Dragons in the Clouds by David Blair is a delightful middle-grade fantasy novella that sparks wonder and adventure for young readers. Told as a charming bedtime story a father shares with his daughter, the tale creatively reimagines the origins of thunder and lightning through the secret lives of dragons hidden in the clouds above the Kingdom of Albion. When a king orders the destruction of all dragons, the wise wizard Merlinius protects a family of gentle, plant-eating dragons with a magical spell of weightlessness. Their fiery breath becomes lightning and their roars become thunder as they soar safely among the clouds. A young boy named David and his loyal dragon friend Rago are drawn into an exciting clash involving friendship, courage, and the struggle between good and ambitious forces. The premise is inventive and heartwarming, blending Arthurian-inspired elements with themes of loyalty, seeing beyond appearances, and the magic that can hide in everyday storms. It’s a quick, engaging read ideal for ages 8–12 (and nostalgic adults who still love dragons), full of imagination that leaves readers looking up at the sky with a smile. Reviewers have praised its exciting pace, appealing characters, and ability to make fantasy feel accessible and fun. @Davidblr777 - Amazon: https://t.co/Euef1c4Sob https://t.co/ff3YbxxfIy (supports independent bookstores): https://t.co/xZnBDMFq0c - Apple Books: https://t.co/4zmA1B6wZz Also available at Waterstones, Barnes & Noble, and other retailers (search the title + author for current editions and formats).

To the reader who inherited Madison the Constitution-maker—and wants the man who also knew how to draft a framework, survive a partisan fight, and keep the republic intact — this is for you. James Madison: A Life Reconsidered by Lynne Cheney New York Times–bestselling author. Historian and former chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Gordon S. Wood called it “probably the best single-volume biography of Madison that we now have.” Cheney’s Madison is not only the architect of the Constitution. He is the politician and president: a man of vaunted modesty who still understood power and human nature well enough to shape a government, marshal ideas, learn from experience, and prevail. Philosophers think; politicians maneuver. Madison’s gift was that he could do both at once. That, for Cheney, is the work of founding a nation. The book gives the personal Madison—health struggles, family, Dolley, Montpelier, science, and close friendship with Jefferson—and the public one: the Constitutional Convention, the Federalist Papers, the Bill of Rights, the Louisiana Purchase, the War of 1812, partisan conflict, and the test of whether a republic could defend itself and remain a republic still. Drawn from extensive research into Madison’s life and times.

To the reader who inherited the bearded laureate—and wants the young man who also knew how to wrestle with deep time, survive a crisis of belief, and give a generation its voice — this is for you. The Boundless Deep: Young Tennyson, Science and the Crisis of Belief by Richard Holmes Critically acclaimed author of *The Age of Wonder*. Shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize. A New York Times Best Book of the Year So Far. “[Holmes is a] master scholar-biographer. . . . In prose so lucid that you barely notice when it has slipped into a stream of profound interiority, into the hidden life-current of his subject, Holmes gives us what feels like the whole man.” —The Atlantic “There is no better literary biographer now writing than Richard Holmes.” —The Wall Street Journal Holmes’s Tennyson is not only the author of *In Memoriam* and “The Charge of the Light Brigade.” He is the magnetic, mercurial young poet: a secretly expressive and highly emotional man haunted by the great intellectual and scientific issues of his time. Philosophers think; scientists measure. Tennyson’s gift was that he could do both in verse. That, for Holmes, is how a poet becomes the voice of an age of wonder and terror. The book gives the personal Tennyson—dysfunctional Lincolnshire family, drunken father, vivid friendships, unhappy loves, the death of Arthur Hallam—and the public one: the revolutionary discoveries in biology, astronomy, geology, and marine science that forced a generation to confront evolution, a godless universe, planetary extinction, and the tension between religion and science. Drawn from the poet’s early years and the intellectual currents that shaped him.
