  Within the whispering grove of Reedhaven, where flute carvers etch melodies into bamboo and spirit walkers tread paths of ancient reeds, carver Lira bonds melodically with walker Kai, whose steps echo with the grove's forgotten songs. Their echoes, carved in reed vows and wind-kissed notes, play love—or silence the grove in reedless voids. As they wander flute-laced trails and spirit-veiled thickets, echoed by wind wardens and melody rivals, Lira's carving harmony merges with Kai's walking rhythm, revealing a bamboo legend of echoed tune. When a broken reed summons silence shades, they must carve the bond to resound the winds. In the echo of bamboo flutes, where every whisper tunes the heart and every step dances with melody, their melodic bond becomes the song that revives the whispering wood.

  The Perfect Woman by Robert Sheckley - Somebody once came up with a song title we have never forgotten: "For every man there is a woman, so why did I gel stuck with you?” Not that Mr. Morcheck felt that way about Myra. He not only believed she was absolutely perfect; you could get a punch in the nose for doubting it! And he was so right —for a while! 
  Mr. Morcheck awoke with a sour taste in his mouth and a laugh ringing in his ears. It was George Owen-Clark’s laugh, the last thing he remembered from the Triad-Morgan party. And what a party it had been! All Earth had been celebrating the turn of the century. The year Three Thousand! Peace and prosperity to all, and happy life... 
  “How happy is your life?” Owen-Clark had asked, grinning slyly, more than a little drunk. “I mean, how is life with your sweet wife?” That had been unpleasant. Everyone knew that Owen-Clark was a Primitivist, but what right had he to rub people’s noses in it? Just because he had married a Primitive Woman. . . . 
  “I love my wife,” Morcheck had said stoutly. “And she’s a hell of a lot nicer and more responsive than that bundle of neuroses you call your wife.” But of course, you can’t get under the thick hide of a Primitivist. Primitivists love the faults in their women as much as their virtues — more, perhaps.

  The Skull - The Price of Erasing...

  Philip K. Dick

  Conger is a hunter, a smuggler, and a convicted criminal with nothing left to lose—until a powerful council offers him a way out. His task is unprecedented: travel back in time and eliminate the founder of a movement that reshaped civilization, before the man ever speaks his first words. The only clue he’s given is a skull, two centuries old, carried with him as proof. 
  As Conger moves through a suspicious mid-twentieth-century town, tracking a man who does not yet know his own importance, the mission grows increasingly uncertain. Philip K. Dick layers time travel, social paranoia, and moral tension into a story that questions authority, sacrifice, and whether history can—or should—be changed. 
  Philip K. Dick is one of the most influential voices in classic science fiction, known for exploring identity, power, and distorted realities. His work frequently examines how individuals are shaped—and manipulated—by institutions that claim to act for the greater good. 
  Stories like The Skull showcase Dick’s early mastery of philosophical science fiction, where speculative concepts are inseparable from human consequence. His ideas continue to influence modern literature, film, and television decades after their publication.

  In this engrossing and inventive contemporary middle grade novel that's Where'd You Go, Bernadette with a #MeToo message, an eighth grader uses social media posts, passed notes, and other clues to find out why a formerly popular girl is now the pariah of her new school.  
  Anna Hunt may be the new girl at East Middle School, but she can already tell there’s something off about her eighth-grade class. Rachel Riley, who just last year was one of the most popular girls in school, has become a social outcast. But no one, including Rachel Riley herself, will tell Anna why. 
  As a die-hard podcast enthusiast, Anna knows there’s always more to a story than meets the eye. So she decides to put her fact-seeking skills to the test and create her own podcast around the question that won’t stop running through her head: What happened to Rachel Riley? 
  With the entire eighth grade working against her, Anna dives headfirst into the evidence. Clue after clue, the mystery widens, painting an even more complex story than Anna could have anticipated. But there’s one thing she’s certain of: If you’re going to ask a complicated question, you better be prepared for the fallout that may come with the answer.
