Titans

Veronica Scott

A young girl rides in a mechanical horse race to save her family in this action-packed “mind-blowingly intense” tale (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). 
 
Ever since the Titans appeared in her Detroit neighborhood, Astrid Sullivan’s world has revolved around the mechanical horses. It’s not just the thrill of the race. It’s the engineering of the horses themselves and the way they’re programmed to seem so lifelike. The Titans are everything that fascinates Astrid, and nothing she’ll ever touch. 
 
She hates them a little, too. Her dad lost everything betting on the Titans. And the races are a reminder of the gap between the rich jockeys who can afford the expensive machines and the working-class friends and neighbors of Astrid’s who wager on them. 
 
But when Astrid’s offered a chance to enter an early model Titan in this year’s derby, well, she decides to risk it all. Because for a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, it’s more than a chance at fame or money. Betting on herself is the only way she can see to hang on to everyone in the world she cares about. 
 
Praise for Titans 
 
“Right from the start, Scott commands attention with a simple yet compelling premise, which tackles topics of privilege and class as it entertains. Cinematic, but with real heart at its core, it’s a thrilling SF update to the classic ‘girl and her horse’ tale.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review 
 
“Scott balances excitement, tension, risk, and athleticism successfully.” —Bulletin, starred review 
 
“The refreshing lack of romantic subplot allows for greater focus on Astrid’s goals, as well as her relationship with family and friends, and the end result is a solid, exciting story about a determined girl faced with difficult circumstances.” —Booklist

A Pink Stocking

Anton Chekhov

The sky was totally covered with heavy clouds - it was a cold rainy day. Pavel Petrovitch Somov was annoyed by this weather. His room was dark and cold and the tears of rain on the window made him depressed. He was bored because he hadn't any entertainment or any affair. His wife was sitting at the table and was writing something. Madame Somov was a pretty lady in a light blouse and pink stockings. Pavel Petrovitch asked: " Lidotchka, what are you writing?" She told that she was writing a letter to her sister Varya. After that Pavel Petrovitch asked her to let him read the letter because he was bored. Lidotchka told him that that this letter wouldn't interest him but if he really wanted to read it he could take the letter. Somov took the written pages and began reading. After the first page his face lengthened and an expression of something almost like panic came into it. What was the matter with him?
