by Nicholas FiskTrillions were hard, bright, tiny things which suddenly arrived - millions and millions and millions of them - one windy day in a village called Harbourtown.No one could explain them, much less why they had suddenly arrived. Were they a blessing, as their beauty suggested, or a deadly, inexplicable threat? A boy with a microscope was just as likely to come up with the answer as all the acknowledged experts in any known kind of science, so somehow it seemed natural for two 'ordinary' boys, Scott and Bem, to join forces with an ex-spaceman against the frightening efforts of the ruthless General Harman to destroy the Trillions, no matter what the cost.

Tropic of Chaos: Climate Changes and the New Geography of Violence
by Christian ParentiFrom Africa to Asia and Latin America, the era of climate wars has begun. Extreme weather is breeding banditry, humanitarian crisis, and state failure. In Tropic of Chaos, investigative journalist Christian Parenti travels along the front lines of this gathering catastrophe--the belt of economically and politically battered postcolonial nations and war zones girding the planet's midlatitudes. Here he finds failed states amid climatic disasters. But he also reveals the unsettling presence of Western military forces and explains how they see an opportunity in the crisis to prepare for open-ended global counterinsurgency. Parenti argues that this incipient "climate fascism"--a political hardening of wealthy states-- is bound to fail. The struggling states of the developing world cannot be allowed to collapse, as they will take other nations down as well. Instead, we must work to meet the challenge of climate-driven violence with a very different set of sustainable economic and development policies.

The Trouble with Jeremy Chance
by George HarrarFrom School Library Journal Grade 4-8--In the winter of 1919, 12-year-old Jeremy Chance is living with his father and cousin Sadie in rural New Hampshire. Eagerly awaiting the return of his brother Davey, who was fighting in World War I, he passes his time visiting neighbors, especially old Mr. Cutter. When Cutter and his father argue over a walnut tree, the boy is forbidden future visits. When Jeremy disagrees with his father about the dispute he is given his first serious whipping for disrespect. Hurt that his father would punish him for speaking his mind, Jeremy hops a train to Boston hoping to find his brother, whose ship is due at any time. He happens to be in the North End during the Great Molasses Flood at the moment the distillery tanks burst and spill two million gallons of molasses and becomes a hero when he rescues a man trapped beneath a wagon. His father arrives shortly after the incident and is too proud of his heroic son to punish him for running away. The story ends a bit too neatly and predictably as Jeremy and his father happen upon the recently returned Davey in a local tavern. This appealing story about the need to know when to forgive is rich in period detail. An afterword provides historical context and explains which of the events depicted are true. A good coming-of-age story, set in an interesting time and populated with engaging characters.
