  We can't tell you who we are.  Or where we live.  It's too risky, and we've got to be careful.  Really careful.  So we don't trust anyone.  Because if they find us...well, we just won't let them find us. The thing you should know is that everyone is in really big trouble.  Yeah.  Even you.__________________________________________________What would have happened if the Animorphs had never existed?  If Jake and the others had taken the long way home from the mall that night, instead of cutting through the abandoned construction site?  If they'd never met Elfangor.  Never rescued Ax.  Never heard of the Yeerks....Jake's finally weakened.  After one particularly grisly battle, the Drode hits him when he's down and offers the Animorphs' leader an escape from the terrifying pressure.  He'll take Jake back to the mall and reverse the decision that started the Animorphs.  It's an offer Jake's too tired to refuse.  Now there's no morphing, no missions, and no knowledge of anything out of the ordinary on Earth.  That is, until out-of-the-ordinary things start happening.  That's when Jake, Rachel, Tobias, Cassie, Marco, and Ax are forced to deal, not with what would have been, but what is their awful new reality.

  Mysteries of the Cosmos

  Spheroidal galaxies produce incredibly challenging questions regarding our modelling of the cosmos development process. Our problem is heightened because elliptical galaxies grew far away and long ago. As a result, the data that can reveal their arrangement is obscure. Nevertheless, there are mild relations between measured characteristics of the galaxies that comprise hidden aspects. One such relationship is the central plane of elliptical galaxies. This plane combines three measured amounts the size, the expanse and velocities of the stars, and the mass of all the stars in the galaxy. A plot of those three measures and three dimensions reveals that they rest on a two-dimensional plane, indicating they are connected. 
  Furthermore, how this came about is a puzzle. What is certain is that elliptical galaxies, as observed today, are very gently growing and evolving systems. Any association in their characteristics must have been marked at birth. Galaxies now are very gradually developing systems. These mounting relations must have been marked long ago when the galaxies constituted. The associations provide observational restrictions on how the stellar mass was compiled. We would sincerely like to differentiate our snapshots of the past inferred from the scaling relations with development models. However, unlike disc galaxies, we have no underlying hypothesis of spheroidal galaxy uncertainty and star configuration. Instead, there are phenomenological ideas that propose the notion that consolidations control the gas reservoir for creating stars. Consolidations without gas are called dry consolidations. A consolidation with gas is wet. A wet consolidation involves star development and leads to multiple alterations in morphology. Modelling consolidations tells us that dry or dryish significant consolidations indeed performed a vital role at a redshift of one or two in valuing for the morphological properties of huge ellipticals.

  From Caldecott Medalist Matthew Cordell comes a cozy, magical nighttime adventure, where a child discovers the mysterious, miniature world beyond his bedroom walls. Sent home from school earlier in the day with a fever, George awakens in the middle of the night to discover a cricket beckoning him on an adventure and soon finds himself shrunken down in size. He follows the insect guide through a crack in his bedroom wall, through the moonlit yard, and into the home of a family of mice at the base of an oak tree. There, in a tiny, cozy kitchen, George discovers the meaning of his quest: he must help the Mama mouse complete her special 102-bean soup for her sick young son. Delightfully sweet as it is fantastic, 102 seamlessly explores the values of curiosity, kindness, and generosity. The simple yet profound conclusion shares a clever wink with readers, encouraging them to believe the unbelievable.

  We are here at home now, watching the world through our windows. Outside we see the city we know, but not as we’ve seen it before. The once hustling and bustling streets are empty—well, almost empty. Around the city there are still some people out and about. These are the people keeping us safe, keeping us healthy, keeping our mail and our food delivered, keeping our grocery stores stocked, keeping the whole city going. Brian Floca speaks for us all in this stirring homage to all the essential workers who keep the essentials operating so the rest of us can do our part by sheltering in place during the COVID-19 pandemic.
