From Saturday Night Live legend Kate McKinnon comes the highly anticipated third book in her #1 New York Times bestselling series about mad science, three peculiar sisters, and the mysterious Millicent Quibb!

The Porch sisters are going on a trip--this time, to the beautiful almost-French city of ParisToo.

Between baguettes, berets, and one very big bug--what could go wrong?

Everything, of course. You see, there's just one problem with ParisToo: it's where the evil KRA is planning to execute their most dastardly plan yet!

It's up to Gertrude, Eugenia, Dee-Dee, and their dear mentor Millicent Quibb, to stop those nefarious mad scientists from taking over the world. Though coming up with a plan is easier said than done when danger--like a tree that throws coconuts, a suspicious pile of sausage, or a glaring aunt--lurks around every corner.
If Millicent Quibb and the sisters Porch are going to defeat the KRA once and for all, they'll need to uncover long buried secrets (including some that might just change everything...) and tap into the world of mad science like they never have before.

At any and all costs, the KRA MUST! BE! STOPPED!

From award-winning and New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Grace Lin comes a gorgeous picture book about a community coming together to build something beautiful.

When a small stone Buddha falls off a cyclist's wagon, he lands in a neglected part of a busy city street. People often throw trash here, turning this part of the city into a rather unpleasant sight. But as passersby begin to notice the little stone Buddha, they start to wonder: what if we each made a small change that brightened this shared part of our community?

Inspired by a true story, The Little Stone Buddha shows us how a small action--or, in this case, a small Buddha--can change a moment, which can change a decision, which can change the spirit, which can, in the end, change everything.

The story of the life and music of a pop superstar and a kaleidoscopic window into fame, homophobia, the 80s and 90s, creative genius, and addiction, revealing why the love for George Michael has only grown in the years since his tragic death on Christmas Day 2016.

There is no shortage of earnest books about the cultural significance of musicians like David Bowie, Bob Dylan, and John Lennon. But George Michael does not attract such attention. The music he produced is not generally deemed worthy of serious analysis, the man considered more noteworthy as a celebrity than a cultural figure. Yet such dismissals overlook how Michael's life and work broke extraordinary boundaries and, in so doing, helped define an era.

A second generation immigrant and child of a Greek-Cypriot restaurateur, Michael could barely read music, and was not trained on any instrument, yet would compose hit songs in a single afternoon and play nearly every instrument on recordings that have reached totemic status. He had the rare ability to master both rock and R&B; and was, following Freddie Mercury's death, seriously considered as a replacement frontman for Queen.

For many he became a symbol of eighties excess, played benefit gigs for miners and nurses, and was a prolific secret philanthropist. He had massive pop hits sometimes without any promotion at all, even after launching one of the most aggressive court cases against a record company in pop history. He was a teen crush for millions of girls, and stayed in the closet due to intense homophobia from his father and the media, but then became an impassioned campaigner for gay rights. A large part of his audience was suburban, middle-aged, female, and white, yet some of his most famous tunes were essentially R&B pop songs about casual sex in the city. He was wildly popular, at times ridiculed in the press, and fêted by some of the toughest critics, often simultaneously.

A deeply personal engagement with the life and music of George Michael, Sathnam Sanghera's groundbreaking Tonight the Music Seems So Loud offers a colorful, insightful story on immigration, homophobia, and fame; the glorious eras of the 80s and 90s; creative and musical genius; the tabloids; addiction; obsessive fans; and why the love for George Michael has only grown in the years since his untimely death.

This nonfiction picture book for young readers ages 7-10 reveals the true story of General George Washington's brave decision to inoculate his troops against smallpox during the American Revolution.

1775

General George Washington and his ragtag army are preparing to battle the powerful British military when the first attack comes-- from an enemy that is invisible and deadly--smallpox!

The disease wreaks havoc on his troops, foils his plans, and threatens to extinguish hope for independence. Desperate to get smallpox under control, Washington faces an agonizing decision--one that could either destroy his army or save it. He knew what he had to do, but how? The fate of a nation was on the line. Here is a new look at a founding father that uniquely shows why vaccines remain important today.

In this thrilling sequel to The Mask of Fear, set one year before season one of Andor, truth becomes a weapon of the Empire.

Over a decade into the Empire's reign, life under Imperial rule has become routine. The days of the Republic have long passed into memory--if they are remembered at all.

Within the Senate, Mon Mothma and Bail Organa face dwindling influence, for there is no difference between the will of the Emperor and the direction of his Empire. Bail increasingly shifts his focus to support clandestine resistance efforts, knowing a successful fight against the Empire will come from beyond the halls of power. Meanwhile, Mon Mothma sees one chance to take a stand when she makes a horrifying discovery about the lengths the regime will go to weaponize truth and loyalty. The Empire's newest target: the next generation raised under the Emperor's ever deepening shadow, including Mon and Bail's daughters.

