But it's far from over. Having passed his initial assessment, Mateo has been assigned to learn the craft of the Dark Wing, the information gathering branch of the Iron Wing Army. But it quickly becomes apparent that Dark Wing does a lot more than gather information when he is sent to infiltrate an enemy city to pave the way for a surprise attack.

Yet no matter how adept he becomes, it is impossible to avoid being drawn into the maelstrom that surrounds the ambitious imperial family, leaving Mateo with no choice but to commit himself to supporting the young Fifth Prince. Together with his friends and his spirit bond, Corvus, Mateo will continue to uncover the truth about the world, the mysterious Solomon order, and the treacherous path his master planned for him.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3469925</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3469925</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ring, Seth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3469925133</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>A Fantasy LitRPG Adventure</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781666691375/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Healing Skies]]></title><description><![CDATA[Oathbound to the fifth prince of the empire, Mateo and his friends head north.

For twelve-year-old Michael Rosario, life at Fox Run Apartments in Red Knot, Delaware, is as ordinary as ever-except for the looming Y2K crisis and his overwhelming crush on his fifteen-year-old babysitter, Gibby. But when a disoriented teenage boy named Ridge appears out of nowhere, Michael discovers there is more to life than stockpiling supplies and pining over Gibby. It turns out that Ridge is carefree, confident, and bold, things Michael wishes he could be. Unlike Michael, however, Ridge isn't where he belongs. When Ridge reveals that he's the world's first-time traveler, Michael and Gibby are stunned but curious. As Ridge immerses himself in 1999-fascinated by microwaves, basketballs, and malls-Michael discovers that his new friend has a book that outlines the events of the next twenty years, and his curiosity morphs into something else: focused determination. Michael wants-no, needs-to get his hands on that book. How else can he prepare for the future? But how far is he willing to go to get it? A story of time travel, friendship, found family, and first loves, this thematically rich novel is distinguished by its voice, character development, setting, and exploration of the issues that resonate with middle grade readers.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3431975</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3431975</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kelly, Erin Entrada]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3431975133</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063337343/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diary of A Wimpy Kid: Hot Mess]]></title><description><![CDATA[Get ready for the most hilarious Wimpy Kid book yet!

Filipino-American bounty hunter Domingo has made a career of catching criminal undocumented immigrants. He's the best in the business-and it isn't lost on him that he's so good because of his similarities to his targets. Despite Domingo's claims that he is unsympathetic to their plight, yet spends his spare moments on stakeouts and in between jobs writing a book of advice for aspiring immigrants. Brash, funny, and candid, he compiles the names of all the people he's apprehended, documenting the hazards of his profession, and imparting advice to foreigners who dare to dream of life in America. Domingo's latest job is finding biracial Filipino woman Monica Reed-for the third time. Monica is the only fugitive who has ever escaped him, and the only one he's ever released, against orders. As he embarks on a third and final hunt for her, Domingo uncovers a dangerous truth that Monica was determined to publicize-even though it put her life in danger. And as he chases her around the country, despite his agreement to arrest people like Monica, Domingo finds himself taking her side. Flushing out immigrants whose biggest crime was clinging to the American Dream pales in comparison to getting justice for a woman who he discovers was living in the shadows, but was only ever searching for the truth. Full of action and humor, MULTO is also a meditation on what it means to be unwelcome and unwanted in a country you love and the sacrifices such love requires.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3275780</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3275780</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fazzi, Cindy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3275780133</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781669661924/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intergalactic Rookie]]></title><description><![CDATA[Fight fantasy monsters in epic tournaments, gain fame in colosseums across the galaxy, cross swords with blademasters, chainsaw-wielding cyborgs, and...Pee-wee Herman? In 2488, Battle Quest, an arrow shooting, sword fighting, magic slinging live-action RPG, is the most popular sport in the universe. Tal works in a trash dump by day and fights in a street samurai pit by night. He dreams of becoming a Battle Quest pro to pull his sisters and grandmother from the slums. Problem is he's too short, too broke, and his highlight vid-reel has more fails than an ogre's got warts. Hilde steamrolls the amateur circuits. She goes-off planet to join a minor league team only to discover they're better equipped for butt-shaking than sword-swinging. When Hilde's humiliating match goes galactic viral, and when Tal becomes a washed-up agent's last hope, they both get their big breaks-rookie free agent tryouts at the Cyrus Supernovas training camp. To make the team they'll need unorthodox training. They'll need to avoid death by lava troll.

Not Too Late brings strong climate voices from around the world to address the political, scientific, social, and emotional dimensions of the most urgent issue human beings have ever faced. Accessible, encouraging, and engaging, it's an invitation to everyone to understand the issue more deeply, participate more boldly, and imagine the future more creatively.  In concise, illuminating essays and interviews, this book features the voices of Indigenous activists, such as Guam-based attorney and writer Julian Aguon; climate scientists, among them Jacquelyn Gill and Edward Carr; artists, such as Marshall Islands poet and activist Kathy Jeñtil-Kijiner; and longtime organizers, including The Tyranny of Oil author Antonia Juhasz and Emergent Strategy author adrienne maree brown.  Shaped by the clear-eyed wisdom of editors Rebecca Solnit and Thelma Young Lutunatabua, Not Too Late is a guide to take us from climate crisis to climate hope.  Contributors include Julian Aguon, Jade Begay, adrienne maree brown, Edward Carr, Renato Redantor Constantino, Joelle Gergis, Jacquelyn Gill, Mary Annaise Heglar, Mary Anne Hitt, Roshi Joan Halifax, Nikayla Jefferson, Antonia Juhasz, Kathy Jetnil Kijiner, Fenton Lutunatabua & Joseph ̀Sikulu, Yotam Marom, Denali Nalamalapu, Leah Stokes, Farhana Sultana, and Gloria Walton.  "An inspiring guidebook...A book that provides some brightness, passion, and intelligence in dark times."  "Absolutely beautiful, absolutely necessary, and absolutely right! Two of our greatest climate voices have rounded up many more realistic and determined colleagues who help us see the path ahead much more clearly!"  "Not Too Late is the exact message we need today...Grab this book, read up, and let's get to work."  "These authors show us what's possible...a world where we stop climate change, restore nature, improve human wellbeing, address long-standing problems of equity and justice, and leave our descendants a world we can be proud of."  "Giving up on humanity by giving up on solving the climate crisis is not an option. This book uniquely provides strategic direction on how we can create the future we need, the future we all want. It also gives us the imaginative and emotional prowess to strengthen our courage and creativity along the way."]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3309039</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3309039</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Various Authors]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3309039133</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798212386982/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fire Prayers]]></title><description><![CDATA[Christians have an enemy who will do everything in his power to alter, edit, stop, delay, andabort their God-given destiny.
