In a world where fiction is a crime, young Georgie Summers must write a story to save everyone he loves ...

​When twelve-year-old Georgie Summers isn't cooking dinner for his sick dad or trying to survive middle school bullies, you'll find him in his backyard, slingshot in hand, nailing soda cans from 200 feet out ... probably the only sixth grader who could pull off a shot like that.

Sure, life for Georgie was a little lonely, but at least it made sense.

That is, until a terrifying man--a man dressed in shiny black boots and bugs crawling out of a hole in his neck--climbs through a portal in midair and kidnaps Georgie's father. Where did this man come from? Why was he looking for an ancient fountain pen? What secrets has Georgie's father been keeping from him?

Completely alone and not to mention scared out of his wits, Georgie quickly teams up with two unlikely allies: Apurva Aluwhalia, an aspiring astronomer and just about the prettiest girl in school (in all of New York as far as Georgie is concerned), and Roscoe Harris, a self-proclaimed YouTube sensation with a whopping fourteen bored subscribers. But hey, big dreams, right?

Together, they stumble into Scatterplot, a hidden realm where mysterious Scribes record the memories of everyone on Earth. Without the Scribes, people would forget everything ... they'd lose their minds. Literally.

As the adventure grows increasingly dangerous, Georgie uncovers the evil Flint Eldritch's plan to destroy those very memories, erasing everyone Georgie has ever loved.

Armed with nothing but courage, friendship, and a magical but extremely dangerous pen, Georgie must race against time to save not just his dad ... but the minds of everyone on Earth.

... including yours.

In this exhilarating middle-grade debut, perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and Harry Potter, author Isaac Rudansky spins a heart-pounding adventure of courage, hope, and the power of friendship to lift you from the depths of loneliness and despair.

You'll be on the edge of your seat ... just hope you'll be able to remember it all when it's over.

Women, there is a more beautiful way to live. That begins when you meet your inner Muse.

For too long, womanhood has been defined by patriarchal structures that keep us women small, quiet, and at war with our bodies. It's time for a radical return to true, self-led womanhood.

In Muse: The Magnetism of Women Who Stop Abandoning Themselves, Dr. Amanda Hanson examines the history and current systems that put women in the position of living their lives based on their worth to men. She then guides us through exquisite rituals and practices to reclaim our womanhood and build our most beautiful lives.

Weaving together research, personal stories, and insights from Dr. Hanson's decades of helping women through her unique method that combines clinical psychology and ancient holistic practices, Muse gives us the power, built on matriarchal consciousness, to reconstruct our lives.

When it feels like there is something missing in life, it's time to dig deep.

You may be at a point in your life where you feel accomplished, but underneath it all, something is missing. Maybe you don't feel fulfilled. Maybe you're just going through the motions. Or maybe you are unsettled and in search of some wisdom, some meaning, and ultimately, some joy.

In This Is the Thing, intention enthusiast Shane Jackson takes a deep dive into the answers that elude us to get at the heart of both why and how we can find purpose and experience joy. He delivers insights into every corner of our lives--from relationships to the choices we make to how we spend our time. Chapter by chapter, he offers experience, intuition, perspective, and reflection on specific slices of life, leaving the reader with gems that illuminate an actionable path to fulfillment.

Christian Sheppard's The Ancient Wisdom of Baseball is a love letter to baseball that explains its connections to our inner lives and to classical lore in a way that makes one pine for Opening Day. --THEO EPSTEIN

Who are you, how are you supposed to live, and what about happiness? Answers to age-old questions are offered in classic myths about heroes, gods, and monsters, and at the ballgame.

Along the way, Sheppard humorously recollects trying to raise his baby daughter true to the teachings of ancient myth and his beloved game. The result is an endearing, insightful, and inspiring guide to cultivating virtue and becoming the hero of your own life's odyssey.

​Author Emily Cherkin--aka The Screentime Consultant--has written a compelling and necessary book about parenting in the modern digital age. Unlike any previous generation, children's excessive screen use today at home and at school impacts mental health and family relationships. Parents have concerns about the amount of time children spend on devices and want to do better. They're just not sure what to do or where to start.
In The Screentime Solution, Emily teaches parents to become tech-intentional using screen-based technologies to enhance, nurture, and align with family values while avoiding, delaying, or limiting screentime that interferes with healthy mental, physical, cognitive, and emotional development.
With humor, empathy, and experience, Emily invites parents to
- become tech-intentional, without feeling judged, shamed, or blamed;
- implement her research-supported, developmentally appropriate tools to find screentime balance; and
- build a movement around tech-intentionality (this is good for everyone--children and adults alike).
The Screentime Solution will remain useful even as technology changes because being tech-intentional is an approach that can--and should--remain a constant.

