  Twain began his career writing light, humorous verse, but he became a chronicler of the vanities, hypocrisies, and murderous acts of mankind. At mid-career, he combined rich humor, sturdy narrative, and social criticism in Huckleberry Finn. He was a master of rendering colloquial speech and helped to create and popularize a distinctive American literature built on American themes and language.                                                         
  A complete bibliography of Twain's works is nearly impossible to compile because of the vast number of pieces he wrote (often in obscure newspapers) and his use of several different pen names.

  Atomic Station

  Atomic Station by Frank Belknap Long - When the energy of Earth’s experimental station in space runs amuck, scientist Roger Sheldon puts up a big battle! 
  It was incredible and a little frightening. The rocket ship was within a half million miles of the Station, but as yet no reply had come to the frantic signals which Roger Sheldon had been sending out at ten second intervals. 
  He sat before the observation glass in the control room, a big man with the competent hands of an experienced navigator, and a curious mobility of expression which seemed out of keeping with the precise movements which those hands were making on the board. 
  His face was that of a man who had gazed on great unfathomable star fields smouldering in the depths of space and then—had deliberately curbed his exaltation and turned back to concern himself with the little affairs of Earth. 
  In three months and two days Roger Sheldon had passed completely beyond the Sun's gravitational tug into the utter darkness, the chill bleak immensity of interstellar space. To have accomplished more he would have bartered all the years of his youth. He had hardly dared hope to accomplish as much. 
  Now he was returning to the Station with his thoughts in a turmoil. His nerves were so taut he was afraid to relax even for the brief instant it would have taken him to shake a few grains of amytal into his palm and inhale the fumes. 
  For two generations the Station had encircled the Earth, an outpost of security bright with promise, the concrete embodiment of humanity's determination not to destroy itself. 
  While atomic research had remained in the uranium fission stage, the vast laboratory facilities of Earth had not endangered humanity. Even the first atomic bombs had not placed an intolerable strain on man's capacity to survive the hazards of working together toward a shared goal.

  I can’t sleep.  
  My name’s Aidan Grey. I’m a twelve—hold up—nearly thirteen-year-old student at P.O.E Academy, and I study the works of Edgar Allan Poe. My birthday is around the corner, but it’s hard to be excited with all this crushing anxiety. Anxiety over what, you ask? Well, it’s not because final exams are coming, and it’s definitely not because of the horrific incident at the Archives—although that, too, has me on edge. Something even more unnerving has been happening. Vivid, life-like nightmares haunt me. I wake up groggy and confused, detached from reality. I don’t know what to do or who to tell. My parents? My friends? The professor? Maybe I’ll just handle this on my own...  
  Don't miss POE Prophecies, book 5: Tamerlane.

  Willy discovers the freedom that comes from being true to himself. As he begins to paint from the heart ~ boldly, colorfully, and unapologetically; his wings transform into a beautiful reflection of his spirit. With each brushstroke, Willy lets go of the fear of not fitting in and embraces the joy of simply being who he is.

  This uplifting story gently encourages children to listen to their hearts, honor their feelings, and celebrate the special spark that makes them uniquely who they are. Through Willy’s journey, young readers learn that when they bravely share their true colors with the world, they not only feel free; they give others the courage to do the same. 
  Willy Paints the World His Way is a beautiful reminder that being yourself is more than enough, it is something to be proud of. Let this story inspire every child to dream big, express boldly, and always believe in the power of their own light. 
  “My purpose, and the intention behind my books, is to guide others from the very beginning to look within themselves and embrace their unique selves and authenticity. We need to become aware and reflect on our own inner child and heal ourselves in order to raise our next generation with love, free of our expectations and demands of society. When we do this, we break free from the chains of our own upbringing and societal programming allowing our children to become their authentic selves unapologetically, and we as parents find who we truly are among the process.” 
   ~Heather Vardon
