An action-packed YA contemporary fantasy debut that brings vibrant Malaysian folklore to life. For five years, Caroline Chua has lived in exile from her home and family in Malaysia at a magical academy in New York City--far enough away that she can't hurt the people she loves. That is until she is abruptly summoned home in an emergency--her beloved older brother, Aaron, who is next in line to become the Protector of the Island, has vanished. And now back in Penang, she can't help but notice that things don't feel the same as they once did and it's unclear if she's changed, or the island. Despite her family's desire to keep her close and the Council's explicit instructions to stay out of trouble, stubborn, self-sufficient Caroline is hell-bent on saving her brother with or without anyone's help. But when it turns out that Aaron has been kidnapped by vengeful ghosts with a centuries-old grudge, even Caroline must admit she's in over her head and will need the help of the friends she had

You can stock your life with important work, relationships, activities, and art, and yet, you can still ask: what's the point of it all? Almost every thinking person has had that question--many more than once. Granted, you're more likely to worry about the point of life when things are not going well, but you're also likely to still ask this question when you've finally received that promotion, achieved a goal, or raised your children--exactly when it seems like the question shouldn't arise. In The Meaning of It All, Rivka Weinberg argues this is because there are different kinds of meaning, and some of them, sadly, are impossible to achieve. She explains what they are, illuminates which types of meaning are possible, which are impossible, and shows us how we might orient our lives in light of these bittersweet truths. Although we all die in the end, Weinberg explains why death doesn't make life more or less meaningful. Instead, it is time that is necessary for meaning, even as it also