Across the galaxy, disparate rebel factions are rendered outcasts, branded criminals, and pitted against each other. On Ghorman, an idealistic student group seeks to make meaningful change, unaware of the ISB agent who seeks to sabotage them from the inside. Leaders like Saw Gerrera and Anto Kreegyr squabble and bargain to survive one more day against the crush of Imperial might. Trust is rare and betrayal quick. A distracted, disorganized resistance is one that is easy to snuff out. There are few heroes . . . and no alliances.

When one of Gerrera's partisans is captured by the Empire, time is running out for senators, outcasts, spies, and all those that desire a better tomorrow. What the prisoner knows could help the Empire eradicate any whisper of resistance, end any rebellion before it can truly begin--and ensure that the Empire's truth is all the galaxy will ever know.

Navigate reproductive health systems with confidence and get the care you've always deserved

We Deserve More: Why Reproductive Healthcare is Broken--And What You Can Do About It, by Nikki Sapiro Vinckier, OB/GYN PA-C, exposes the systemic failures plaguing reproductive healthcare and shows readers how to advocate for themselves with clarity and confidence. Vinckier, a nationally recognized OB/GYN Physician Assistant with over a decade of clinical experience, reproductive health creator, and founder of Take Back Trust, takes on the root causes of medical dismissal, rushed and inadequate care, and the quiet traumas that leave millions of patients feeling invisible in exam rooms across America. Written through a nonpartisan lens, this book pulls back the curtain on what's broken in reproductive healthcare--and offers practical tools to speak up, be heard, and finally get the care you deserve.

Drawing on her extensive clinical background and advocacy work, Vinckier unpacks how flawed medical training, restrictive insurance policies, relentless time pressures, and systemic bias intersect to leave patients unheard and underserved. She examines everything from the routine downplaying of women's pain to the role social media has taken on as an unofficial medical resource, while centering the lived experiences of patients dismissed, delayed, or denied care--from Black maternal health inequities to overlooked menopause symptoms and years-long waits for an endometriosis diagnosis.

• Self-advocacy tools that work in the room: Practical scripts for pushing back when your pain is minimized, step-by-step prep for visits, and strategies for documenting encounters so you can be heard and taken seriously.
• Behind-the-scenes truth of the system: A clear look at how OB/GYN training, insurance rules, and time pressure actually shape the care you receive--and why so many providers end up overlooking conditions like endometriosis, menopause, and perinatal mental health.
• Validation with evidence: Blends clinical expertise with real patient stories to confirm what so many have felt--medical gaslighting, bias, and delayed diagnoses aren't "in your head," they're systemic patterns that can be named and challenged.
• Comprehensive navigation for every stage: From painful periods to fertility struggles, from respectful birth to menopause, the book offers strategies to find affirming providers, advocate for pain management, and build care that finally centers you.

This book serves women, queer people, and people with uteruses ages 18-60 who have felt dismissed, confused, or traumatized by reproductive healthcare--and are ready to demand better. It is equally essential for healthcare providers, advocates, and supporters who want to understand and address the systemic barriers shaping reproductive care.

Whether you are navigating painful periods brushed off as "normal," searching for answers after years without a diagnosis, struggling to find real menopause care, fighting for respectful reproductive healthcare, or simply trying to be heard in the exam room, We Deserve More provides the validation, strategy, and solidarity you need to transform your healthcare experience and finally be heard.

From the #1 bestselling author of Grit, a new book that reveals the hidden power of situations--and how you can shape them to bring out your best.

In Angela Duckworth's first book, she showed that a common denominator of successful strivers is a blend of passion and perseverance she dubbed "grit." This second book springs from her deepening realization that grit, while necessary, is sometimes not sufficient. How you situate yourself to meet a challenge can be crucial.

Duckworth's in-depth research reveals the enormous influence wielded by the objects within arm's reach, your peers and mentors, and even your zip code. Though you're often told to make the best of your situation, it is far, far better to make your situation better first.

In Situated, you'll discover:
-Why your personality changes, sometimes dramatically, from one situation to another--and how you can harness that shift
-The secret to conquering temptation without willpower
-Why taking the less effortful path can feel like cheating but often solves a stubborn problem
-How the company you keep shapes the person you become
-The most effective ways to help others succeed

Highlighting four essential elements of successful situations, Duckworth shows how high performers like Taylor Swift, Michael Phelps, and Jerry Seinfeld create situations that make it easier to excel. And with disarming honesty, she shares her own struggles with burnout and marriage--and how learning to change her situation, not herself, made all the difference. Whatever it is you want to achieve, there's a situation that can make your journey easier.

It takes effort to make your situation your ally--but a little effort goes a long way...when you get situated.
