  The Thought-Men of Mercury -...

  Mercury is no place for men. A narrow twilight strip separates blazing heat from endless night, and within that thin band of survival two explorers discover something no expedition ever reported—intelligent life that can reach directly into the human mind. 
  Terry Hall senses the presence first: a cold intrusion in his thoughts, as if unseen fingers are searching through his memories. When the Mercurians reveal themselves, their strange civilization seems harmless enough—telepathic thinkers who can instantly understand any idea but lack the physical ability to build even the simplest tools. Yet the more the visitors teach them, the more dangerous the situation becomes. These creatures are studying something far more valuable than machinery. They are studying fear. 
  To the Mercurians, fear is the missing force that shaped human civilization. It drove humans to store food, build weapons, and conquer hostile worlds. Once they understand that lesson, the Earthmen realize the terrible implication. A species with unmatched intellect—and no physical skill—has just discovered a reason to enslave the only creatures capable of building the future they now desire. 
  Escape will require more than strength and more than courage. Their captors can read every plan before it happens. 
  Russ Winterbotham’s “The Thought-Men of Mercury” blends planetary adventure with one of classic science fiction’s most unsettling ideas: what happens when a civilization that can read minds begins studying the emotion that drives human progress. 
  Russ Winterbotham (1904–1971) was an American science fiction writer and editor whose work appeared regularly in magazines such as Amazing Stories, Planet Stories, and Thrilling Wonder Stories. He published dozens of short stories from the 1930s through the 1950s.

  For fans of Duncan Tonatiuh and Yuyi Morales' Dreamers, a one-of-a-kind book about one immigrant family's journey north, in the vein of an ancient codex and drawing upon Mesoamerican mythology. 
    
  We, the Vargas Ramírez family, come from a faraway place north of Tenochtitlan called Iztapalapa, Land of Clay Upon Water. A land surrounded by cars and dry grass; a place where the pieces of our small world were scattered. For some time we lived there, but then one day my father heard a beautiful birdsong that rose up and appeared to say tihui, tihui, tihui: let’s go, let’s go, let’s go. And so we gathered up our friends who made up that small world and decided to head north, for the other side, and a better life.  
    
  Together the Boy and his family will journey from the Land of the Frogs to The Place Where Feet Cry to the River Where the Waters Tangle, fleeing Gunmen and braving Coyotes and plunging darknesses as black as an obsidian forest. Originally published in Mexico, Pilgrim Codex (Códice peregrino) captures through the eyes of a child one family's part in the ever-changing and fleeting story of the brave migrant warriors who search for a better place to live. 
    
  ★ "Together, word and image work richly together to describe a suspenseful journey of 'many things, terrible and magnificent.'"—Publishers Weekly (starred)
