Snowflake Bentley

In Vermont, snow and dirt are equally frequent. Who would want to take pictures of it? Wilson Bentley, however, has always regarded the frosty crystals as little wonders and has made the decision that one day his camera will document their incredible beauty for others.

Wilson Bentley, who was frequently misinterpreted in his day, captured images that even now demonstrate two crucial facts about snowflakes: first, that no two are similar, and second, that each one is shockingly beautiful. Children gain insight into a man who not only possessed the vision and tenacity of a scientist, but also an evident affection for the beauties of nature via Jacqueline Briggs Martin's elegant telling of his biography and Mary Azarian's beautiful woodcut illustrations.

George's Secret Key to the Universe

Stephen Hawking, author of the multi-million copy bestselling A Brief History of Time, and his daughter Lucy explain the universe to readers of all ages. George's parents, who have always been wary of technology, warn him about their new neighbors: Eric is a scientist and his daughter, Annie, seems to be following in his footsteps. But when George befriends them and Cosmos, their super-computer, he finds himself on a wildly fun adventure, while learning about physics, time, and the universe. He is able to visit other worlds and a black hole with the aid of Cosmos. But what if the incorrect individuals obtained control of Cosmos? The result is a humorous journey that succinctly illustrates the complexities of science because George, Annie, and Eric aren't about to find out. There are eight 4-page full-color inserts with scientific images in addition to Garry Parsons' animated graphics, which bring fun, intrigue, and clarity.

The Diary of a Young Girl

The astonishing diary of Anne Frank, which was found in the attic where she spent her final years, has become a classic, serving as a chilling reminder of the atrocities of war and a moving monument to the resilience of the human spirit.

A thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family abandoned their Amsterdam home and went into hiding in 1942, when the Nazis had taken control of Holland. The Franks and another family stayed sequestered in the "Secret Annexe" of an old office building for the following two years, up until their location were revealed to the Gestapo. Because they were cut off from the outside world, they had to deal with hunger, boredom, the continual hardships of living in a small space, and the constant danger of being found and put to death. Anne Frank vividly described her experiences at this time in her journal. Her tale offers an intriguing reflection on human bravery and vulnerability as well as a captivating self-portrait of a sensitive and passionate young lady whose promise was sadly cut short. It is at times intelligent, touching, and shockingly amusing.
