The Forget-Me-Not Summer
This charming story about three California sisters spending the summer on Cape Cod is perfect for fans of The Penderwicks-as a starred ALA Booklist review raved-and The Mother-Daughter Book Club. Though Marigold, Zinnia, and Lily Silver couldn't be more different, they're all excited about summer vacation. Twelve-year-old Marigold is hoping to get her first kiss from her big crush, while Zinnia, eleven, will most likely spend her time in Marigold's shadow. And five-year-old Lily, though angelic, has a knack for stirring up mischief wherever she goes. But all of their plans come crashing down when the sisters' parents send them to Cape Cod to visit their Aunt Sunny. Small-town life is not what these LA girls had in mind. They must adjust, however, to things like sharing a room and living without a TV.

AI and the Future of Democracy
This comprehensive volume examines how artificial intelligence (AI) can either strengthen or undermine democratic society. It introduces groundbreaking frameworks including “AI-Enhanced Reflexive Control” (AIRC), and categorizes vulnerable democracies into three types — underdeveloped, strained, and stressed — each of which facing unique AI-related challenges. Drawing on extensive case studies including Romania’s 2024 election annulment, Bulgaria’s disinformation networks, and democratic innovations in Kenya and the Philippines, contributors analyze AI’s impact across electoral processes, legal systems, and public discourse. The book systematically examines five critical categories of unethical AI applications — disinformation, electoral interference, human rights manipulation, cultural exploitation, and privacy invasion — while exploring AI’s potential as a democratic equalizer. Featuring accessible introductions to AI topics, real-world case studies, and actionable policy
