  A Long Way Back - Alone Above A...

  The world ended not in a single flash, but in exhaustion. Cities lie in radioactive ruin, knowledge is scattered like ash, and a small fortified settlement clings to survival with one desperate plan: revive an eighteen-year-old satellite designed to beam solar power back to Earth. Only one man can reach it. 
  Thomas H. Morris is not an engineer. He is a historian. Chosen because he is expendable, conditioned through hypnosis to perform work he does not consciously understand, and launched alone into orbit, Tom must assemble five drifting satellite modules before his oxygen runs out and before the cold of space seeps through his failing ship. Below him waits a community that sees the satellite as salvation. Tom sees something more complicated. As he labors through freezing darkness, he begins to understand that the true struggle is not against space, but against fear—the fear of reopening the shattered cities and the knowledge buried inside them. 
  A Long Way Back is not simply a story about survival in orbit. It is a tense, intimate confrontation between one man and the future he is being asked to secure. With time slipping away and a final adjustment left to make, Tom must decide whether he will follow orders—or force humanity onto a harder, riskier path toward rebuilding itself. 
  Ben Bova would go on to become one of science fiction’s most influential editors and novelists. As editor of Analog Science Fiction and Fact from 1972 to 1978, he helped shape a generation of writers and ideas in hard science fiction. He later won six Hugo Awards for Best Professional Editor and wrote more than 120 books, including the long-running Grand Tour series such as Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. His fiction often grapples with humanity’s relationship to technology and the moral choices that accompany progress.

  From Barbara Dee, the critically acclaimed author of Maybe He Just Likes You, comes a middle grade novel about a girl who makes the choice to speak out against a problematic historical hometown figure no matter the cost—perfect for readers of Dress Coded. 
    
  For as long as Freya can remember, she has loved living in her cozy hometown of Wellstone. Not only is the town itself named for local and historical hero Benjamin Wellstone but everything in it: schools, beaches, and stores. There’s even a giant statue of him to remind everyone of the good things he did. 
    
  But while doing research for a big school project, Freya discovers that Benjamin isn’t the big hero everyone has been taught to believe. He had some redeeming qualities, but he also held incredibly problematic views towards women, believing they shouldn’t have the right to vote—or even to exist outside of the home. Disappointed by her revelation, Freya wonders if she could figure out a way to not only show what the hometown hero was really like but replace his statue with one of an unsung hero: local suffragette Octavia Padgett. 
    
  Though Freya knows not everyone will agree with her, she is shocked when her efforts cause even bigger issues than she could have imagined. Even her own parents seem uneasy with Freya’s cause. With the help of her beloved Nan, friends new and old, and the coolest librarian she’s ever met, can Freya stand firm and tear down outdated views?
