  Vaccines have been used to safely introduce people's bodies to diseases for centuries, and they save millions of lives each year. By giving people a weakened or dead version of a disease, a vaccine allows the body to develop antibodies which recognize and fight the disease later on.
  
  Early vaccinations used dry scabs from smallpox to promote smallpox immunity. Doctors and scientists across nations took and improved the method, developing vaccines for health crises from whooping cough to polio to COVID-19. This graphic history features famous cases and current challenges, including the time frame for creating a new vaccine.

  Oliver has a lot going on starting his first year of middle school: new friends, new classes, new everything. But at least there’s one thing that still makes sense: SCIENCE! Determined to be an astrophysicist one day, Oliver explains everything he learns—like how the sun burps, how ghost particles fly through you, and the uncanny similarities between Mercury and cafeteria meatballs. (Also, there are time-bending black holes, exploding supernova stars, and aliens! Well, there could be aliens.) 
   
  Oliver finally feels like he’s starting to figure things out … but can he stay out of the principal’s office, or catch a break from his annoying sister? With laugh-outloud humor, Oliver’s Great Big Universe follows an eleven-year-old who’s taking on the whole universe—if he can survive middle school first.

  Rin Yamada, a struggling writer, wakes up to find himself trapped inside his own failed novel—The Emperor’s False Consort. But instead of arriving as the protagonist, he’s been reincarnated as Prince Kael Varenth, the story’s doomed anti-hero who is sentenced to death for treason.
  In his own writing, Kael dies at the hands of Emperor Aldric Varenth, his former lover, now turned ruthless ruler. But faced with execution, Rin refuses to accept his fate. Using his knowledge of the plot, he fights to change his destiny and uncover the true traitor behind the empire’s downfall—Duke Reynard Hale.
  However, rewriting fate won’t be easy. The court is a nest of vipers, Aldric is colder and more dangerous than Rin imagined, and his own survival may depend on rekindling the emperor’s lost love—without losing himself in the process.
  As enemies close in and betrayal lurks in every corner, Rin must play the most dangerous game of all:
  Win the emperor’s trust—or die trying.
