Sinopse

When Timothee leaves his home in France to attend law school in America, he believes he is doing what he has always been destined to do. His parents died when he was very young, and a note from his father is Timothee’s only connection to him. The letter compels Timothee to pursue law, even though it means giving up his filmmaking dreams. Not long after he gets to California, a mysterious envelope containing a strange script arrives on his doorstep, setting Timothee on a path he never imagined in his wildest dreams.Inspired by Old Hollywood, this intriguing noir novel set in 1960s Los Angeles is the perfect escape. It tells the tale of ambition, misplaced promises, hope, and the very real potential that the impossible might just be possible. All the while, unexpected friendships will be forged and rekindled, important questions will be answered, movie stars will be met, secrets will be uncovered and new ones will appear. Most important, though, is the question of where that script is coming from and whether Timothee will eventually find what he has spent his whole life looking for.

    A New York Times Bestseller 
     
    Two hundred years ago, an island disappeared. Benny has just two weeks to find it. 
     
    Everly "Benny" Benedict and her mom have always managed to get by, though they're broke most of the time. But all that could change. Benny's just learned she's the sole heir to the vast fortune of Evelyn Terry, a mysterious ancestor from the 1800s! 
     
    There's a catch, though. First Benny needs to play―and win―a game: following clues that are more than a century old, she must find her way to the tiny island Evelyn wrote about in her diary. It was somewhere off the shoreline of Evelyn's home town, but according to legend, it vanished long ago and hasn't appeared on maps for hundreds of years. Yet Benny has only a couple weeks to locate it. 
     
    If she's successful, she'll collect the inheritance. But what if there's more than a fortune at stake in this game? What if Benny has to break an ancient curse to win?

    Vaccines have been used to safely introduce people's bodies to diseases for centuries, and they save millions of lives each year. By giving people a weakened or dead version of a disease, a vaccine allows the body to develop antibodies which recognize and fight the disease later on.
    
    Early vaccinations used dry scabs from smallpox to promote smallpox immunity. Doctors and scientists across nations took and improved the method, developing vaccines for health crises from whooping cough to polio to COVID-19. This graphic history features famous cases and current challenges, including the time frame for creating a new vaccine.
