  Blood and Germs - The Civil War...

  Acclaimed nonfiction writer and Sibert Honor winner Gail Jarrow begins her new series on medical fiascoes with an in-depth look at the bloodiest conflict in U.S. history. The Civil War took the lives of more than 600,000 men. Bullet wounds  
  were deadly, but twice as many soldiers died from disease—pneumonia, diarrhea, typhoid fever, measles, and smallpox. Tens of thousands who survived the war were permanently disabled or disfigured. Yet out of this tragedy came medical  
  progress. Doctors and nurses gained valuable experience treating the injured and sick. Military and medical officials recognized that proper sanitation in camps and hospitals could save lives. Improvements to the ambulance service and hospital  
  system lowered the fatality rate. An expert at blending science and history, Jarrow relies heavily on primary documents—first-person accounts and medical case studies—to reveal the true stories behind the battle against wounds and disease.

  Do you know what an endangered species is and why animals become endangered?
  
  Who Will Roar if I Go? will introduce you to 13 animals around the world who have one thing in common: they need your help. With rhyming verse, each animal is sharing a message with you that you will remember for a long time.
  
  The King of the Beasts - that's my claim to fame.
  
  I've got a big crown of hair that's called a mane.
  
  You will meet many animals in Africa: the lion, rhinoceros, and gorilla all have something to tell you.
  
  With black-patchy eyes, I'm chubby and cute.
  
  I'm a lazy bear who chews bamboo shoots.
  
  Next visit snow leopard, elephant, and tiger in Asia, quetzal in South America, panda and salamander in China, red-crowned amazon and blue karner butterflies in North America, and the pangolin in Australia. Their message is simple, but very important for you, the stewards of the earth:
  
  We need you to care and let us live free.
  
  Or there will be no more wild animals to see.
  
  Who Will Roar If I Go? will introduce the basics of endangered species to young children and open up conversations of what we can all do to help.
  
  Will you roar before they go?

  The Man Who Was Pale - A Tale of...

  Jack Sharkey

  The Man Who Was Pale by Jack Sharkey first appeared in Fantastic Science Fiction Stories in December 1959. It begins quietly, on a moonlit night as a man recounts the strange visions that have haunted him since childhood—visions of another life he seems to live only in dreams. As his story unfolds, reality and illusion blur, creating a chilling sense that his dream-self might be more real than the waking world. Sharkey builds his unease gradually, through atmosphere and introspection rather than violence, exploring themes of duality, memory, and the thin veil separating worlds. The result is a story that lingers in the imagination long after it ends, more ghostly than gruesome, and deeply human beneath its mystery. 
  Jack Sharkey (1931–1992) was an American writer known for his wit, imagination, and versatility across science fiction, fantasy, and mystery. A frequent contributor to Fantastic, If, and Galaxy magazines, Sharkey’s stories often combined humor with a sly sense of irony. He was equally at home writing eerie speculative tales or lighthearted satire, bringing intelligence and empathy to both. Beyond short fiction, he wrote plays, mystery novels, and even stage adaptations, earning a devoted following for his deft storytelling and inventive twists. 
  Like many pulp-era authors, Sharkey captured the restless spirit of mid-century speculative fiction—a time when imagination pushed against the limits of reality. The Man Who Was Pale exemplifies his gift for weaving unease and wonder together, inviting readers to question not just what is real, but who they truly are when the lights go out.
