parents found him as a ball of goo when he was a baby. 
Keeping his powers in check is crucial, though, if he wants to live a normal life and go to middle school instead of being homeschooled (and if he wants to avoid being kidnapped and experimented on, of course). 
Things feel like they’re going his way when he survives his first day of school without transforming and makes a new friend. But when mysterious sinkholes start popping up around town—sinkholes filled with the same extraterrestrial substance as Jake—and his neighbors, classmates, and even his family start acting a little, well, weird, Jake will have to learn to use his powers in order to save his town.  
""The short page count, humor, and action make this a good choice for reluctant readers. A solid purchase for school and public libraries."" —School Library Journal
