Book excerpt: Chloé Rodriguez values three things above all else—her family; her best friend, Rock; and Lolita, her Harley-Davidson 1200 Sportster. With a black body, blue airbrushed flames, and perfect sloping ape hangers, Lolita is Chloé's last connection to her beloved uncle, Seth, who left her the bike when he died last summer. So when a failing chemistry grade threatens to separate Chloé from her motorcycle, she vows not to let that happen . . . no matter what. Enter Gordon. Ridiculously organized, übersmart, and hot in a casual, doesn't-know-it kind of way, Chloé's peer tutor may have a thing or two to teach her besides chemistry. But she has to stop falling for Gordon . . . and get Rock to act mature whenever he's around . . . and pass chemistry so she doesn't lose Lolita forever. Just when Chloé thinks she's got it all figured out, a bump in the road comes out of nowhere and sends her skidding.

Book excerpt: ”A young boy goes on a journey through the solar system searching for the spirit of his sister, discovers the basics of science and spirituality with the help of a mystic teacher and a super-powered cat....[with an] element of the classic YA SF novel, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle....Fasten your seatbelt!” - Chanticleer Book Reviews Love and Death have a story to tell. In the Missouri-Kansas border of 1962, Teddy's older sister died on a family outing. Eleven-year-old Teddy DeXue misses his late sister with all his heart. Teddy’s dreams begin to show him otherworldly Moonlight, which lights a shadowed path to reunite him with his sister. Wanting desperately to believe, Teddy begins to find allies to guide him. He has a vision of a legendary ancient Chinese man, Fu Hsi, who encourages him to believe there is more to death than death itself. Suddenly, things align when Teddy's best friend, Tem, shows him ancient Egyptian crystals that flash strange lights of blues, greens, and reds. The boys believe the crystals may hold powers to the mysteries of life. Fu Hsi teaches the boys, through dreams, the way of the ancients; how life transforms under the powers of the crystals. With a lunar-powered car, a supernatural cat, and his childhood pal in tow, Teddy is confronted with the science and spirituality of light. They have to decide if they should test Fu Hsi's wisdom. But whatever they decide, that Moonlight beckons Teddy to find Jean. If he can make his way through the cosmos and unlock the crystals’ remarkable energies, he might just hold his sister one last time. Will Teddy finally find the answers he seeks, or will he return to Earth heartbroken? Fans of Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya, We Are the Ants by Shaun David Hutchinson, and When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore will enjoy Teddy’s dazzling metaphysical journey to find his beloved sister before she’s lost to him forever. “This book gave me major Bridge to Terabithia vibes.” - Renee, Goodreads

Book excerpt: An astrophysicist presents an in-depth yet accessible tour of the universe for lay readers, while conveying the excitement of astronomy.How is a galaxy billions of lightyears away connected to us? Is our home nothing more than a tiny speck of blue in an ocean of night? In this exciting tour of a universe far larger than we can imagine, cosmologist Paul M. Sutter emphasizes how amazing it is that we are part of such a huge, complex, and mysterious place. Through metaphors and uncomplicated language, Sutter breathes life into the science of astrophysics, unveiling how particles, forces, and fields interplay to create the greatest of cosmic dramas. Touched with the author's characteristic breezy, conversational style--which has made him a breakout hit on venues such as The Weather Channel, the Science Channel, and his own popular Ask a Spaceman! podcast--he conveys the fun and wonder of delving deeply into the physical processes of the natural universe. He weaves together the past and future histories of our universe with grounded descriptions of essential modern-day physics as well as speculations based on the latest research in cosmology. Topics include our place in the Milky Way galaxy; the cosmic web--a vast web-like pattern in which galaxies are arranged; the origins of our universe in the big bang; the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy; how science has dramatically changed our relationship to the cosmos; conjectures about the future of reality as we know it; and more.For anyone who has ever stared at the starry night sky and wondered how we humans on Earth fit into the big picture, this book is an essential roadmap.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy meets Black Beauty and gallops off into The Matrix in the debut novel from cult internet sensation Cyriak Harris Life was simple for Buttercup the horse. Chewing grass in a field, gazing dreamily at passing clouds or standing at a hedge to watch the world go by. Perhaps a light nap followed by a gentle canter and more grazing, and then off to the stable for a programme of psychological tests designed to expand the boundaries of horse consciousness. For Betty and Tim, life was also simple. Or at least as simple as life could be when you are scientists conducting neurological experiments on a horse. That is until the day they discovered their horse was conducting an experiment of its own. Life became rather more complicated after that for Tim, Betty and Buttercup, and the ensuing struggle for control over one horse's destiny results in an intellectual arms race that takes all three of them to the edge of reality and beyond. It is a struggle that threatens to shake the foundations of civilisation and unravel the fabric of time and space. Can anyone stop this horse from destroying the universe?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kids learn the importance of connecting with others, with nature, and with themselves in this journey from the minuscule to the massive. Bringing together the worlds of social and emotional learning (SEL) and STEM, this calming and colorful picture book illustrates how we are all connected. By taking the reader on a journey from the minuscule (cells, the building blocks of nature) to the massive (a universe that is infinite), Me and You and the Universe teaches children about the importance of connecting with others, with nature, and with themselves. The message of universality and connectedness helps foster an appreciation for nature and our world’s ecology. Author and illustrator Bernardo Marçolla beautifully articulates the value of learning at an early age to look up to the sky and, as we see the stars, to know that we are part of them. The world will remain the same, but if we open our eyes and our hearts, our experience will be completely different. “Although we seem different from each other, all of us, deep down inside, are very similar.” Also available by Bernardo Marçolla: All You Can Imagine, a book about the power of imagination “This is the kind of book that opens your heart a little wider to help you love just a little bit more. Share it with every kid you know.”—Jill Twiss, author of A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo and senior writer at Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
