“Explodes into a wild fantasy adventure. . . . Cody has begun what promises to be an epic trilogy.” —Adam Gidwitz, New York Times bestselling author of A Tale Dark and Grimm It is said that in the thirteenth century, in a town called Hamelin, a piper lured all of the children away with his magical flute, and none of them were ever seen again. Today, tough, pink-haired Max and her little brother, Carter, are stuck in modern-day Hamelin with their father . . . until they are also led away by the Piper to a place called the Summer Isle. There they meet the original stolen children, who haven’t aged a day and who have formed their own town, vigilantly guarded from the many nightmarish beings that roam the land. No one knows why the Piper stole them, but Max and Carter may be the key to returning the lost children of Hamelin. Together they set out on the Peddler’s Road to find their way back to the real world. This swashbuckling journey is perfect for fans of Rump and A Tale Dark and Grimm.

“A fantastic story, thrillingly told. This book has a superpower—you can’t put it down.” —Jonathan Stroud, author of the bestselling Bartimaeus Trilogy The truth about the Super children—who have real powers like flight and super strength—is finally exposed, and the town of Noble’s Green has created a special boarding school for its superpowered children. That’s where all Daniel’s friends are headed, while he—regular kid that he is—is headed to summer school. But all is not well at the Academy for the Extraordinarily Gifted. A clique of popular kids (led by a pair of sinister twins) has taken over the school, and once again, it’s powerless Daniel who may be able to stop them. To do so, he will have to turn to his sworn enemy, the Shroud, for help.

"Soundings from an Empty Sea" are mostly acrostics regarding human relationships. Most relationships have arguments and most of the arguments are over trivialities. Unfortunately, most of the arguments escalate way out of proportion. The poet believes if one in the relationship makes decisions, the amount of stress or distress goes down. Then the amount of peace and pleasure goes up. As with all relationships, they are personal. Finding your puzzle piece or allowing one another to be transformed to fit takes work, but more so trust.

The Dead Gentleman is a wild ride between parallel New York City timestreams—1901 and today.

But while investigating an attercop (man-eating spider) in the basement of an old hotel, Tommy is betrayed—and trapped. And it''s then that his world collides with that of modern-day Jezebel Lemon, who, until the day she decides to explore her building''s basement, had no bigger worries than homework and boys. Now, Jezebel and Tommy must thwart the Dead Gentleman, a legendary villain whose last unconquered world is our own planet Earth, a realm where the dead stay dead. Until now. Can two kids put an end to this ancient evil and his legions of Gravewalkers?

A superpowered sequel to Matthew Cody’s popular debut novel, Powerless! Daniel Corrigan is as regular as can be, especially when compared to the Supers: kids in his new hometown with actual powers like flight and super-strength. But Daniel’s not powerless. Only he was able to stop the Shroud, a supervillain bent on stealing his newfound friends’ powers. And thanks to him, his friends got to keep those powers. Now Daniel himself is starting to display powers, while at the same time his friends are losing theirs. His friend Eric thinks Daniel is just becoming a Super himself, a late-blooming one. But Daniel worries there may be something more sinister at work, since his power-stealing ability is uncomfortably like the Shroud’s. Of course, the Shroud is gone now . . . isn''t he? Or could Daniel himself be his new vessel?

Vibrational spectroscopy is one of the most powerful techniques in chemistry due to its ability to report direct information on the geometries and nuclear motions of complex molecules. At thermal equilibrium, rearrangements between different, or equivalent, molecular structures help to define the reactivity of the system. On the ultrafast timescale, these chemical exchange reactions may cause features in the vibrational spectrum to become averaged. The Bloch equations have been used previously to quantitatively predict the rates of such reactions. This approach has been quite successful in NMR spectroscopy where exchange on the microsecond timescale is often sufficient to cause peak coalescence. The application of the Bloch equations to IR spectroscopy has been debated due to the presence of other contributions to the vibrational lineshape that may prevent an accurate description of the relevant dynamics. Two dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D-IR) is a time resolved ultrafast technique that is capable of directly measuring the kinetics of chemical exchange at thermal equilibrium where there is no net change in the populations of reactants and products. This work examines two model systems that display dynamic IR peak coalescence. A group of mixed valence dimers of trinuclear ruthenium clusters have exhibited a wide range of IR coalescence that is sensitive to solvent, temperature, and ligand substitution. No electron exchange was observed by 2D-IR during the timescale required for peak coalescence. The two isomers of a square pyramidal ruthenium dithiolene compound also result in highly coalesced spectra. The equilibrium populations, as well as the extent of peak coalescence, are strongly dependent on temperature and solvent. The experimental results of this second project were largely inconconclusive; however, future work with density functional theory calculations looks promising for revealing more information on these dynamics. Ultimately, the application of the Bloch equations to IR spectra is not generally reliable. While this type of analysis may still yield accurate results in some special cases, it is very difficult to distinguish legitimate exchange induced coalescence from similar broadened lineshape features, and this approach should be avoided.

Superheroes soar in this promising debut—and they’re kids! Twelve-year-old Daniel, the new kid in town, soon learns the truth about his nice—but odd—new friends: one can fly, another can turn invisible, yet another controls electricity. Incredible. The superkids use their powers to secretly do good in the town, but they’re haunted by the fact that the moment they turn thirteen, their abilities will disappear—along with any memory that they ever had them. Is a memory-stealing supervillain sapping their powers? The answers lie in a long-ago meteor strike, a World War II–era comic book (Fantastic Futures, starring the first superhero, Johnny Noble), the green-flamed Witch Fire, a hidden Shroud cave, and—possibly, unbelievably—“powerless” regular-kid Daniel himself. Superhero kids meet comic book mystery in this action-filled debut about the true meaning of a hero.
