Re-join the Plummers, who adopted and raised "Peep-sight" the Gambel's quail rooster of A Quail in the Family. In this second book, William Plummer describes the family's adventures with birds, rodents, snakes, lizards, and other animals-the visiting and resident members of the Plummer menagerie in Las Vegas. We learn of the rescue of "Beverly" the Desert Tortoise from the Nevada Nuclear Test Site; playing "dogfish" with "Georgia" the beagle; "Squeaky", a kangaroo rat who occasionally left his open cage to make nocturnal household explorations, and "Ellery" the caiman-who resided for a time in his own backyard pool. And we first meet "Carrie", "Rose", "Red-Leg", "Pearl", and "Brownie", the five charming female quail whose complete tale is told in the book Five of a Kind.

Marcine is fascinated with the Japanese theory of Sanpaku. It states that seeing the white around the iris of one’s eyes is a bad omen. But it’s everywhere Marcine looks—her grandmother has it, some of her classmates at Catholic school have it, JFK had it . . . even Marcine might suffer from this odd condition. It’s believed that eating a strict macrobiotic diet and meditating is supposed to help, but no matter how much Marcine wants it to, these practices can’t save her grandmother, or bring back pop star Selena, or make her life at school any easier . . .! From critically acclaimed cartoonist Kate Gavino (Last Night’s Reading), Sanpaku gives voice to the insecurities that abound in teens of all cultures.

In Aimee Ogden's Sun-Daughters, Sea-Daughters, one woman will travel to the stars and beyond to save her beloved in this lyrical space opera that reimagines The Little Mermaid. Gene-edited human clans have scattered throughout the galaxy, adapting themselves to environments as severe as the desert and the sea. Atuale, the daughter of a Sea-Clan lord, sparked a war by choosing her land-dwelling love and rejecting her place among her people. Now her husband and his clan are dying of a virulent plague, and Atuale’s sole hope for finding a cure is to travel off-planet. The one person she can turn to for help is the black-market mercenary known as the World Witch—and Atuale’s former lover. Time, politics, bureaucracy, and her own conflicted desires stand between Atuale and the hope for her adopted clan. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Speculative fiction often shows the complicated and rather fraught history of medicine as it relates to black women. Through prominent writers like Octavia Butler, Nnedi Okorafor, and Nalo Hopkinson, Jones highlights how personal experiences of illness and disease frequently reflect larger societal sicknesses in connection to race and gender.
