Sometimes the only way to hold onto what we love is to let go.

Kai Sosa is so passionate about swimming he is practically a fish. This summer, he's determined to become the athlete he once was on an elite swim team.

But something invisible holds him back. His race times are off. Dreams of his sister Cali haunt him. And he hasn't found her missing gold cuff, her last request. Mom is still talking about grief, even though it's been two years since she disappeared. He's fine now, isn't he?

When Kai discovers a library book Cali had checked out multiple times--about an underwater realm and a mysterious place called the Library of Despair and Sorrow--details from the story begin to appear in his own life: dolphin pods, imposing rock towers, unusual sea creatures, and even Cali's beloved bracelet. As myth and reality collide, El Niño unleashes its fury, and Kai is swept up in a storm of events that will change his understanding of love, death, grief, and how best to honor those we've lost.

Exquisitely packaged with breathtaking illustrations by award-winning artist Joe Cepeda and printed in blue ink.

Only this year the ghosts seem different. They are angrier than usual, and they seem to be growing in power. No problem, Evey can get to the bottom of why and send all the ghosts back to their cages.

But what she uncovers makes her angry too. What if the ghosts don't deserve to be caged? What if they have every right to be furious?

From the world's leading expert on negotiation, an essential guide to negotiating in any situation--whether over Zoom, across political and cultural divides, or during a supply chain crisis

At the same time, the book provides a concise and expert overview of essential negotiating techniques for anyone new to the subject or who wants a refresher. The result is a must-read--a powerful toolkit for successfully negotiating in a world where the game of negotiation has changed.

Charlie had an ordinary name and lived on an ordinary ranch.
But Charlie was no ordinary horse.
Charlie knew he could fly.

But no one believed him.
The naysayers said,
"Ordinary horses do ordinary work.
They drag wagons, pull plows, and haul hay.
Horses can't fly.
So don't even try."

So begins the story of Charlie, an ambitious, determined and speedy horse who, with the help of some friends, proves once and for all that horses can fly. After years of toiling away as a work horse, Charlie, finally recognized for his incredible speed, ends up as a prize racehorse of Leland Stanford, the founder of Stanford University. Stanford has commissioned a photographer named Eadweard Muybridge to take high-speed photos of Charlie as he runs. During the trials, Muybridge snaps a photo of Charlie with all four hooves off the ground, thus proving all the naysayers wrong -- Charlie can fly!

Conveyed through Charlie's story is an important message of resilience and self-confidence, telling young readers, "Believe in yourself, give it a try! How else will you prove that you can fly?"