​Set against the backdrop of New York City's vibrant Greenwich Village in 1978, TheSummerBetween is the bittersweet, unsparingly honest coming-of-age saga of Andrew Jackson Pollock. Three days before high school graduation, Andy, a New Jersey teen who longs to break free of his suburban closet, confides in Elena Plesko, his ex-girlfriend, something he has suspected for a long time--that he's gay. Abandoned as a child by his father, Andy begins to trade his unconventional family of women for the hopes of finding love in the newly liberated culture emerging in Greenwich Village. One night, a tragically misguided encounter leads him to Ben Hoppe, a savvy peer who becomes Andy's protector as he navigates the meaningful romances, the brief encounters, and the enduring friendships that shape one's character. Andy's story brilliantly relates the confining emotions, confusion, panic, heartache, and joy of a young person's coming to terms with their sexuality and defining their identity.

Investors who ignore the past are lost in the present and blind to the future.

Most people rely only on their life experience to make investment decisions. This causes them to overlook cyclical forces that repeatedly reshape economies and markets. Investing in U.S. Financial History fills this void by recounting the comprehensive financial history of the United States of America. It begins with Alexander Hamilton's financial programs in 1790 and ends with the Federal Reserve's battle with inflation in 2023.

Authored by Mark Higgins, an experienced investment advisor and financial historian, this book will help you:

- Understand key drivers of financial crises and the principles for managing them.

- Recognize warning signs of speculative manias that lead to asset bubbles.

- Understand why few investors outperform market indices and why index funds are preferable for most individuals and institutions.

- Identify the major threats to U.S. economic prosperity in the twenty-first century.

Investing in U.S. Financial History reveals that there is almost no financial event that is unprecedented. By understanding the fundamental drivers underpinning key economic events, you will internalize investment principles, avoid common pitfalls, and resist the temptation to panic amid market volatility.

We all want to raise independent, confident children, but unfortunately, there's no one right way to parent that we can all learn. Each child is unique, and each mom and dad has their own ideas on parenting, often influenced by the way they were raised. The Imperfect Parent shows us how we can celebrate those differences, embracing the individuality of our kids, carrying on the successful practices our parents demonstrated, and learning from their--and our--mistakes.

A mom of two boys, author Kate Hamilton is no stranger to parenting struggles, and she knows well that anyone who thinks they can parent error-free is just kidding themselves. This book is an honest look at her parenting triumphs and failures and what parents everywhere can learn from both. She explains:

- How to handle parenting advice from others
- How to communicate well with your partner or co-parent
- How to help your children discover their identities
- How to have conversations with your kids about uncomfortable topics
- How to let your children fail

And that just scratches the surface! Recognizing that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to raising kids, The Imperfect Parent teaches you how to forge a path that works best for your family.

Join humanity's mad blast toward Mars in this rollicking near-future satire

You'd like to be the first man on Mars, the next Neil Armstrong, wouldn't you?

Astronaut Addy Johnson and his wife, Bria, beat the odds (and dodge a publicity scandal) to be on NASA's first crewed mission to Mars, along with another astronaut couple. The foursome are best friends and chart-topping bandmates in the runup to their mission, supporting each other as they grapple with personal conflicts and the rigors of training in Antarctica.

After the Boeing Deepthrust rocket launches the astronauts toward the stars, tensions run high when Addy, misjudging the impact of defying Mission Control--and the wishes of Bria and the other crew members--ponders a risky gambit to outrace their Chinese competition to the Red Planet. Facing a challenge that could end their deep space voyage, they experiment with the peculiar cargo someone smuggled onboard.

This big-hearted satire by first-time novelist Richmond Scott is a scintillating read for sci-fi fans. Addy and his crew share their adventure with a vibrant ensemble of characters including amorous robots and reality TV stars. Set in a not-too-distant future overrun by corporate sponsorships and a collective obsession with celebrity, Tripping Toward Mars takes you on a dazzling, high-spirited ride.
