March Mattingly

Sinossi

Embark on a magical journey to the icy realms where glaciers swirl, and a new, young voice echoes through the frigid air. In this enchanting tale, a small and curious voice breaks the silence of the perpetual day, asking the timeless question, "Mama, why is the sky blue?"

Join a wise mother penguin as she unfolds the epic tale of the universe's creation. From the birth of oceans bursting through the earth to the celebration of mountains, jungles, deserts, and grassy plains, the story weaves through the formation of the world.

Even the moon and sun find their place in this cosmic dance. As the celestial duo contemplates which colors to paint the infant sky, flora, fauna, land, and air each offer their unique hues. A captivating moment arises when ten thousand butterflies flutter their wings, and millions of cerulean specks fling their brilliance into the canvas of the sky.

Discover the secret behind the sun choosing the radiant bright blue of daylight and the moon embracing the deep navy of night. This age-old lore reveals how the universe, with the collaborative efforts of creatures from low and high, came together to create the wondrous sky.

Medusa

Katherine Marsh

""You won’t be able to stop turning pages . . . it is so stinking good!” —Colby Sharp, author of The Creativity Project: An Awesometastic Story Collection
From National Book Award finalist Katherine Marsh: Percy Jackson meets Wednesday Addams in this fantastical adventure about Ava, who attends a boarding school for the descendants of Greek monsters and uncovers a terrible secret that could change the world forever.
Ava Baldwin has always tried to keep her anger in check, just like her mom taught her. But when know-it-all classmate Owen King tries to speak over her yet again, Ava explodes . . . and Owen freezes, becoming totally unresponsive.
Although Owen recovers, Ava's parents whisk her off to her mother’s alma mater, the Accademia del Forte, a mysterious international boarding school in Venice. There, Ava and her brother, Jax, discover that the Olympian gods founded the Accademia to teach the descendants of mythological monsters how to control their emotions and their powers and become functioning, well-adjusted members of society.
But not everything at the Accademia is as it seems. After her friend Fia is almost expelled for challenging a teacher, Ava realizes the school is hiding a dangerous secret. To uncover the truth, Ava and her new friends embark on an adventure that could change the way they view history, mythology—and themselves—forever…or end their lives.
Praise for Medusa""I'm in love with this book. Like the best Pixar movies, Katherine Marsh's Medusa is full of layers."" —Jennifer La Garde, The Adventures of Library Girl!""Here is a novel that casts young people as agents of that change, while acknowledging the risks they face when adults, or a pack of patriarchal gods, lie in wait to silence those who speak truth to power. In this feminist retelling, girls take the lead while boys support and trust them."" —The New York Times""Sound the sirens! Katherine Marsh has gifted us with the Greek mythology series we didn't know we were missing!"" —Melissa LaSalle, The Book Mommy and What to Read to Your Kids""A unique and distinctly feminist fantasy series launch set in a contemporary world."" —Publishers Weekly (starred review)""A fast-paced adventure offering a fresh, feminist take on popular themes."" —Kirkus Reviews""A story flipping traditional mythology and the voices telling them on their head starring a resourceful, brave Gorgon. Suggested where mythology stories are popular.” —School Library JournalOne of Kirkus's most anticipated books of 2024!

Con-Fen - When Two Aliens Crash...

James R. Adams

Con-Fen by James R. Adams - The Shisti and the Assistant Shisti of Mars chose Chicago, U.S.A., for their vacation spot. No worries; they were invisible. Plenty of rich food; the joint was loaded. A whole year of frolicking in store. Only one thing they overlooked—there was a curious convention going on.
The landing on the green planet, Koosh told himself in satisfaction, was one of utmost perfection. Not that that made it unusual, since the Martian craft all but handled itself and invariably performed almost one hundred per cent flawlessly. But Koosh did feel that this landing was a little, just a little, better than average, and his ability as pilot had made it so.
Thuko apparently thought the same, for he touched the other on the back of the neck in brief compliment.
Twirling his eye-stalks in pleasure, Koosh pressed a button on the control panel and arose to follow Thuko to the opening airlock, hopping on one leg, which happened to be all that he or any Martian possessed.
They emerged into warm, late summer air. For a moment they stood, filling their lungs, reveling in the rich, heady atmosphere that was so unlike their own.
"Wonderful, Thuko!" Koosh enthused. "And to think we have a full year of it ahead of us!"
"You are no less pleased than I," Thuko agreed. "But we must take care that nothing happens to the ship in that time. Loss of it would mean the end of all this."
He did not need to mention the reason. Koosh knew that it was because the small craft was the only one in existence. At least, as far as Mars was concerned. And of course that was because—well, actually it was not a Martian ship.
Thousands of years ago a lone, exploring Jovian had landed on Mars. After brief inspection of the machine, the Martians had decided it was a thing much worth having.

Journey of an apprentice pilgrim...

Felipe Chavarro Polanía

We present a heartfelt tribute to what many call vocation or purpose. Join me in the journey of a young man, Kadmiel, as he ventures through various trades in search of his true calling, reflecting the experiences shared by millions worldwide, as Vicki Robin eloquently conveyed in her book, "The Stock Market or Life." Some find their passion early on and follow a steady path, while others, like Kadmiel, zigzag through a dozen jobs, always moving forward. 
However, this work serves a dual purpose. Beyond just Kadmiel's tale, it aims to awaken us from the slumber of life's vicious cycle. Most of us find ourselves trapped in the belief that work solely exists to pay the bills, inadvertently forgetting the essential question: What about our happiness? Vicki Robin's words beautifully encapsulate this scenario - if the daily grind truly brought us joy and a sense of fulfillment, the trials and inconveniences would be a minor price to pay. But increasingly, it's evident that money doesn't guarantee the happiness we seek beyond a certain level of comfort. 
If this resonates with you in any way, this book is meant for you. It delves into the quest for meaning and happiness that many of us find ourselves on.
