Fever Crumb (Hardcover)
Availability: Coming Soon - Available for Pre-Order Now
Published: Scholastic Press, 04/01/2010
In a far future vaguely post-apocalyptic London, a girl begins to discover that she has more questions than answers. She is the only female in an enclave of Engineers, where she is taught to be rational -- she shaves her head (hair is unnecessary) and does not give in to feelings (instincts are a vestige of humanity’s primitive past, a good Engineer learned to suppress them). When she accepts her first assignment as an Engineer, however, this rational worldview is challenged as events begin to unfold that she cannot explain, and is increasingly uncertain how to respond to... a coming-of-age story filled with adventure, reflection, and the age-old tension between heart and mind. Scholastic Press, $17.99. April 2010.

Galileo's Dream (Hardcover)
Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Spectra, 12/01/2009
In Stan Robinson’s dream, Galileo was visited by far-future humans, inhabitants of the Jovian moons, who occasionally guided him in his experiments and sometimes brought him forward to their time to visit his discoveries. The question is with all of this meddling; will the time-line be altered? And will Galileo allow himself to be used as a pawn in their future machinations?
In addition to trips forward in time, we are also treated to Galileo’s life and times, and his battles against the dogmas of his day. Seek truth and face the consequences ... and the inquisition ... or be safe and accept the status quo?
Stan’s writing is such that I often doubted what I remembered from my history of science courses, and I often found myself wanting to consult those texts. What is real and what is Stan? Only an author of Stan’s ability can write history and make it his own, and make it this believable.
