    Celestials

    by Shelby Elizabeth

    Riley Madison is a Shifter, one of the human population born with the ability to transform into their spirit animal. Knowing your spirit animal means knowing what kind of person you are. Most Shifters identify their spirit animal by puberty. Riley is approaching seventeen and still doesn't know hers; a fact that's beginning to worry her. She befriends Tristan Dawes, another Shifter in the same situation, and quickly finds their fates are connected when she sees an outline of a star in his eyes.A man named Christopher has a master plan for the three Shifters marked by the stars in their eyes. He needs them to identify their spirit animals in order to bring about his life's work, and is willing to do whatever it takes to make them. At first he tries subtlety. When that fails, he targets Riley's family. As Riley grows closer to identifying her spirit animal, her mother receives a cryptic phone call and disappears to find her father. The Shifters draw closer to war with Elementalists (humans with the ability to control one of the elements) and Riley finds herself fighting for the first time in her life - against Elementalists, Shifters, and even her own family.

    The Forgotten Man

    by Amity Shlaes

    It's difficult today to imagine how America survived the Great Depression. Only through the stories of the common people who struggled during that era can we really understand how the nation endured. These are the people at the heart of Amity Shlaes's insightful and inspiring history of one of the most crucial events of the twentieth century. In The Forgotten Man, Amity Shlaes, one of the nation's most respected economic commentators, offers a striking reinterpretation of the Great Depression. Rejecting the old emphasis on the New Deal, she turns to the neglected and moving stories of individual Americans, and shows how through brave leadership they helped establish the steadfast character we developed as a nation. Some of those figures were well known, at least in their day—Andrew Mellon, the Greenspan of the era; Sam Insull of Chicago, hounded as a scapegoat. But there were also unknowns: the Schechters, a family of butchers in Brooklyn who dealt a stunning blow to the New Deal; Bill W., who founded Alcoholics Anonymous in the name of showing that small communities could help themselves; and Father Divine, a black charismatic who steered his thousands of followers through the Depression by preaching a Gospel of Plenty. Shlaes also traces the mounting agony of the New Dealers themselves as they discovered their errors. She shows how both Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt failed to understand the prosperity of the 1920s and heaped massive burdens on the country that more than offset the benefit of New Deal programs. The real question about the Depression, she argues, is not whether Roosevelt ended it with World War II. It is why the Depression lasted so long. From 1929 to 1940, federal intervention helped to make the Depression great—in part by forgetting the men and women who sought to help one another. Authoritative, original, and utterly engrossing, The Forgotten Man offers an entirely new look at one of the most important periods in our history. Only when we know this history can we understand the strength of American character today.

    The Buried Giant

    by Kazuo Ishiguro

    From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of the Booker Prize–winning novel The Remains of the Day comes a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory. In post-Arthurian Britain, the wars that once raged between the Saxons and the Britons have finally ceased. Axl and Beatrice, an elderly British couple, set off to visit their son, whom they haven't seen in years. And, because a strange mist has caused mass amnesia throughout the land, they can scarcely remember anything about him. As they are joined on their journey by a Saxon warrior, his orphan charge, and an illustrious knight, Axl and Beatrice slowly begin to remember the dark and troubled past they all share. By turns savage, suspenseful, and intensely moving, The Buried Giant is a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory.
