The earth has been uninhabitable for decades, but now humanity has
returned to the planet. Mankind, though intellectually advanced has
become spiritually sightless and bound by fear and insecurity and
mankind's survivors have grown apart into two tribes: the
spiritually enlightened Otom, living in brotherhood with the
ocean-dwelling Mers, and the unemotional, strangely youthful
Scientists, who live in their city beneath the ground. The Otom and
the Scientists have the opportunity to meet and learn from each
other. But the Otom must reach enlightenment if they are to
survive, and some of the Scientists have plans that threaten their
goal.

A Robot Squashed My Teacher is the laugh-out-loud, wacky adventure by Pooja Puri brilliantly illustrated by Allen Fatimaharan, the sequel to the Marcus Rashford Book Club Selected book A Dinosaur Ate My Sister.
Before you start reading, there are a few things you should know:
1. I, Esha Verma, am a genius inventor extraordinaire.
2. I like lists.
3. I did not mean to turn my teacher into a pigeon. Some things just can't be helped.
Esha Verma, her snotty apprentice Broccoli and his secretly cunning pet tortoise have a dream. They are going to win the legendary Brain Trophy – the ultimate inventing prize. This year's entry: The RoarEasy – a gadget that lets the user speak to animals.
But when Esha's arch-nemesis, fellow inventor Ernie, lands her in detention, the RoarEasy malfunctions and suddenly Monsieur Crépeau is TRANSFORMED INTO A PIGEON.
Luckily for Esha, she knows exactly what she needs to repair her invention and where to find it: locked away in the mysterious Central Research Laboratories.
She, Broccoli, Archibald and Monsieur Crépeau will have to go undercover and break into the labs before the competition to return Monsieur Crépeau to his human form. And with Ernie following them, determined to foil their plans as they face giant robots, killer plants, shrinking machines, robo-spiders, clouds that make you float and terrifying twisters, they're going to need all the help they can get to get out of this wacky pickle.

The future of Landerton, a town on the verge of chaos, lies in
the hands of two brothers. Fortunately, these aren't just average,
everyday men. These brothers are heroes.
And not just average, everyday heroes-they are superheroes named
Lightning Bolt and Blazer, although they have no memories of their
origins. But even with super powers, they may not learn the truth
about the violence threatening their town until it is too late.
They're going to need help, and these young superheroes will
soon come to see that anyone can be a hero when the situation calls
for it. When it really matters, the people you grew up with can be
heroic too, and the whole town will need a substantial amount of
courage and help to save themselves.
Now, the brothers will have to dig deep to stay a step ahead of
a psychotic, ill-tempered assassin who is honor-bound on a dark
mission; a crazed man obsessed with vengeance; a bank robber who
can teleport; a female mastermind-and whatever else lurks in the
shadows of their past.
As the brothers go through their first epic adventure, they find
great friends-friends they will need for the biggest battle of
their young lives.
The world and its future are at stake, and only Lightning Bolt
and Blazer can save it.
For the first time ever, Robert Stanek's In the Service of Dragons
II is available in a high-quality, hardcover edition with a dust
jacket. This uniquely collectible edition features: two full-color
cover illustrations; a special introduction to Ruin Mist's
inhabitants, history, and languages; 20 full-page illustrations; an
illustrated guide to people, places and things in Ruin Mist; and
deluxe illustrated maps. About the Author: Robert Stanek is the
award-winning, international best-selling author of more than 65
books for young people and adults. He lives with his wife and
children in the Pacific Northwest in the United States, and is
intensely fascinated with our natural world. He loves the outdoors
and frequently takes his family on short trips to see the natural
wonders of the Pacific Northwest, including Mount Rainier, Mount
St. Helens, the Columbia River Gorge, and Puget Sound. About the
Book: Dark change is sweeping over the lands of Ruin Mist. An
ancient evil has returned from the dark past, and the dark forces
gather. War comes to the lands as the queen of the elves foretold.
Though despair abounds and evil seeks to reign, there is hope.
Queen Mother sees hope through a union of the divided peoples: an
alliance of men and elves to fight against the forces of darkness.
But between men and elves there is no love and little trust. Only
truth and faith can guide their destinies. In the Kingdoms, old
hatreds have returned and a greedy king lusts for power. Prince
Valam, with the help of the elves, saved Great Kingdom from
destruction by the mighty forces of King Jarom but not before the
city of Alderan was burned to ashes. Now Prince Valam must journey
to East Reach, land of the elves, to help save the elves from a war
such as never before seen in the lands: a war between elves, a war
for the future of the elven kingdoms. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to
them all, the early battles for Ruin Mist's future against the
coming darkness have already been fought. These battles, won at
great cost and by the barest of margins, were meant to divert
attention from what Noman, the mysterious Keeper of the City of the
Sky, can only guess at as he works to gather the company he
believes holds the key to Ruin Mist's future. Will the kingdoms of
men and elves fall? Will the peoples succumb to the darkness? Who
will live? Who will die? The answers are in Book Two of In the
Service of Dragons.
