    When astronomers announce that the Moon has been torn from its orbit and is racing toward Earth, panic spreads across the globe—but escape is impossible. Civilization braces for impact as oceans rise, winds roar, and the sky turns a haunting copper color. In the remote wilderness of Labrador, a pilot and a wireless operator find themselves unexpectedly positioned to survive the greatest catastrophe humanity has ever faced. 
    As the Moon draws nearer, they endure relentless storms, earthquakes, and tidal waves, witnessing forces of nature beyond comprehension. What follows is not just the destruction of the world they knew, but a startling transformation of the planet itself. When the Moon Fell is a sweeping, thought-provoking vision of cosmic disaster, resilience, and the fragile hope of rebuilding after the unthinkable. 
    Morrison Colladay was an early science-fiction writer whose work captured the era’s fascination with astronomy, aviation, and the power of scientific inquiry. Writing at a time when radio communication and flight were reshaping human possibility, Colladay blended scientific speculation with vivid, grounded storytelling. 
    Though little is known about his personal life, Colladay’s fiction reflects a deep respect for scientists, explorers, and ordinary individuals facing extraordinary circumstances. When the Moon Fell stands as his most enduring contribution—a bold, imaginative tale that reflects both the anxieties and the optimism of early twentieth-century science fiction.

    The unbelievable true story of the greatest Ping-Pong rivalry in Bayonne High School history. 
    Entering his senior year at BHS, Brian Canever had only two items left on his teenage bucket list. First, to kiss a girl. And then, to make history. 
    Standing in his way was Eddy Fink, the undefeated champion who, among the members of the school’s Ping-Pong club, was known simply as “Paddlehands.” After Fink ruthlessly demolished the author's best friends in the lead-up to the final tournament of their high school lives, Canever stepped to the championship table knowing full well what was on the line. 
    When his promising plan backfired, he languished for nearly two decades before making a harrowing decision: to call his rival back from the dead and meet one last time inside the musty BHS gymnasium. 
    Recounted with sincerity and wit, Paddlehands is a coming-of-age epic that will have readers scouring Facebook to resurrect their own childhood adversaries in the hope of settling old scores and, once and for all, being crowned king.

    For the first time ever, Willow Moss is going to school. 
    Magical children have long been barred from attending school. And the sudden reversal of the rule by the mysterious (and nefarious) Brothers of Wol seems too good to be true. Why would they decide to change it now? 
    Willow, though hesitant, embarks on this new path with her usual courage and determination. On her first day, she meets new friends Twist and Peg, who will soon become her next partners-in-adventure. 
    Because Willow is about to be tasked with her most urgent mission yet: to protect the children of Starfell, uncover the mystery of a long-lost kingdom—and prevent the very source of all magic from falling into the wrong hands.
