Asserting that we’re already experiencing climate change—and there will be more to come—this short survey offers an accessible overview of human adaptation to this new state of affairs. In clear exposition studded with examples from near and far and references to expert sources, Nakaya begins by presenting the need for action, noting the marginalized populations who are most vulnerable to climate change–related hazards. Eventually, however, all of humanity will be affected. The author describes helpful actions, such as managing water resources, designing green urban infrastructure, preserving or restoring ecosystems, and developing early warning, monitoring, and evaluation systems for disasters. She notes challenges, too, including cost, government inaction, insufficient data, and a widespread lack of feelings of urgency. She offsets this litany of obstacles with encouraging examples of successes: rainwater harvesting at a school in Tanzania, mitigating sea level rise in Tuvalu, resto...

The story really begins when the Jenseys buy some enslaved people in 1843, including—as a companion for their daughter, Kate—a pretty, young biracial girl named Monette. The Jenseys own the Fox Creek plantation, upriver from New Orleans. They are William and Sarah, and their two children: Kate and her older brother, Breck. William is rightly proud of Fox Creek, which he took over after his father’s death. He and Sarah work hard and William treats enslaved people fairly by his lights, and better than most of his neighbors do. He disciplines them if he has no other choice, but he also rewards the group. Farming is often chancy, yet he is determined to eventually leave a prosperous Fox Creek to Breck. Then comes trouble, the depth of it hardly recognizable at the time. One of the newer enslaved workers, Sawney, insists on hoeing cotton by himself, not with a gang, the practice at Fox Creek. Of course, the real issue is insubordination. William tries, fruitlessly, to reason with the man. ...

After falling asleep one evening, Korean American James Mun is seemingly transported to a surreal world. But this isn’t a dream; it’s “the Flowering,” a dimension some people access via sleep. After meeting Bloom, a giant, lovable blue wolf who instantly takes to him, James joins Bloom’s Crew Blue, consisting of E (the leader), Honey, and Lux. (While they’re all humans who visit the Flowering each night, Bloom is a native citizen.) The crew, armed with weapons the members can materialize (with certain limitations), helps to free “marked citizens” who must move on to other dimensions. Those marked who don’t leave become crazed “moulded” citizens, which the crew vows to take out. When things start to happen that even E, Honey, and Lux can’t explain, Crew Blue seeks a Shaman in the unpredictable City. Kim’s delightfully intricate, dreamlike world comes with copious rules; the most crucial one involves monitoring sleep-time with a tattoolike “watch” on the back of a hand. (The humans will...

The year is 4050, and there is a serial killer on the loose. The Family Guy—so called because he murders entire families—is such an elusive and dangerous criminal that the authorities decide the only way to capture him is to build a real-life synthetic investigator designed with the mind and memories of fictional Scotland Yard super-sleuth Miranda “Serial Killer” Miller. “I was a work of fiction, an alloy of various detective tropes,” the synthetic Miller quips about her early 21st-century namesake. “Or a shameless rip-off, depending on who you listened to.” Miranda is dispatched to Las Vegas, England (a facsimile of the American original that now serves as Europe’s party capital) to investigate the latest crime scene. To fit in better with the locals, she has been programed to speak exclusively in IngoLingo, a Clockwork Orange -like “gobspew street-English, spawned by the fads and whims of smin knowed as the Vox Popeye.” In Las Vegas, she teams up with Bogart Wham, the “Numero Uno Ce...

Harrold is a former butler to King Charles III and the United Kingdom’s “leading expert on etiquette,” according to the jacket description, but he makes a good impression and does well without a ghostwriter. The Crown plays a modest role in the lives of most Britons, but Harrold’s parents were genuine enthusiasts who enjoyed visiting country houses or attending ceremonies where anyone connected to the royal family appeared. Catching the bug, he shared their fascination. As a child, he sent chatty letters to the queen, and by adolescence discovered that butlers made a career of assisting royalty and vowed to join them. He loved his first experience, a two-week stint cleaning a country house for the shooting season, after which the owners offered him a job. Trainee butlers spend their time scrubbing, vacuuming, and making beds, but he also attended a college course on serving at table. After some years in a run-of-the-mill manor, he was interviewed repeatedly before joining the househol...

