  A unique middle-grade novel, The Edge of Everywhen tells the story of Piper, a 13-year-old self-proclaimed book nerd whose world has been upended after the death of her mother. She and her autistic little brother (and best friend) Phoenix cling to one another as they are forced to move 1,000 miles away from everything familiar and live with their rich, estranged aunt. Piper reaches to the books on her shelf for comfort, but it is one unique book, Novus Fabula, that offers true guidance as the omniscient narrator in the story. It watches them arrive at their aunt’s home, with tired hearts and stones in their stomachs, and now its whispered voice must point the children to depend upon the sovereignty of God during the most dire times as they await word of their missing father.

  The Monsters Came by Night -...

  Robert Silverberg

  First published in Super-Science Fiction magazine in October 1959, “The Monsters Came by Night” blends psychological unease with otherworldly menace in a way that only the mid-century masters of science fiction could. It begins with a quiet, almost domestic mystery before unfolding into a haunting story of alien intrusion and human fear. What starts as an ordinary evening soon becomes a terrifying exploration of what happens when reality is invaded by something far beyond human understanding. Every page reflects that eerie tension between the known and the unimaginable — the hallmark of 1950s speculative storytelling. 
  Robert Silverberg wrote this tale early in his career, but even then his talent for atmosphere and pacing was unmistakable. His prose moves with precision — deliberate, sharp, and deeply human — revealing how isolation and imagination can twist into horror. Beneath the surface of monsters and nightmares lies something much more intimate: the fear of being watched, misunderstood, or overtaken by forces we cannot control. 
  Born in Brooklyn in 1935, Robert Silverberg became one of the most prolific and respected authors in modern science fiction. Over a career spanning more than seven decades, he has written hundreds of short stories and novels, earning multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards. Silverberg’s work evolved from fast-paced pulp adventures to deeply philosophical explorations of identity, time, and transformation. Notable works like Nightwings, Dying Inside, and The Book of Skulls showcase his range and his ability to blend emotional depth with speculative brilliance. 
  Beyond his fiction, Silverberg has been a scholar and editor, shaping how later generations would view the Golden Age of science fiction.

  Walter Dean Myers's Cruisers series keeps going strong! The Cruisers are in trouble -- again. The freedom of expression they've enjoyed by publishing their own school newspaper, THE CRUISER, has spread all the way to England, where kids from a school "across the pond" are now contributors to their own school's most talked-about publication. When photos start to go alongside the articles written by kids, things get suspicious. Zander, Kambui, LaShonda, Bobbi -- and a bunch of students from Harlem's DaVinci Academy and London's Phoenix School -- come to learn that words and pictures in a newspaper don't always tell the whole story. With his signature on-point pacing and whip-smart characters, award-winning author Walter Dean Myers delivers another awesome book about the Cruisers, a group of middle-school misfits who are becoming the coolest kids in the city.
