本書以《Princess and the Pea》為靈感，翻轉經典童話中「過度敏感」的公主形象，帶來一則幽默又帶點當代氣息的愛情故事。Prince Henrik 一心想找到一位與兄長王妃截然不同的伴侶——不嬌弱、不怕苦，最好熱愛戶外活動。於是，他將傳統的豌豆測試改成更「實際」的方法：把一整包冷凍豌豆塞進露營用的薄墊下，考驗前來求婚的公主們。結果，多數公主紛紛抱怨不適，直到 Henrik 的老朋友 Pippa 意外登場。她自在地搭帳篷、打曲棍球，甚至還能巧妙運用那包冷凍豌豆，展現出截然不同的生活態度。故事在輕快節奏中，傳達對多元氣質與真實自我的欣賞。插畫以拼貼、水粉與鉛筆線條構成，比例誇張、風格俏皮，為故事增添獨立電影般的幽默感。本書適合喜歡顛覆童話、欣賞不一樣公主形象的讀者。*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" data-turn="assistant" data-scroll-anchor="true" data-testid="conversation-turn-60" data-turn-id="e03a0c23-03b5-42ec-b40a-1510b5e00568">In this playful, contemporary twist on The Princess and the Pea, Prince Henrik decides that traditional princesses are simply too sensitive for his taste.

History and STEAM combine for an edge-of-your-seat read about the Great Blondin, who took a dangerous tightrope walk across Niagara Falls in 1859.At the age of four, Jean-Francois Gravelet walked across his first balance beam. Later, he took to the tightrope like a spider to its web, and with his family troupe, he climbed toward stardom. Though his feats became more and more marvelous, he grew bored.

To cross the raging river, The Great Blondin needed an engineering process, determination, and a belief that what he could imagine, he could accomplish. And in 1859, with all of his preparation complete, Blondin stepped out onto the most dangerous tightrope walk he’d ever faced.

A high school senior navigates messy boys and messier relationships in this bitingly funny and much-needed look into the overlap of Asian American identity and teen sexuality. June Chu is the "just good enough" girl. Good enough to line the shelves with a slew of third-place trophies and steal secret kisses from her AP Bio partner, Rhys. But not good enough to meet literally any of her Taiwanese mother's unrelenting expectations or to get Rhys to commit to anything beyond a well-timed joke. While June's mother insists she follow in her (perfect) sister's footsteps and get a (full-ride) violin scholarship to Northwestern (to study pre-med), June doesn't see the point in trying too hard if she's destined to fall short anyway. Instead, she focuses her efforts on making her relationship with Rhys "official." But after her methodically-planned, tipsily-executed scheme explodes on the level of a nuclear disaster, she flings herself into a new relationship with a guy who's not allergic to the
