  The Genius of Lancelot Biggs by Nelson S. Bond is one of the most beloved entries in the Lancelot Biggs series—a blend of clever humor, scientific imagination, and classic spacefaring adventure. Biggs is the quintessential “reluctant genius,” a bumbling yet brilliant space engineer whose accidental brilliance repeatedly saves his shipmates aboard the Saturnian Queen. In The Genius of Lancelot Biggs, Bond captures the charm of golden-age science fiction with a comedic twist: Biggs invents improbable solutions to cosmic disasters while maintaining a disarming humility that makes him both heroic and human. 
  The Lancelot Biggs stories first appeared in Amazing Stories and Fantastic Adventures throughout the 1930s and 1940s, later collected in Lancelot Biggs: Spaceman (1950). The series stood out for mixing slapstick wit and genuine scientific curiosity at a time when pulp sci-fi often leaned heavily on melodrama. Biggs was Bond’s most famous creation—a character whose inventive blunders and bursts of genius inspired later comic sci-fi heroes like Douglas Adams’s Arthur Dent. 
  Nelson S. Bond (1908–2006) was an American author, playwright, and literary agent whose fiction bridged pulp science fiction, fantasy, and adventure. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Bond became a prolific contributor to magazines like Blue Book, Amazing Stories, and Astounding Science Fiction. His work often featured strong characterizations and humor, qualities that distinguished him from many of his contemporaries. Beyond Lancelot Biggs, Bond wrote the Meg the Priestess fantasy series and numerous tales of human resilience and irony. Later in life, he turned to radio, television, and theater, earning accolades for his versatility.

  In book two of the series, Book of Bad Bargains, Jazz tries to convince her older brother to trade his beloved blue marble with increasingly peculiar bargains. Readers - quite possibly even adult readers - are introduced to a curious range of trinkets.  
  Spattered with irreverence and touched with ingenuity, this illustrated series featuring Jazz and her older brother has the feel of an instant classic. Gratefully, Laura Teste, in her author-illustrator debut, has included tongue-in-cheek nods to the lucky adults in the room. For the inquisitive-can’t-sit-still children, her series is sure to capture their attention and whet their appetite for more. 
  As a 'girl dad,' I was particularly happy to see that the wheeling, dealing little firecracker of a science prodigy is female. Overall, this is a tightly written and exceptionally well-crafted story. Very highly recommended. – Five Star Review by Readers’ Favorite

  For the first time ever, Willow Moss is going to school. 
  Magical children have long been barred from attending school. And the sudden reversal of the rule by the mysterious (and nefarious) Brothers of Wol seems too good to be true. Why would they decide to change it now? 
  Willow, though hesitant, embarks on this new path with her usual courage and determination. On her first day, she meets new friends Twist and Peg, who will soon become her next partners-in-adventure. 
  Because Willow is about to be tasked with her most urgent mission yet: to protect the children of Starfell, uncover the mystery of a long-lost kingdom—and prevent the very source of all magic from falling into the wrong hands.
