Bewilderment : a novel / by Powers, Richard,1957-author.;
"A heartrending new novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning and #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Overstory. "Richard Powers, whose novels combine the wonders of science with the marvels of art, astonishes us in different ways with each new book." -Heller McAlpin, NPR Books. The astrobiologist Theo Byrne searches for life throughout the cosmos while single-handedly raising his unusual nine-year-old, Robin, following the death of his wife. Robin is a warm, kind boy who spends hours painting elaborate pictures of endangered animals. He's also about to be expelled from third grade for smashing his friend in the face. As his son grows more troubled, Theo hopes to keep him off psychoactive drugs. He learns of an experimental neurofeedback treatment tobolster Robin's emotional control, one that involves training the boy on the recorded patterns of his mother's brain ... With its soaring descriptions of the natural world, its tantalizing vision of life beyond, and its account of a father and son's ferocious love, Bewilderment marks Richard Powers's most intimate and moving novel. At its heart lies the question: How can we tell our children the truth about this beautiful, imperiled planet?"--

Read by Zak Morgan.An inquisitive bear ventures into People Town, where he makes quite the curious discovery. What is this? A springy thing-a bouncy thing-a sit-on-it, jump-on-it thing! It's a bit too cumbersome to bring back to the woods, however, so Bear runs home to tell his friends. But none of his friends are willing to help, so Bear invents a "Rolly-Rumpity" to wheel home the "Thingity-Jig." Through trial and error-and lots of shooing away from sleepy friends-Bear finally wheels the "Thingity-Jig" home to the woods, where he graciously shares his find. Reading specialist and former educator Kathy Doherty blends upcycling and STEAM with a delightful story and wordplay in this charismatic picture book that's ideal for read alouds. Illustrator Kristyna Litten brings the charming world to life with detailed, imaginative art and characters.

In "The Curse of the Applewhites," Nate helps his friend Chad break an ancient family hex through the fine art of figureskating. And in "The Ghostly Coven of Man Witches," Nate, Dee Dee, Teddy, Francis, and Gina explore the haunted hallways of P.S. 38 to get to uncover a sinister mystery--and postpone a pesky test"--