Having taken readers everywhere from the rainforest to the desert, it was only a matter of time before this dynamic author-illustrator pair invited us somewhere even more tropical. To say that the experience was worth the wait is an understatement. This latest installment of the bestselling series features a brown-skinned father and child as guides into the vibrant world of the coral reef. The book is a harmonious marriage of text and illustration; Neal has composed a symphony of color that makes for utterly immersive settings that also offer opportunities to learn more. As schools of blue tangs swirl and dance in concentric circles around bright red coral, the effect is so lush that even the Little Mermaid would long to return to the sea. Messner’s perfectly chosen prose advances the story, introducing the protagonist to various nooks and crannies of the reef while allowing readers to feel the sensations of floating, diving, and breathing underwater as they turn the pages. Taking you...

When a frightening man breaks into her London kitchen one evening, Alice Rathbone leaps into action. She’s hosting a playdate for her daughter and two other families, and when the intruder grabs a large kitchen knife and moves toward the room with the children in it, Alice goes into serious defense mode, grabbing a stool the man had kicked at her and fatally whacking him on the head. While waiting to hear from the police about whether she’ll be charged or cleared of any wrongdoing, Alice grapples with the randomness of the break-in, wanting to know more about her attacker. By all appearances, he was visibly under the effects of drugs or alcohol—or perhaps both—and had forced his way into a high-value home in a still-gentrifying neighborhood bent on destruction. But Alice can’t shake the desire to find out more about the person she killed, who turns out to be 18-year-old Ezra Jones. When, against her bail conditions, she wends her way into the life of Ezra’s family, things go spectacul...

After petty feuds end his friendships with classmates Tinker and Knox, Marco Torres, a fifth grader at Gabriel García Márquez K-8 school somewhere near Lake Michigan, decides to procure new friends via an ad for “mail-order monsters” found in his dad’s vintage comic book. When they arrive, the monsters appear to be tiny, inert, rubber figurines, but he follows the instructions that tell him to take a bath with them; as promised, the figurines grow to be a foot tall and come to life. The three monsters are Growler, a red-furred gorilla with tentacles on his head who is a great digger and utters an ebullient, ear-splitting roar; Camo, a chameleonic character who changes color or turns invisible to blend with her surroundings and perfectly mimics any sound or voice; and Stinky, a green-skinned, yellow-haired creature whose power is to emit strong odors both nasty (rotting fish) and nice (fragrances of coconut and fried onion rings). When Marco takes them to school, the playful, talkative...

It’s 1954, and May, once a child star molded by an ambitious, domineering mother, now drifts between dimly lit taverns in “Drinkers City,” a fictional, archetypal nightlife world “just past Respectability and Sobriety,” before her journey later takes her to Los Angeles. At Ace’s Bar, where her husband and his brother preside uneasily, she drinks, remembers, and resists collapse. The book alternates between May’s present—bartending shifts, fights with her brutish husband. Ace, stolen tenderness with his brother Alexander—and her past on the vaudeville circuit, where her mother turned her into “Baby May,” a child star in frilly dresses and bonnets who twirled a pink lollipop onstage. Childhood memories flood back: being forced to perform night after night, her mother drilling her with, “You’ve got to work harder, May, it’s all about the act.” Interludes of intimacy, such as hiding beneath the dressing table of Doris, a glamorous young performer May idolizes, while her mother storms thro...

Thirteen-year-old Elma Quill’s family isn’t like any other—people believe that her grandfather Jonathan is crazy, her mother, Patricia, has recently come back from the dead, and her father, Jason, is missing. In a quaint Victorian farmhouse in Oklahoma, Patricia calls a meeting so that Elma can hear the full story of her family’s treasure, though Jonathan has a different name for it: “More like my curse. Or rather, our  curse. Our family curse.” He has been entangled in a search for a treasure that began in 1963, when his dying mentor, P.R. Simms, bequeathed him a secret tome called The Codex . This journal contains clues stretching back to when the famous author Washington Irving hid chests containing mysterious gold coins in the prairie. As is the case with Wheelbarger’s narrative, with its timelines that overlap and intersect, the history of this treasure (“the Draco Hoard”) is not as straightforward as one might expect. Competing organizations resort to desperate experiments, ...

