Paperback. Zustand: Good. With microchips implanted in their skulls at birth, the slaves of Cantral and Cillineese have labored under the tyrannical rule of the Nobles and their computers for decades. Monica, a Noble who avoided the implanting and escaped a death sentence at the age of four, is now sixteen. Having freed the slaves from Cillineese and Cantral, Monica embarks on an even more dangerous journey, across the ocean to the Eursian continent where a rogue noble has established a governing system of his own that was not affected by Cantral's downfall. In the meantime, the freed slaves of Cantral have taken the law into their own hands and are exacting revenge upon their former masters, including the very people who saved them. Monica and her friends Simon and Aric must escape the city and reach Eursia in time to stop the rogue noble's implementation of his system, which would enslave everyone in that part of the world. The fate of millions rides on Monica's shoulders. As the only chip-less person in the world, she must find her long-lost mother, destroy the Eursian computers, and free the slaves before Eursia suffers the fate of Cillineese--termination.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Change is inevitable. How we react to it is purely our choice. This collection of essays was mid-production when the phrase shelter-in-place became a common household conversation. As Fearless and Fabulous authors, the only choice was to keep moving forward and in doing so, inspire others to do the same Our power lies within and among. Much like a single butterfly, each of the sixteen contributing authors has decided at some point in their life to make the personal choice to break through whatever is holding them back, reach for the light, and create a life worth living. Each has found the courage to go for what they want and make the changes necessary--not just in order to survive, but to thrive. Each year, during Fall migration, Monarch butterflies join together for their northward journey. The strength of the group--also known as a kaleidoscope--serves to protect and support each other along the way. Similarly, the power of the collective shines forth in the stories shared between the covers of this book. United in collaboration, these authors share their wisdom as their gift to you on your personal journey. Please accept our invitation to join our kaleidoscope as we fearlessly navigate, hand-in-hand, towards a fabulous new earth What do you want, Butterfly? Let's go do that.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Lydia Davis has been called "one of the quiet giants in the world of American fiction" (Los Angeles Times), "an American virtuoso of the short story form" (Salon), an innovator who attempts "to remake the model of the modern short story" (The New York Times Book Review). Her admirers include Grace Paley, Jonathan Franzen, and Zadie Smith; as Time magazine observed, her stories are "moving . . . and somehow inevitable, as if she has written what we were all on the verge of thinking." In Varieties of Disturbance, her fourth collection, Davis extends her reach as never before in stories that take every form from sociological studies to concise poems. Her subjects include the five senses, fourth-graders, good taste, and tropical storms. She offers a reinterpretation of insomnia and re-creates the ordeals of Kafka in the kitchen. She questions the lengths to which one should go to save the life of a caterpillar, proposes a clear account of the sexual act, rides the bus, probes the limits of marital fidelity, and unlocks the secret to a long and happy life. No two of these fictions are alike. And yet in each, Davis rearranges our view of the world by looking beyond our preconceptions to a bizarre truth, a source of delight and surprise. Varieties of Disturbance is a 2007 National Book Award Finalist for Fiction. …
