A Song for Arbonne

by Guy Gavriel Kay

Anselme, who has ever been acknowledged as the first and perhaps the greatest of all the troubadours of Arbonne, was of modest birth, the youngest son of a clerk in the castle of a baron near Cauvas. He was of middling height, dark haired, with a quiet manner in speech that was nonetheless wondrously pleasing to all who heard him. While yet tender in years, he showed great skill and interest in music and was invited to join the celebrated choir of the Cauvas sanctuary of the god. It was not long, however, before he felt the beginnings of a desire to make music very different from that acceptable in the service of the god, or indeed of the goddess Rian in her temples. And so Anselme left the comforts of the chapel and choir to make his way alone among the villages and castles of Arbonne, offering his new songs shaped of tunes and words such as he had heard sung by the common folk in their own speech...

Tom Swift in the Race to the Moon

by Victor Appleton

Tom's basic research had led him to the discovery of a previously unknown electromagnetic radiation given off by each element and its isotopes. As a result of this discovery, Tom had invented the Swift spectroscope. Later, he had developed a device that could reproduce this new type of radiation. Tom had found that by having this radiation out of phase with the natural radiation of the atom, a repelling force was set up. This force, when used to hold off sea water, had made it possible to tap helium-gas wells on the ocean bottom.

Doctor Dolittle's Zoo

by Hugh Lofting

If it wasn't a regular zoo to the ordinary public's way of thinking, it was very certainly Doctor Dolittle's idea of one. In his opinion, a zoo should be an animals' home, not an animals' prison. Every detail of our zoo was worked out with this idea foremost in mind, that the animals should be made comfort¬able and happy. Many of the old things were kept the same. There were certain rules, it is true, although the Doctor was not fond of rules, but they were all drawn up to protect the animals against one another, rather than to enslave them or cut off their liberty in any way.

Descent into Europa (Starman No. #4)

by Michael D. Cooper

The Starmen have learned that a mysterious alien race visited our Solar System thousands of years ago. In the third Starman book, Journey to the Tenth Planet, Zip Foster called them "The Benefactors" because of the kindness these people showed the diminutive people who live on Titan. While they were on the tenth planet, the Starmen discovered that the Benefactors have a vicious implacable enemy-the Xenobots, a violent race that is searching for its "ancient enemy," and will demolish Earth if necessary to further the search. In Descent Into Europa, Zip Foster organizes a desperate search to find the Benefactors before the enemy does. Without their help, Earth stands no chance against the technologically superior Xenobots. With impeccable logic, the Starman leader has determined that if the Benefactors had a central base in the Solar System, it had to be on Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter. What the Starmen do not even suspect is that there is also a powerful enemy close to home. The authors of this book donated a digital copy to Bookshare.org.

Comet in Moominland

by Tove Jansson Elizabeth Portch

"One thing is certain," said the Muskrat, "something is going to happen." When a secret sign -- a star with a tail -- started to appear all over Moominvalley, Moomintroll realized that it was either a threat or a warning. On the Muskrat's advice he set out, with the small animal Sniff, to ask the Professor in the Observatory on the Lonely Mountains about the habits of comets, just in case one was headed for the earth. Moominmamma had made them sandwiches and packed woolly trousers, a frying-pan and an umbrella, so they were well equipped for the expedition. There were plenty of adventures to be met on the way, as well as some very interesting people -- Snufkin, who played cheerful tunes on his mouth-organ, the moth-collecting Hemulen, and the Snork Maiden who completely changed Moomintroll's life. They discovered, too, that they were in real danger from the comet, which appeared to be rushing toward Moominvalley. This lively and unpredictable adventure story is written with Tove Jansson's usual whimsical humor. She was awarded the 1966 international Hans Christian Andersen Medal for her Moomin books.