Former classmates at St. Anthony of Padua elementary school in Springhaven, Pennsylvania, come together to organize a gathering 55 years after their graduation in 1964. The process of planning for the event brings back memories of childhood friendships, rivalries, infatuations, and heartbreaks at this Catholic institution, named after a saint who receives prayers to restore lost objects and loved ones. This book is firmly rooted in a community defined by a liturgical calendar, celebrations of Christmas and Easter, the presence of priests and nuns, and ritual observances such as Mass, communion, confession, fasting during Lent, and choir practice. The worldbuilding is rich, flavorful, and convincing, in part because the author draws from his own experience of attending a Catholic school in Philadelphia's suburbs. Two relationships stand out in the ensemble cast: The bond that develops between Paul Perdu and Ronald “Biggsy” Biggs, due to their shared responsibilities as altar boys, ...

Bogle proudly calls himself a “cat dad.” His path to this form of parenthood wasn’t obvious. He didn’t live with cats when he was a kid. Inheriting his parents’ views—“Cats aren’t nice. They bite. Their pee smells”—Bogle was predisposed not to like them. “This cat is going to ruin my life!” he whined when a girlfriend told him they were going to care for her aunt’s pet, Kitt. Within a few hours, this 24-year-old was a new man. Kitt was purring into his shoulder and sleeping on his chest. He wondered: “What in the hell was wrong with my parents?” Bogle has since made up for lost time. He’s rescued cats, bottle-fed kittens, and, in his words, “watched approximately two million hours of English football (a.k.a. soccer) on TV with at least one cat sleeping on me.” A travel writer and photographer, Bogle began documenting his encounters with strays all over the world. His book showcases 20 places where he’s made feline friends. “When it comes to street cats,” he writes, “I admire how they ...

Zachary Whitlock is a young man of the Quaker faith living on Bainbridge Island in Washington. World War II has only recently come to a close, and Zachary is on a quest to find his purpose. Being Quakers, his family members are known as conscientious objectors; this status, combined with their close relationship with their Japanese American neighbors, the Miyotas, has made them targets of bigotry. An acquaintance, the actual historical figure Floyd Schmoe (“A Quaker. A conscientious objector. Almost a legend”), tells Zachary of the newly formed Heifer Project and its efforts to bring livestock to Japan to help the Japanese people rebuild after bombings by the United States. Zachary decides to join the cause and help shepherd more than 200 goats across the Pacific Ocean. To join Schmoe on his mission, Zachary must enlist in the Coast Guard, which is in direct defiance of his family’s deeply held religious beliefs. Zachary chooses not to enlist, but when the requirement to join the Coas...

A self-described “company hack,” Gell immerses readers in a startup scene, where colleagues waste time with Nerf guns and pingpong battles. He judges his boss for chowing down on Lucky Charms while lecturing him about quotas in “This Man’s in Charge?” “The Value of a College Education” critiques the predatory nature of student loans and universities’ failure to share which majors generate “serious” income. Readers learn in “Who Is Your Master” that an MBA only makes one overqualified and underpaid. “Working Stiffs” finds the speaker reminiscing about his college days and longing for a greasy spoon called the Breakfast Buzz where “When the bill comes, / you only owe $27 / and you can’t feel your fucking legs!” The speaker finds some relief in a cabin in the redwoods in “West Marin, In Us All,” taking pleasure in “a hot shower, / a strong gummy, / pizza, / some good red.” Aging concerns arise in “Lines” when wrinkles appear and his beard starts graying. In “Slide Through Your Hands,” a ...

Each chapter presents a question, followed by the “answer” in the form of a unique narrative. The opening query, for example, concerns The Wizard of Oz : “When the tornado took Dorothy’s house to Oz, it landed on the Wicked Witch of the East and killed the witch instantly. What was the witch doing in the road in the first place?” The answer, it turns out, involves an argument with her apprentice. Garg explores a handful of tales, including the motivations behind duping the naked emperor (in “The Honor of Emperors and Thieves”) and the reason why Jack (of Jack and Jill fame) was carrying that pail of water in the first place (in “To Fetch a Pail of Water”). Each story varies in length; the haunting “Denying Hamelin” is only three pages, and the longest, “The Beauty Before She Sleeps,” is 33. While none of the stories can be called happy, some are particularly grim in nature—parents left bereft at the disappearance of their children, death, betrayal, etc. Each story gets its own questio...

