Escape From Pluto - Dictator In...

William Oberfield

Marcius Kemble once commanded armies and bent entire planets to his will. Now he stands alone on the frozen surface of Pluto, stripped of rank, allies, and authority, exiled by the very worlds he tried to conquer. The silence should have broken him. Instead, it feeds the rage still burning inside his mind.
When unseen intelligences probe his thoughts and offer him a way off the desolate plain, Kemble sees only opportunity. He accepts their help, learns the controls of an unfamiliar craft, and launches himself back toward the inner system with visions of retaliation blazing in his imagination. He believes he has outlasted defeat. He believes he has been underestimated.
But Pluto is not Earth. Its inhabitants are not human. And the laws that govern their machines are not meant for warmth, sunlight, or ambition.
What begins as exile turns into something far more unsettling. Kemble may be leaving Pluto, but he is not escaping judgment. The deeper he travels into space, the more certain it becomes that someone has calculated his future more precisely than he ever calculated conquest.
William Oberfield crafted a sharp planetary tale that blends space opera tension with a cool understanding of physics. First published during the height of interplanetary fiction’s popularity, “Escape From Pluto” captures the era’s fascination with distant worlds while grounding its climax in a clever, science-driven twist. Oberfield’s work appeared in science fiction magazines of the 1940s and 1950s, where writers frequently explored the outer planets as strange but scientifically plausible frontiers. In this story, Oberfield uses Pluto not just as a setting, but as a decisive force—one that proves colder and more exacting than any human enemy.
If you enjoy classic solar system adventures where arrogance meets hard reality, this one delivers its reckoning in unforgettable fashion.

The Turtle of Oman

Naomi Shihab Nye

Praised by the Horn Book as “both quiet and exhilarating,” this novel by the acclaimed poet and National Book Award Finalist Naomi Shihab Nye follows Aref Al-Amri as he says goodbye to everything and everyone he loves in his hometown of Muscat, Oman, as his family prepares to move to Ann Arbor, Michigan. This book was awarded a 2015 Middle East Book Award, was named a Notable Book by the American Library Association, and includes extra material by the author.  
Aref Al-Amri does not want to leave Oman. He does not want to leave his elementary school, his friends, or his beloved grandfather, Siddi. He does not want to live in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where his parents will go to graduate school. His mother is desperate for him to pack his suitcase, but he refuses. Finally, she calls Siddi for help. But rather than pack, Aref and Siddi go on a series of adventures. They visit the camp of a thousand stars deep in the desert, they sleep on Siddi's roof, they fish in the Gulf of Oman and dream about going to India, and they travel to the nature reserve to watch the sea turtles. At each stop, Siddi finds a small stone that he later slips into Aref's suitcase—mementos of home. 
Naomi Shihab Nye's warmth, attention to detail, and belief in the power of empathy and connection shines from every page. Features black-and-white spot art and decorations by Betsy Peterschmidt.
