An unlikely crew of Youngers join forces--Boots, who can climb anything, Ant, who will eat anything, Ren, who will say anything, and Tag, who doesn't appear to have any talent whatsoever. With their dubious skills, the fairy tales, a possibly magic ribbon, and an unwillingness to accept "that's impossible," they set off to rescue their windswept siblings in this spellbinding fantasy. Includes a map and black-and-white illustrations by award-winning artist Armando Veve -

Route 66, 100th Anniversary Edition: The Mother Road
The beloved, definitive book on Route 66--updated with a new chapter to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the most famous road in American culture
In Route 66: The Mother Road, Michael Wallis takes readers on an adventure from the conception of highways, through major moments in America's history, to the establishment of the national interstate highway system that signaled the decline of the fabled highway, before finally leading us down the 2,400 miles of Route 66 itself. With hundreds of photographs and text, he shows us that this road is still the enduring artery of the country, linking our past, present, and future. First published in 1990, the bestselling Route 66: The Mother Road sparked an unprecedented revival of the forgotten towns, diners, and motels along Route 66, transforming the road from a distant memory into a vibrant, internationally recognized destination in its own right. For this 100th anniversary edition, Wallis revisits the people and places that make Route 66 what it is: an American icon.
From its conception in 1926 to its decommissioning in 1985, Route 66 was the way to see the heartland of America. Winding through eight states and three time zones, The Mother Road was for travelers: those who appreciated the romance of the open highway. It led them from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California, acting as a guide to the towns, attractions, businesses, families, and sights of the nation's Midwest, Southwest, and West. -
Thinking Critically about What Matters: A Punk Rock Guide
With a refreshingly punk attitude of irreverence toward hierarchical authority and other cultural conventions, Thinking Critically About What Matters investigates philosophical perspectives from divergent traditions that share a common theme of liberating a person from their own self-centering biases and limited point of view when interpreting the information that comprises reality. The authors, an academic information literacy librarian with a background in philosophy, and an educational consultant and former K-8 teacher, present an actionable approach to critical thinking that will give you the philosophical tools you need to creatively embody these philosophical perspectives in your own life and work. Organized into six chapters, this guide- outlines a rebellious attitude for thinking critically about evaluating information, media bias, and information literacy education more broadly;
- shares practical strategies for sound decision-making and creative thinking in both individual and group contexts;
- demonstrates how Socrates' philosophically therapeutic approach can be adapted for critical thinking that's grounded in intellectual humility, open-mindedness, and frank assessment of one's values and assumptions about what matters in life;
- explores Zen Buddhism's playful, rule-breaking approach to critical thinking, including Bruce Lee's Taoist admonition to "Be Water," Buddhism's invitation to "widen one's window on oneself and the world" through an emphasis on de-centering the self, and the importance of reflecting on the nature of impermanence;
- discusses Friedrich Nietzsche's critique of the hegemony of dominant cultural values as universal "shoulds" and recommends Nietzsche's "bespoke" theory of practical wisdom centered on positive psychology, self-trust, and individual and group self-expression as a more suitable basis for sound-decision making;
- culminates in a discussion of intersectional anarchist perspectives on leadership and meaningful work, proposing direct democratic decision-making as a practical framework for inclusive decision-making in teams and organizations;
- includes extensive artwork and "zine"-style illustrations of philosophical concepts that can serve as the basis for lesson plans, presentations, professional development workshops, or even entire courses on critical thinking; and
- concludes with reflections on the unique cultural role librarians can play in democratizing information and fostering critical thinking.

Jardín Al Fondo de la Noche / A Garden in the Depths of Night
«Guinea, la narradora -con sus relaciones rotas, sus recuerdos plagados de asco y el deseo de aplastar los olores de una casa podrida y macabra- tendrá que buscar la luminosidad de no hacerse más daño y poder gritar, romper, quemar, denunciar. Con esta novela, Santaolalla se atreve a nombrar lo que hemos callado y a proyectar, en un muro, el teatro de lo oscuro y lomacabro.»-Karina Sosa En la casa nueva de Guinea, las paredes están tapadas con espejos de piso a techo; las cortinas, casi siempre cerradas, y los cuartos apestan a jabón y a desinfectante con olor a pino. El nuevo papá de Guinea se unta tantos aromas que a ella le pica la nariz cuando él se le acerca; y odia la luz, igual que los vampiros. Este papá vampiro dice ser sonámbulo y pasa el tiempo rondando a Guinea. Nadie más parece notar que es un vampiro, salvo su nuevo hermano mayor, Pascual, quien le cuenta historias para dar sentido a lo que no se puede entender. Mientras todo pasa, Guinea se refugia en un jardín, enorme y secreto, habitado por conejas y cubierto de niebla. Ahí, el tiempo pasa más rápido, y ella aprende que debe quedarse quieta, en silencio, casi sin respirar. Una novela que recorre los espacios familiares que se fijan en la memoria por su naturaleza ominosa. Ximena Santaolalla, ganadora del premio Mauricio Achar-Random House 2021, nos entrega en esta, su segunda novela, una historia donde el juego es la traza del horror más íntimo, doméstico. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In Guinea's new house, the walls are mirrored from floor to ceiling, the curtains are almost always closed, and the rooms smell of soap and pine-scented disinfectant. Guinea's new father wears so many scents that her nose tickles when he comes near and, like a vampire, he can't stand daylight. He claims he sleepwalks, and Guinea is always waking up to find him there. No one else seems to notice he is a vampire except her new older brother, Pascual, who tells her stories to explain the things she doesn't understand. Guinea's refuge is a vast secret garden, home to mist and a colony of rabbits. Time seems to pass more quickly there, and she learns to stay quiet, silent, hardly daring to breathe. In this her second novel, Ximena Santaolalla, winner of the 2021 Mauricio Achar-Random House Prize, brings us an ominous tale about the most intimate kind of horror: family dysfunction. -

Ancient Spells and Incantations: Echoes of Magic Through the Ages and Across Cultures
A collection of ancient spells and incantations, translated and interpreted for today's reader, brings long-ago meanings closer for those engaged in magical practices of manifestation, prophecy, love, protection, healing, curses, and even vengeance.
Each page of Ancient Spells and Incantations holds verses adapted from text unearthed through extensive research--grimoires, letters, and trial transcripts from across the ages and around the world. Many of these were tucked away in university libraries not easily accessible even to one actively in search of them. Enid Baxter Ryce painstakingly researched this collection, finding fragments from across the centuries.
Translating some from Latin and Old English herself, Enid has made the spells accessible to today's witches. What was once whispered or chanted, spiraling in cursive, or carved in stone, still echoes like a song. The words that survived connect us to that ancient magic, and we can feel the truth and power.
As we marvel at these ancient magical words, we think of our ancestors. Thanks to them, scraps of papyrus, shards of pottery, secret books, and hissed recipes can, hundreds of years later, still show themselves to those who seek them.
