The Quest Family is legendary for how far they’ll go in the spirit of exploration and discovery — but their latest mission is literally out of this world! Jonny and the gang are brought in to investigate a mysterious, potentially extraterrestrial spacecraft that has been found by the government and brought to Area 51. Of course, where there’s spaceships, there’s bound to be aliens, right? But what Team Quest finds in this particular UFO is a far cry from the usual little gray men — and it’s under the jurisdiction of a (literally) higher power: Space Ghost! So what happens when the Defender of the Spaceways and the world’s most famous boy adventurer cross paths? The greatest entertainment event of the 21st century, that’s what — all effortlessly executed by Jonny Quest’s acclaimed creative team of author JOE CASEY and illustrator SEBASTIÁN PIRIZ!

Edith and John: A story of Pittsburgh captures industrial life through a lens of tension between ambition and social structure in a rain-soaked city shaped by smoke and labor. The narrative highlights how environment and class dictate interactions, framing urban space as both oppressive and revealing. Status informs connection, yet unexpected moments like shared discomfort or sudden kindness disrupt these divisions. The novel uses the city s atmosphere to mirror the emotional weight of survival, showing how ambition is tempered by external limitations. Within the monotony and hardship, personal grace emerges as a quiet act of resistance. Chance encounters serve as windows into larger questions of vulnerability, identity, and determination. Instead of relying on plot twists, the story reveals its insights through small shifts in perception and understated exchanges that emphasize empathy and dignity. Beneath the daily grind lies a reflection on the endurance needed to carve out meaning in an unequal world. Modest actions become powerful as they illustrate resilience and the understated potential for connection in an often indifferent setting.

Valentino Garavani – VENUS – Joana Vasconcelos
Pamela Golbin; Joana Vasconcelos
Cura Publishing
2026
sidottu
"This book is published in conjunction with VENUS, Joana Vasconcelos’s exhibition at PM23 (18 January – 31 May, 2026) and in selected public sites across Rome, developed in dialogue with the work and legacy of Valentino Garavani and produced by the Fondazione Valentino Garavani e Giancarlo Giammetti. Conceived as a philanthropic foundation dedicated to education, culture, and social engagement, the Fondazione frames the project not only as an exhibition but as a platform in which art, fashion, and civic participation converge. VENUS approaches Valentino’s work as a material and conceptual archive. Its forms, colors, and techniques are translated into large-scale sculptures and spatial environments that extend fashion into the domain of installation and public space. At the center of the project stands Valkyrie Venus, a monumental figure assembled from thousands of crocheted and textile modules produced through a wide participatory network involving schools, hospitals, refugee shelters, women’s shelters and prisons. The book documents both this collective process and the finished work, presenting craft as a social practice grounded in care, repetition, and shared labor. Edited by Pamela Golbin, with texts by Pamela Golbin, Anna Coliva, Giulia Silvia Ghia, Daniele Luchetti, and Lucia Milazzotto, the volume combines critical essays, visual documentation, and narrative materials that situate Vasconcelos’s work within the historical and symbolic landscape of Rome and within broader reflections on ornament, the baroque, and the politics of display. A special project by Daniele Luchetti, developed specifically for the book, extends the exhibition into a parallel cinematic and testimonial dimension, recording the voices and experiences of the communities involved and anchoring the project in a social reality."

A READ WITH JENNA TODAY SHOW BOOK CLUB PICK - A heartbreaking, empowering, often hilarious debut memoir about a mother's all-consuming love, a son's perilous quest to discover the world beyond the front door and the unregulated homeschool system that impacts millions like him *A Top 10 Amazon Book of the Month Pick* *A Washington Post Book to Read in January * *A Library Journal BigBook of the Week * *A BookRiot Best New Nonfiction of January * Stefan Merrill Block was nine when his mother pulled him from school, certain that his teachers were "stifling his creativity." Hungry for more time with her boy who was growing up too quickly, she began to instruct Stefan in the family's living room. Beyond his formal lessons in math, however, Stefan was largely left to his own devices and his mother's erratic whims, such as her project to recapture her twelve-year-old son's early years by bleaching his hair and putting him on a crawling regimen. Years before homeschooling would become a massive nationwide movement, at a time when it had just become legal in his home state of Texas, Stefan vanished into that unseen space and into his mother's increasingly eccentric theories and projects. But when, after five years away from the outside world, Stefan reentered the public school system in Plano as a freshman, he was in for a jarring awakening. At once a novelistic portrait of mother and son, and an illuminating window into an overlooked corner of the American education system, Homeschooled is a moving, funny and ultimately inspiring story of a son's battle for a life of his own choosing, and the wages of a mother's insatiable love. Praise for Homeschooled "One of the most beautiful books I've ever read."--Jenna Bush Hager "Absorbing."--Washington Post "A revealing and deeply empathetic portrait of a complex relationship between mother and son." -BookPage, starred review "Astonishing."--The New York Post "Clearly told with the steadiness of a masterful writer."--Isaac Fitzgerald

The riveting history of a beautiful queen, a shocking murder, a papal trial -- and a reign as triumphant as any in the Middle Ages. On March 15, 1348, twenty-two-year-old Joanna I, Queen of Naples, stood trial for the murder of her husband before the Pope and his court in Avignon. Determined to defend herself, Joanna won her acquittal against overwhelming odds. Victorious, she returned to Naples and ruled over one of Europe's most prestigious courts for the next three decades -- until she herself was killed. Courageous and determined, Joanna was the only female monarch in her time to rule in her own name. She was widely admired: dedicated to the welfare of her subjects, she reduced crime, built hospitals and churches, and encouraged the licensing of female physicians. A procession of the most important artists and writers of the time frequented her glittering court. But she never quite escaped the stain of her husband's death, and the turmoil of the times surrounded her -- war, plague, and treachery would ultimately be her undoing. With skill, passion, and impeccable research and detail, Nancy Goldstone brings to life one of history's most remarkable women. The Lady Queen is a captivating portrait of medieval royalty in all its incandescent complexity.

A NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - The moving story of an undocumented child living in poverty in the richest country in the world--an incandescent debut from an astonishing new talent - A TODAY SHOW #READWITHJENNA PICK In Chinese, the word for America, Mei Guo, translates directly to "beautiful country." Yet when seven-year-old Qian arrives in New York City in 1994 full of curiosity, she is overwhelmed by crushing fear and scarcity. In China, Qian's parents were professors; in America, her family is "illegal" and it will require all the determination and small joys they can muster to survive. In Chinatown, Qian's parents labor in sweatshops. Instead of laughing at her jokes, they fight constantly, taking out the stress of their new life on one another. Shunned by her classmates and teachers for her limited English, Qian takes refuge in the library and masters the language through books, coming to think of The Berenstain Bears as her first American friends. And where there is delight to be found, Qian relishes it: her first bite of gloriously greasy pizza, weekly "shopping days," when Qian finds small treasures in the trash lining Brooklyn's streets, and a magical Christmas visit to Rockefeller Center--confirmation that the New York City she saw in movies does exist after all. But then Qian's headstrong Ma Ma collapses, revealing an illness that she has kept secret for months for fear of the cost and scrutiny of a doctor's visit. As Ba Ba retreats further inward, Qian has little to hold onto beyond his constant refrain: Whatever happens, say that you were born here, that you've always lived here. Inhabiting her childhood perspective with exquisite lyric clarity and unforgettable charm and strength, Qian Julie Wang has penned an essential American story about a family fracturing under the weight of invisibility, and a girl coming of age in the shadows, who never stops seeking the light.
