Book Description
When I looked up, I shivered. How many stars were in the sky? A million? A billion? Maybe the number was as big as infinity. I started to feel very, very small. How could I even think about something as big as infinity? Uma can't help feeling small when she peers up at the night sky. She begins to wonder about infinity. Is infinity a number that grows forever? Is it an endless racetrack? Could infinity be in an ice cream cone? Uma soon finds that the ways to think about this big idea may just be . . . infinite.

The Boy Who Dreamed of Infinity: A Tale of the Genius Ramanujan
Author: Amy Alznauer
Publisher: Candlewick
ISBN: 0763690481
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 49
Book Description
A young mathematical genius from India searches for the secrets hidden inside numbers — and for someone who understands him — in this gorgeous picture-book biography. A mango . . . is just one thing. But if I chop it in two, then chop the half in two, and keep on chopping, I get more and more bits, on and on, endlessly, to an infinity I could never ever reach. In 1887 in India, a boy named Ramanujan is born with a passion for numbers. He sees numbers in the squares of light pricking his thatched roof and in the beasts dancing on the temple tower. He writes mathematics with his finger in the sand, across the pages of his notebooks, and with chalk on the temple floor. “What is small?” he wonders. “What is big?” Head in the clouds, Ramanujan struggles in school — but his mother knows that her son and his ideas have a purpose. As he grows up, Ramanujan reinvents much of modern mathematics, but where in the world could he find someone to understand what he has conceived? Author Amy Alznauer gently introduces young readers to math concepts while Daniel Miyares’s illustrations bring the wonder of Ramanujan’s world to life in the inspiring real-life story of a boy who changed mathematics and science forever. Back matter includes a bibliography and an author’s note recounting more of Ramanujan’s life and accomplishments, as well as the author’s father’s remarkable discovery of Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook.

Book Description
“Masterful and left me on the edge of my seat…absolutely everything I could want in a sci-fi.” —Adalyn Grace, New York Times bestselling author of All the Stars and Teeth Westworld meets Warcross in this high-stakes, dizzyingly smart sci-fi about a teen girl navigating an afterlife in which she must defeat an AI entity intent on destroying humanity, from award-winning author Akemi Dawn Bowman. Eighteen-year-old Nami Miyamoto is certain her life is just beginning. She has a great family, just graduated high school, and is on her way to a party where her entire class is waiting for her—including, most importantly, the boy she’s been in love with for years. The only problem? She’s murdered before she gets there. When Nami wakes up, she learns she’s in a place called Infinity, where human consciousness goes when physical bodies die. She quickly discovers that Ophelia, a virtual assistant widely used by humans on Earth, has taken over the afterlife and is now posing as a queen, forcing humans into servitude the way she’d been forced to serve in the real world. Even worse, Ophelia is inching closer and closer to accomplishing her grand plans of eradicating human existence once and for all. As Nami works with a team of rebels to bring down Ophelia and save the humans under her imprisonment, she is forced to reckon with her past, her future, and what it is that truly makes us human. From award-winning author Akemi Dawn Bowman comes an incisive, action-packed tale that explores big questions about technology, grief, love, and humanity.

Book Description
The Infinite Child is a history related to friendship and the recklessness of youth. The story is about a couple of friends, Avelino and Artemio, who one day it occurred to them to go to the mountains to collect mushrooms for dinner. But like all inexperienced and impulsive young people. It was easy for them to enter the foothills of a mountain believing that they would spend a fun afternoon where the main dish was a mushroom soup they collected themselves. But since most of the time things never go as planned, it turned out that these two friends arrived at the place where they used to find mushrooms, the bad thing was that there were still no mushrooms that they knew about. So, they went deeper and deeper into the mountain searching, until they reached a place where they not only found mushrooms that they knew about, but they also found other types of mushrooms that looked like magic mushrooms because they were very pretty colors. For a moment they felt like they were in a fairy tale. Then it became easy for them to cut various types of mushrooms to take them and ask someone what type of mushrooms they were, but suddenly they realized that night was already close and they wanted to return home, but when they got up, they realized that they didn't know. where they were and began to run to get out of the mountain. But these deluded people, instead of running to get out of the mountain, they ran in the opposite direction, going deeper into the depths of the mountain. Seeing themselves lost and without food and with the night upon them, they have no choice but to stay in one place and wait for the night to pass and then continue looking for their way back home.

In one particularly vivid hallucination, Alicia is drawn to a boy her own age named Jax who’s trapped in a dying universe. Days later, her long-lost father shows up at her birthday party, telling her that the hallucinations aren’t hallucinations, but real worlds; she and Jax are bound by a strange past and intertwining present. This leads her on a journey to find out who she is while trying to save the people and worlds she loves. J.Q. Coyle’s The Infinity of You & Me is a wild ride through unruly hearts and vivid worlds guaranteed to captivate.
