  Under the enchanted canopy of Eldergrove, where ancient trees murmur secrets in the language of leaves and wild spirits dance on moonbeams, druid Thorne seals an eternal pact with Sylva, the forest's untamed spirit manifested as a ethereal nymph with bark-veined skin. Exiled from his order for embracing the wild's chaos, Thorne's covenant with Sylva unleashes a verdant renaissance—or a rampant overgrowth that could entomb civilizations. As they wander root-woven paths and glade-shrouded hollows, stalked by poacher shamans and corrupted treants, their pact's magic entwines druidic runes with sylvan whispers, revealing a primordial forest prophecy of balance. When a logging baron's enchanted axes threaten the canopy's heart, Thorne and Sylva must summon the wild's fury to defend their bond. In the depths of ancient woods, where every root binds fate and every moonbeam illuminates desire, their eternal love becomes the pact that nurtures the forest's undying soul.

  From the author of A Good Kind of Trouble, a Walter Dean Myers Honor Book, comes another unforgettable story about finding your voice—and finding your people. Perfect for fans of Sharon Draper, Meg Medina, and Jason Reynolds.  
  Eleven-year-old Jenae doesn’t have any friends—and she’s just fine with that. She’s so good at being invisible in school, it’s almost like she has a superpower, like her idol, Astrid Dane. At home, Jenae has plenty of company, like her no-nonsense mama; her older brother, Malcolm, who is home from college after a basketball injury; and her beloved grandpa, Gee.  
  Then a new student shows up at school—a boy named Aubrey with fiery red hair and a smile that won’t quit. Jenae can’t figure out why he keeps popping up everywhere she goes. The more she tries to push him away, the more he seems determined to be her friend. Despite herself, Jenae starts getting used to having him around.  
  But when the two are paired up for a class debate about the proposed name change for their school, Jenae knows this new friendship has an expiration date. Aubrey is desperate to win and earn a coveted spot on the debate team. 
  There’s just one problem: Jenae would do almost anything to avoid speaking up in front of an audience—including risking the first real friendship she’s ever had.

  Time For Survival by George O. Smith 
  The storm ruined my plan. 
  Not by seasickness. I'd come prepared for the worst, knowing how rough it could get on a sailing ship of the Nineteenth Century. I outrode the storm easily, stowed away in the hold. Not even the breakage of some of the 1700 barrels of alcohol carried as a cargo bothered me although the stench was terrific. 
  But on the morning of 25 November 1872, the first mate, Albert Richardson sent the second mate, Andrew Gilling below with two of the German seamen to assay the storm damage. They found me and I was hauled aloft before Captain Briggs as a stowaway. 
  Captain Briggs of the Mary Celeste eyed my strange clothing with deep curiosity, but his interest was obviously more concerned with my unauthorized presence. He said sternly, "When did you get aboard?" 
  I realized that I had to impress him. I smiled. "You delayed your sailing from the Fifth November to the Sixth so that you and Mrs. Briggs could have dinner aboard Die Gratia with Captain Morehouse," I said. 
  "How can you know so much?" he exclaimed. "How can you live as a stowaway for almost twenty days?" 
  I held up my chronithon contactor, knowing that now I could impress him indeed. "Captain Briggs," I said, "I am a time-travelling historian from the Twenty-Second Century." I pointed to the big red button on the top. "Until I depress this button and return to my own day and age, every morning I receive my daily ration of food and water. It's about—" 
  I'd timed it close. I was interrupted by the click of the chronithon as it time-transferred my daily ration. I opened the cabinet and offered a bite of twenty-second century breakfast to the captain.
