at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - Alice was beginning to get very
tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing
to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was
reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, and what is
the use of a book, ' thought Alice without pictures or
conversation?' So she was considering in her own mind (as well as
she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid),
whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the
trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a
White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

contemporary feel and a good dash of Stranger Things' - The
Bookseller Alfie has noticed a few things since his family moved to
Folding Ford. He really misses life in the city. He and his sister

weather is BONKERS. One frost-covered branch on one tree in the
middle of June? A tiny whirlwind in a bucket in the garden? Only in
Folding Ford. Armed with his bike, a notepad and his new best mate
Sam, Alfie is going to investigate. His best clue is Nathaniel
Clemm ... the only thing in town weirder than the weather. When
Alfie 'investigates' Mr Clemm's garden, only SLIGHTLY illegally, he
finds a strange box that freezes his trainers and makes his teeth
tingle. And when he opens it, only SLIGHTLY deliberately, SOMETHING
gets out. Something fast, fizzing and sparking with electricity and
very, very much alive. But the creature from the box brings trouble
of its own, and as barometers and tempers go haywire in Folding
Ford, Alfie finds himself at the centre of a perfect storm. Skellig
meets Stranger Things in this funny, heartfelt adventure story
perfect for fans of Ross Welford, Christopher Edge and Frank
Cottrell Boyce.

Two teens must learn the "art of killing" in this Printz Honor-winning book, the first in a chilling new series from Neal Shusterman, author of the New York Times bestselling Unwind dystology.
A world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery: humanity has conquered all those things, and has even conquered death. Now Scythes are the only ones who can end life--and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control.
Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe--a role that neither wants. These teens must master the "art" of taking life, knowing that the consequence of failure could mean losing their own.
Scythe is the first novel of a thrilling new series by National Book Award-winning author Neal Shusterman in which Citra and Rowan learn that a perfect world comes only with a heavy price.
