  In the secluded countryside stands an old, mysterious house called Meadowbone, which had been abandoned for years. This eerie, yet captivating residence becomes a new home for Rose Meadowbone and her four children—Jack, Jane, Billy, and Sam—who arrive with a haunting fear in their eyes, hinting at a dark past they are trying to escape. 
  Little Sam, worried about the threats from their past, asks his mother if "he" will come after them. Rose reassures him with a gentle, yet firm promise that they are safe here and will find happiness in their new home. Seeking a semblance of normalcy, the family ventures into the nearby village, where they meet Ellie, a kind and spirited local girl who quickly befriends them. Ellie introduces them to the village and takes them on delightful trips to the beach, bringing brief moments of joy and distraction from their worries. 
  However, their brief respite is shattered as Rose's health begins to deteriorate rapidly. On her deathbed, she calls her eldest son, Jack, and entrusts him with the responsibility of caring for his siblings. She imparts a dire secret: they must keep her death a secret until Jack turns 21, as the law requires a guardian of legal age. Jack, not yet 21, promises to uphold his mother’s wishes. In a solemn and private ceremony, the children bury Rose, vowing to stay together and protect one another. 
  Life seems to regain a semblance of normalcy until one fateful day when Jane is attacked in their home. A bullet shatters the window, narrowly missing her. The family is thrown into chaos, their fears reignited. Jack's protective instincts kick in, but the assailant's identity remains a mystery. The incident leaves the siblings on edge, constantly looking over their shoulders.

  Dogs Like Us

  People often chose a dog that resembles themselves, consciously or unconsciously.  Even scientific experiments have proved it. For example, you rarely find a Hell's Angel with a bichon frisé, or a sweet little old lady with a bulldog. A gentle quiet academic wouldn't normally chose a boisterous border collie, nor would an energetic teenager chose a basset hound.
  
  Our beloved dogs are rather like our choice of car or the clothes we wear. The science writer David Robson says, 'The canine mini-me reveals a narcissistic tendency in us all.'
  
  In these humorous, colourful illustrations of doppelgänger dogs, artist John Holder has depicted a superb, visually entertaining collection of dogs and their owners in all their lookalike glory. A treat for dog owners everywhere.

  “Mind-expanding and hilarious! I got smarter reading this!”—Jeff Kinney, author of the international bestselling series Diary of a Wimpy Kid 
    
  Science meets Diary of a Wimpy Kid in this original middle-grade fiction series that blends science with narrative from bestselling author Jorge Cham, the Emmy Award–nominated creator of PBS’s Elinor Wonders Why 
    
  Oliver needs a new computer because nobody wants to play with him as every move and save takes way too long. To raise money, he has the brilliant idea to write another book and sell it at school. So, he picks a topic he thinks lots of kids will like—animals. But when he starts to think about it, he wonders where do animals come from, and that leads him to wonder where life comes from and how animals evolve. Subjects range from the origins of life (primordial soup and life in early Earth—mostly scum/bacteria) to small organisms and fish to dinosaurs, of course! Mass extinctions. Cats, dogs, horses and chickens. And oh yes, people! 
    
  Along with making his new book, Oliver’s also doing chores for neighbors to make money, including odd jobs for the old cat lady down the street, who, as it turns out, is a retired paleontologist. (Not just any paleontologist, but as it’s revealed later, a famous one.) As Oliver does chores for her, she fills him in on the history of life on earth. 
    
  Meanwhile, Oliver is doing great with his group of friends. But as they all get excited to help him with the book, this causes trouble, leading to a mild breakup of the group which all gets resolved at the end in typical Oliver-esque humorous fashion. 
    
  With laugh-out-loud humor from bestselling writer and the creator of PHD Comics Jorge Cham, Oliver’s Great Big Universe is a STEAM-themed, diary-style series following one kid who’s taking on the whole universe—if he can survive middle school first.
