Sophie and Scottie have returned home from their amazing adventure in Mexico. While helping to solve the mystery of the monarch butterflies, they'd met many strange creatures, as well as nice people such as Dr. Drake. So when the doctor shows up at the ranch with a mysterious envelope, the sisters almost fall over! Could their globetrotting Auntie Jill have sent another photograph to put in their magical frame to activate? Was another mysterious adventure about to begin? As the summer sun continues to climb over Shear Heaven Ranch, the girls excitedly open the envelope. Auntie Jill's instructions are very detailed. Do they really ride their horses through the frame?! Sophie and Scottie developed special talents in their last adventure. What new talents will now help them solve why the ocean currents are flowing strangely around a remote Pacific Island, where an otter can't resist shiny objects and a purple dolphin constantly blows bubbles? Sophie and Scottie once again use their trusty map, decision-making skills, and great team work, all with a dash of science, to help solve the island's "fishy" mystery!

**THIS BOOK IS A MOM'S CHOICE AWARD WINNER and a FAMILY CHOICE AWARD WINNER** It's finally summer at Shear Heaven Ranch, and Sophie and Scottie are looking forward to swimming in the cool ponds, climbing the huge oak trees, riding their horses, and taking care of their ewe, Fuzzy Mama. Scottie tells Sophie that she feels as if "something is going to happen to us," and says they should both be alert to things on their ranch that don't seem normal. So when Mr. Wilson delivers a special package from their globetrotting and eccentric Auntie Jill, they can't wait to open it! Inside is a magical, multicolor crystal frame with a letter attached explaining that this special gift will show them "many places." This mysterious present makes the girls wonder what the letter means and if an adventure is ahead. As night falls on Shear Heaven, the photo in the frame of the strangely familiar Rancho de La Joya hotel starts to move! Will Sophie and Scottie follow the call to adventure? Will they leap into the portal that will transport them thousands of miles away to solve a mystery in Mexico? And will they learn to rely on their instincts with a rather mischievous map that doesn't trust grownups? An enchanting story highlighting the beauty and balance of nature, the Mexican culture, and the bravery that girls can display, especially when they work together, Sophie and Scottie's Adventures of the Monarch Mystery will delight fans of magic and mystery of all ages. This engaging book is recommended for elementary school-aged readers ages 8-12.

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

A designer’s deep dive into seven science fiction films, filled with “gloriously esoteric nerdery [and] observations as witty as they are keen” (Wired). In Typeset in the Future, blogger and designer Dave Addey invites sci-fi movie fans on a journey through seven genre-defining classics, discovering how they create compelling visions of the future through typography and design. The book delves deep into 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Alien, Blade Runner, Total Recall, WALL·E, and Moon, studying the design tricks and inspirations that make each film transcend mere celluloid and become a believable reality. These studies are illustrated by film stills, concept art, type specimens, and ephemera, plus original interviews with Mike Okuda (Star Trek), Paul Verhoeven (Total Recall), and Ralph Eggleston and Craig Foster (Pixar). Typeset in the Future is an obsessively geeky study of how classic sci-fi movies draw us in to their imagined worlds.
