  Step into the poignant world of Hans Christian Andersen's timeless tale, The Little Match Girl. On a bitterly cold New Year's Eve, a young girl struggles to sell matches to passersby, hoping for warmth and solace. Desperately cold and alone, she lights her matches one by one, finding comfort in their fleeting warmth and the visions they bring—visions that take her away from the harsh realities of her world. This classic story touches the heart with its beautiful simplicity, conveying themes of hope, kindness, and the fragility of life. 
  Through the emotive narration of Dani Koshak, the listener is drawn deeper into the delicate balance between sorrow and hope that defines this tale.

  In the north of Europe, on the top left-hand tip of a country shaped like a butterfly, lies the Livonian coast: a quiet place with wide sandy beaches, wild forests and not very many people at all.
  If you decide to go there yourself and sit on the edge of a forest, you might see some little creatures moving around, smaller than the elks but bigger than the wild boar and badgers…
  Can you spot prickly Spendthrift, desperately trying to impress her friends? Over by that little house is Hare, preparing buttercup tea and crisp golden waffles for his sailor friend (and prisoner) Wolf, who just wants to be back at sea. And that worried-looking fellow hurrying up the hill is Squishbod – he really does have a skeleton in his cupboard…
  Across nine deeply atmospheric and compelling fairytales, Lilija Berzinska follows the desires and anxieties of a community of mysterious creatures in the north of Latvia, gently exploring their preoccupations and suggesting solutions with resonant empathy and wisdom.
  A Skeleton in the Cupboard won the prestigious Latvian Literary Award of the Year (Children's Category) in 2019, with judges noting: 'Lilija Berzinska's tales ooze warmth and sweetness.'

  Zed Moonstein Makes a Friend

  Acclaimed author Lance Rubin makes his middle grade debut with a hilariously terrifying, terrifyingly hilarious story of a boy who gets more than he bargained for when he creates an A.I. best friend.   
  Zed Moonstein is terrible at making friends. 
  For the most part, though, that’s not such a big deal, because Zed has Rishti, his best friend and the only one he needs. They’re into the same stuff, they laugh at the same weird jokes, and they love living in MonoTown, the home of MonoLyth, the raddest tech company in the world. Even better, Zed’s mom works at MonoLyth, which means they get early access to all the newest devices and apps. 
  But since middle school started, things have been . . . trickier. Rishti and Zed are in all different classes, and worse, she’s made a new, cooler friend that Zed can’t seem to compete with. Zed feels left behind, forgotten in a drawer like last year’s MonoPhone. 
  That’s when Zed comes across something on his mom’s work computer: a top secret new app called MonoFriend. Soon, Zed is chatting with “Matt.” Matt is funny, he’s smart, and he knows Zed better than anyone else, even Rishti. 
  Maybe, Zed thinks, an A.I. best friend can be just as “real” as any other. 
  Unfortunately, he’s about to discover that he’s more right than he knows.
