Daughter f the Merciful Deep by Leslye Penelpe
I was hked when I first saw the grgeus cver fr Daughter f the Merciful Deep by Leslye Penelpe. But the nvel’s premise put it at the tp f my summer reading list. Penelpe is knwn fr unfrgettable characters, wrld—building, beautiful writing and rbust Strytelling. Her latest wrk, inspired by actual events —the drwned Black twns f the American Suth —prmises a magical, mythical and pwerful tale f a yung wman’s quest t save her twn. A histrical fantasy must—read.

By the end f the year, mre than 50, 000 Muslims became refugees in their wn cuntry. The Lucky Ones is a unique bigraphy in English f this largest—ever massacre in independent India.

The result is a furius, prpulsive meditatin n wifehd, mtherhd and artistic ambitin. (July 23)—Kristen Martin

Selina Zhang, a high schler, has invented a trap that culd ptentially get rid f lanternflies in the city. She first nticed this pest in grade schl. At the time, Zhang was visiting a market near her hmetwn. The clrful bugs caught her eye, and she was intrigued as she had never seen a bug quite like it.

The summer reading seasn is here. Sme peple will pt fr paperbacks because they’re easy t brrw and share. Others will g fr e-readers. But which is the mre envirnmentally sustainable ptin?
Accrding t 2023 data frm the literary industry research grup Wrds Rated, when it cmes t pulp (纸浆) and paper, print bk publishing is the wrld’s third-largest industrial greenhuse gas prducer, and 32 millin trees are cut dwn each year in the United States t make paper fr bks.
S many publishers are switching t n-demand printing. Fr example, Chrnicle Bks, are reducing their initial print runs t see hw well the titles sell befre they print mre. “We felt that it was better t have a higher cst and have less waste,” said Chrnic le Bks president, Tyrrell Mahney.

“By chsing e-bks as an alternative t print, Kindle readers helped save an estimated 2.3 millin metric tns f carbn emissins ver a tw-year perid,” said Crey Badcck, head f Kindle prduct and marketing.
But digital devices als cme with a substantial carbn ftprint, mainly at the prducing stage. Their cases are made with fssil-fuel-derived plastics and the minerals in their batteries require resurce-heavy mining.
Berners-Lee, the authr f The Carbn Ftprint f Everything , said the average e-reader has a carbn ftprint f arund 80 punds. “This means that I’ve gt t read abut 36 small paperback bks-wrth n it befre yu break even,” he said.
“If yu buy an e-reader and yu read lads and lads f bks n it, then it’s the lwest carbn thing t d,” Berners-Lee said. “But if I buy it, read a cuple f bks, and decide that I prefer paperback bks, then it’s the wrst f all wrlds.”
