Dream on
by Shannon Hale
Something is missing from Cassie's life. Her parents don't have much money, she has to share her bedroom (and bed!) with her sisters, and her family never seem to have time for her. To make matters worse, her best friend Vali is always busy with a new friend. When Cassie gets a letter from a magazine sweepstakes with the words YOU'RE THE WINNER stamped on the front, she thinks it's the answer to all her problems. She could buy new furniture to replace their shabby old sofa. Or maybe a car so her family doesn't have to take two trips to go places. Or maybe she can make Vali her best friend forever by taking her on a fabulous vacation. The possibilities are endless, like an all-you-can-eat buffet! But will prizes really solve Cassie's problems? And what will she lose if she doesn't win anything at all?--Provided by publisher.

Donald Trump, 2nd Edition: Unprecedented Politician
by Percy Leed
Donald Trump has been an unusual political leader ever since he was first elected to the US's highest office in 2016. President Trump's first term included more than twenty executive orders, three US Supreme Court justice nominations, and the first years of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following his loss to Joe Biden in 2020, Trump continued to speak out and influence politics. He maintained relationships with like-minded political leaders and used social media and news channels to impact public opinion. In his return as the Republican presidential nominee, he revived his call to Make America Great Again. In 2024, during a close, often contentious race, he succeeded over the incumbent vice president, Kamala Harris, becoming the oldest person ever elected US president and only the second-ever US president to be elected to two nonconsecutive terms. This updated biography covers President Trump's former life as a reality TV show star and real estate developer, his political career and controversies, and how he shaped his unconventional third campaign.

Las Escultoras de la Luz: Poemas Sobre Artistas Cubanas
by Margarita Engle
From the enchanting world of folk art to the captivating realms of photography, architecture, painting, sculpture, and music, the talent of Cuban women artists has long remained hidden on a global stage. The Sculptors of Light pays homage to the diverse tapestry of Cuban culture, where Indigenous, Spanish, West African, and Chinese influences blend seamlessly. For generations, women with ancestral roots tracing back to the Taíno and Ciboney peoples have skillfully melded their Native traditions with art forms from Spain, Africa, and China. These extraordinary women have crafted objects of grace and strength, whether through lace, embroidery, ceramics, or other forms of expression. Yet, their names often went unrecorded, their fame unclaimed, and their art, though no less remarkable, was often relegated to smaller labels such as handicrafts, tradition, folk art, or women's work. Celebrate these nameless but immensely talented artists, whose contributions have left an indelible mark on Cuban art and culture. The Sculptors of Light is a poetic tribute to these unsung heroines, shedding light on their remarkable lives and legacies. Available in both English and Spanish, this collection is a testament to the enduring power of creativity, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of Cuban women artists.
