He’s bonded with a mysterious female who’s seemed to appear from out of nowhere… and has powers that defy all reason. But the angel has a reason to stay in Caldwell. In his new role overseeing the fates of all vampires, he’s influenced outcomes he shouldn’t have- so the Creator is calling him home. Lassiter, the fallen angel, is too good at the savior business.

He offers expert guidelines for interacting with VR and describes the profound ways this technology can be put to use―not to distance ourselves from reality, but to enrich our lives and influence us to treat others, the environment, and even ourselves better. In Experience on Demand, Jeremy Bailenson draws on two decades spent researching the psychological effects of VR and other mass media to help listeners understand this powerful new tool. But how does this new medium affect its users, and does it have a future beyond fantasy and escapism? With well-crafted simulations, these experiences, which are so immersive that the brain believes they’re real, are already widely available with a VR headset and will only become more accessible and commonplace. Virtual reality is able to effectively blur the line between reality and illusion, pushing the limits of our imagination and granting us access to any experience imaginable. An in-depth look at virtual reality and how it can be harnessed to improve our everyday lives The mysterious depths of human personality are as intriguing to French as are the mysterious deaths that often set her stories in motion. Since each novel is told from a different detective’s point of view, we loyal readers come to know the characters inside and out - both in the way they see themselves and in the (often jarring) way others see them. Her Dublin Murder Squad series (which began in 2007 with “In the Woods,” which won the Anthony, Edgar, Macavity and Barry awards) relies on the simple device of a recurring cast of police detectives, although that device isn’t so simple psychologically. French is such a gorgeous writer: She’s a poet of mood and a master builder of plots that are positively Piranesi-like in their ingeniousness. Whenever someone asks me to name today’s top suspense novelists, my short list always includes Tana French. Mouse, all inspired by the author's hope to create appealing books for boys and girls-and by the sight of her son playing with toy cars. This fun story is the first of a trilogy, along with Runaway Ralph and Ralph S. The Mouse and the Motorcycle is perfect for independent reading or for shared reading at home or in a classroom. This timeless classic now features a foreword written by New York Times bestselling author Kate DiCamillo, as well as an exclusive interview with Beverly Cleary herself. And, when everyone was asleep, he turned Ralph loose in the hotel halls to enjoy the biking adventure of his life. Actually it's plain clothes fantasy grounded in the everydayexcept for the original conceit of a mouse who can talk and ride a motorcycle. Not only did Keith save Ralphs life, but he taught him how to ride the bike. Beverly Cleary has written all kinds of books (the most successful ones about the irrepressible Henry Huggins) but this is her first fantasy. Whether dodging a rowdy terrier or keeping his nosy cousins away from his new wheels, Ralph has a lot going on And with a pal like Keith always looking out for him, there's nothing this little mouse can't handle. Along came Keith, the owner of the toy motorcycle, who was staying with his family in the hotel room where Ralph lived. But with all this freedom (and speed ) come a lot of obstacles. So when Keith leaves the bike unattended in his room one day, Ralph makes his move. When the ever-curious Ralph spots Keith's red toy motorcycle, he vows to ride it. In this imaginative adventure from Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary, a young mouse named Ralph is thrown into a world of excitement when a boy and his shiny toy motorcycle check in to the Mountain View Inn.

But the Jynx on Tuxatl are fighting a war of their own, and their world’s long-buried secrets could be more dangerous than the Prodryans. (This might be Mops’ fault.) The survival of humanity-those few who weren’t turned to feral, shambling monsters by an alien plague-as well as the fate of all other non-Prodryans, will depend on what Captain Mops and the crew of the EDFS Pufferfish discover on the ringed planet of Tuxatl. But if there’s one lesson Mops and her crew have learned, it’s that things like “training” and “being remotely qualified” are overrated. They were absolutely not trained to fight an interplanetary war with the xenocidal Prodryans or to make first contact with the Jynx, a race who might not be as primitive as they seem.

In Before We Were Free by Julia Alvarez, author of the adult novels In the Time of the Butterflies and How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, has crafted a poignant, suspenseful tale based on her childhood in the Dominican Republic. But don't be surprised if you find them staying up late to finish these stories, just as you did on long-ago summer nights. Three compelling new books for teens written by popular adult authors offer the perfect opportunity to get your kids started on summer reading. |
