Garden of Goals

Nicole Ashton

Sinopse

In the Garden of Goals, eight-year-old Piera transforms a forgotten plot behind the old mill into a living roadmap for her dreams. Each raised bed section—Treehouse, Art, and Share—is seeded with plants linked to her token-based goals. Through yield estimation, frost setbacks, pest patrols, and community collaborations, Piera learns planning, risk management, and the joy of giving. As her tomatoes, berries, and green beans flourish, tokens fill jars that pay for paints, a soaring treehouse, and fresh produce donations. This vibrant tale sows lessons in ambition, resourcefulness, and generosity, nurturing young readers’ own growth and goal-setting spirit.

Some Like It Cold - Judgment...

Dave Dryfoos

In a universe where stars glow in wavelengths no human eye could ever see, a curious young being sets out to test an idea everyone else has already dismissed. His journey takes him to a tiny, dense world orbiting a blinding sun, where life moves so quickly it is almost invisible to his kind. What he finds there challenges every certainty he has ever known about intelligence, progress, and responsibility.
As he studies this strange planet, events begin to unfold that seem to implicate him in a catastrophic transformation of its climate. Ice advances where warmth should reign, and the very proof he seeks becomes evidence against him. To clear his name and vindicate his father’s radical theory, he must decide whether truth is worth the ultimate personal cost.
What emerges is a sweeping, ironic tale about perception, pride, and the dangerous brilliance of thinking beings. Vast cosmic perspectives collide with the fragile struggles of a small, inventive species racing against its own fears. The story builds toward a courtroom reckoning that asks a deceptively simple question: if intelligent creatures knowingly endanger themselves, can anyone else be blamed?
Dave Dryfoos crafts a clever and darkly humorous science fiction fable that plays with scale, time, and point of view. Through the eyes of outsiders, our familiar world becomes alien, bewildering, and deeply revealing. Some Like It Cold is both a cosmic mystery and a sharp meditation on technology, denial, and unintended consequences.
Dave Dryfoos was a versatile science fiction writer known for imaginative premises and sly satirical touches. In this story, he blends grand astrophysical ideas with intimate moral stakes, creating a narrative that feels both playfully inventive and uncomfortably relevant.