The author offers a tale set in a post-World War III world where society has grown too comfortable with its ability to mitigate catastrophes. Some folks live quite happily on the moon, and those still living on terra firma regularly pack dangerous fault lines and fissures around the globe with, basically, high-tech glue. One character blithely tells Syia, “In the past 21 years, there has never been any seismic activity greater than 2.8 on the Richter Scale in locations where fusing has been completed.” Cue a massive quake that rocks the Midwest, reducing St. Louis’ Gateway Arch to rubble and forcing the mighty Mississippi River to change direction. All that heroic St. Louis resident Syia wants to do is save as many people as she can and reunite with her daughter, Marla, who was running near the Arch. Marla, who’s set to compete in the 2142 Summer Olympics on Earth’s moon, is a triathlete with Down syndrome who’s as courageous as her mother; when disaster strikes, she rescues babies fr...

The collection opens with a paean to failure—or rather, to the opportunities that arise from misses. The essay “Czech-ing Out of Prague,” ostensibly about an awkward Teaching English as a Foreign Language course in Prague, tracks the author’s life from a childhood pursuing auditions to an adulthood chasing the spotlight, all in vain. Alpert’s unsuccessful attempts at launching a movie career (or singing career, or any other showbiz venture) ultimately become the launchpads of misadventures and brushes with the famous and fabulous in these pieces. The opening essay points to the author’s adventurous streak; “Revenge Travel” establishes her as a globe-trotter (including a nod to her stint as a Pilates instructor…in Dubai). “Celebrity Adjacent” captures what it’s like to be a friend of someone with a connection to a bona fide big deal (Chaz Bono, child of Cher). In Alpert’s words, she was “Cher adjacent”; the essay ultimately crescendos with a phone call from the iconic star herself. The...

“Travelling on a Greyhound bus,” writes Pocock, “you can disappear.” Her first journey across the United States by Greyhound took place in 2006, when, recovering from a miscarriage, she disappeared into herself and the continent’s vastness. Her second voyage, in 2023, is a study in contrasts. Foremost is a decline, in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and the rise of personal technology, in people interacting freely with one another in “the camaraderie of people who know that if they could, they would be elsewhere, living another kind of life, but who are making the most of this one, and perhaps even enjoying this brief moment of communion.” The clientele is still much the same, she notes: released prisoners on their way to lives outside, people who cannot drive because of DUIs, those too poor to own cars or fly, all strangers “connected by the simple need to get somewhere.” But where there were once bus stations with maps and schedules, there are now pick-up stops divined only by an ...

It’s been a whirlwind two years since Aidan O’Toole scored a record deal and landed a single on the radio. But after nonstop touring and pressure from the label to write a catchier, less “sad bastard” album, Aidan feels little inspiration to write another love song, especially when the muse behind his breakout tune wants nothing to do with him. Aidan and his ex-girlfriend, Cielo “Lo” Valdez, ended on rocky terms when he became famous, but no one can deny that all his lyrics are about her. At the time, Lo had just arrived in Ireland from Texas to attend medical school, and going on a cross-country tour with Aidan would have derailed her degree. After battling cancer as a teen and dealing with an absentee father, Lo had no room in her life for the instability of life with a celebrity. Instead, she’s now content to avoid listening to the radio and leave Aidan in the past—except for the fact that they’re both in the same wedding party. As maid of honor and best man, they’re thrown headfir...

First, there’s David Erdogan, a tech firm CEO who’s content to go along with the whims of his AI boss, Big Al, even if it means putting up with blackmail and any other number of dehumanizing attacks on his agency. Then there’s Katie, the morally gray hacker who steals bots’ memories and sells them on the black market; her latest victim is connected to an enormous conspiracy surrounding a major terrorist attack on Silicon Valley, some years before the start of the narrative.

Ferreri’s rhyming text introduces readers to a bevy of mice who, in Bowers’ cartoon illustrations, look like they could be kin to Hanna-Barbera’s Jerry. They find a delectable spread of Yuletide goodies set out on a festive table, with nary a human in sight. The mice declare it a “mouse buffet” and, deciding that this must be their “lucky day,” tuck in with relish. “Pies and pastries! Where to start? / Let’s dig into this apple tart! / Dip the ladle. Slurp the punch. / Candy canes! Crunchity crunch.” While the singsong cadence falters a bit, the slapstick humor in the pictures will support readers’ engagement when the mice’s exuberant enjoyment of a gingerbread house and a bunch of grapes causes food items to fall from the table and disturb a resting cat.
