Seven-year-old Noa finds a cracked, curved old shofar in her grandmother's attic in Jerusalem — one that travelled from Morocco generations ago and has been silent ever since. Together they wander the late-summer alleys of the Old City searching for the last craftsman who still knows how to mend it, past pomegranate stalls and the smell of honey cake. When the shofar finally sounds, Noa understands that its call isn't only a noise — it's an invitation to begin again.

An illustrated science course for curious readers: eleven-year-old Zofia from Kraków chases one question — how fast can a human actually travel on the ground? — from horse-drawn carriages and steam locomotives to the jet-powered car that broke the sound barrier on land, and on to the new hydrogen-powered record cars of today. Each chapter unpacks one idea: friction, drag, thrust, the speed of sound, shock waves, fuel chemistry and why hydrogen changes the equation. It ends where every reader sits — with the physics of a bicycle, a school bus and the question of what the next record will run on.

When Europe's rivers fall to record lows, 12-year-old Kristýna walks onto the exposed bed of the Elbe in Děčín and finds a 'hunger stone' carved with warnings from 1616 — and further downstream, the ribs of a sunken wartime barge. Across ten chapters she learns how the water cycle works, why droughts empty a continent's rivers, how gauges and river archaeology let us read centuries of history from a stone, and what a drying river tells us about the century ahead. A science-and-history learning book that turns this summer's headlines into the best first lesson of the school year.
