the princess and the moon: a fairy tale
By T. James Belich
Princess Lizzy wants to break all the rules and become a knight, and on her 16th birthday she becomes one, only to discover she is not the first female knight, but the ninety-sixth. Undeterred from her desire to do the impossible, she resolves to complete her next quest: to go to the moon! But the journey becomes complicated. When Magic Medallions, miniscule dragons, and a storyteller who suddenly turns evil villain complicate the journey, what began as an ordinary fairytale takes everyone on a journey filled with danger, sacrifice, and no promises of “happily ever after.”

The Panic Broadcast of 1938
By Michael Druce
In 1938 on Halloween, Orson Wells famously broadcast H.G. Wells The War of the Worlds in which aliens invade New Jersey. Thousands of people believed the broadcast to be true. The Panic Broadcast of 1938 delivers a delightful look at how easily Americans can be deceived and how simple life in a small town can be up-ended by “fake” news.
