Just when Noah feels like he's finally settled in the city of Liberty, suddenly all of the citizens' greatest wishes start coming true. But what begins as marvelous soon turns to nightmareish... and only Noah can see it. What’s more, this may all be his fault. Will he be able to save the city before it's too late?
  
  
• The (Mostly) True Story of Cleopatra's Needle by DAN GUTMAN. In Central Park, New York, stands Cleopatra’s Needle. But what do you know about? Did you know that thousands of people worked in 1461 BCE to build it? Then hundreds more moved it, and erected it in Alexandria, where it stood for 3,000 years? So how did it end up in NYC — and in the 19th Century, no less?
