Описание: Guided by the Knower, Otulissa has studied long in the libraries of the Others; she has probed the ancient lore of the strange and powerful dire wolves of the Beyond. And at the Great Ga'Hoole tree itself she has uncovered secret histories of Guardians she thought she knew well Attention Dear Reader Great mysteries will be revealed to the attuned mind in these last Lost Tales of the Great Tree

Otulissa embarks on a journey to revitalize academic vigor and historical interest at the Great Tree. Lost Tales of Ga'Hoole is the result of her labor. In finding and compiling these tales previously lost to the annals of Ga'Hoolian history, she composes her magnum opus. Otulissa tells the never-before-known tales of minor and invented characters in the world of Ga'Hoole. They contain new information about the owls, dire wolves, and other creatures of Ga'Hoole, but always refer back to the world and overarching storyline that readers of the series have come to love.

Lost Tales of Ga'Hoole will also serve as a last hurrah for the series-a loving and elegiac look back.

When their mother is taken prisoner, the cubs' world falls apart. They know they have to rescue her, but how can two cubs who've barely learned to hunt survive a treacherous journey across the ice? Their only chance is to learn to trust each other and--even more important--trust themselves.

But survival is only the beginning. And soon, these two unlikely heroes find themselves at the heart of a battle unlike anything Ga'hoole has ever seen.

Описание: "Step aside Miss Marple, Eugenia Potter, and Kinsey Millhone—Georgia OKeeffe is the new sleuth in town! Kathryn Lasky brings the rich imagination of her YA and Juvenile books to Light On Bone , a stunning, suspenseful adult mystery. Vivid prose brushstrokes bring the legendary artist, the Southwest landscape she loved, and a complicated plot with historical and imagined characters to life."—Katherine Hall Page, author of the award-winning Faith Fairchild series Kathryn Lasky has written an exciting new adult amateur sleuth mystery set in New Mexico in the 1930s. The sleuth is Georgia OKeefe, who actually did suffer a nervous breakdown in 1933 when her husband Alfred Stieglitz had a somewhat public affair, was hospitalized for psychiatric treatment, and then traveled to the Ghost Ranch in New Mexico to paint. OKeefe was approaching the peak of her fame and success, having just sold a painting for a record price. The narrative begins when she discovers the slain body of a priest in the desert. The plot includes several other murders, Georgias burgeoning romance with the local sheriff, an international espionage plot involving Charles Lindbergh (who is staying at the ranch with his wife Anne), and lots of intricate twists and turns leading to a thoroughly unforeseen denouement. The strength of this story is how Laskys elegant writing captures the emotional depth of this artists turmoil and so stunningly reveals OKeeffes perception of the landscape that moves her to paint. It is not simply a who-dunnit mystery, but much more: It is a narrative of healing and resurrection of spirit.

Описание: "Lasky shows not only the facts of Wheatley's life but also the pain of being an accomplished black woman in a segregated world." -- Booklist

In 1761, a young girl was sold to the Wheatley family in Boston, who named her Phillis after the slave schooner that had carried her. Kidnapped from her home in Africa and shipped to America, she'd had everything taken from her-her family, her name, and her language. But Phillis had a passion to learn. Amid the tumult of the Revolutionary War, Phillis Wheatley became a poet and ultimately had a book of verse published, establishing herself as the first African- American woman poet this country had ever known.
Back matter includes an author's note, an illustrator's note, sources, and an index.

Описание: This illustrated book aims to provide the reader a brief history of the Encampment, along with an introduction to its degrees, symbols, teachings and regalia; also covering the organizational structure and functions of the officers of the Encampment and the Grand Encampment. The Encampment, also known as Patriarchal Odd Fellowship, is a higher branch of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows that confers three additional degrees to Degree of Truth or Third Degree members in good standing: Patriarchal Degree, Golden Rule Degree and Royal Purple Degree. The degree work in this branch is a result of evolution from additional degrees that were once conferred only to Past Grands (past presiding officers) of an Odd Fellows Lodge and only during sessions of Grand Lodges. In 1827, these three additional degrees were eventually bestowed in a separate branch called an Encampment. The degrees are based on the lessons of Hospitality, Toleration and Fortitude. The motto is Faith, Hope, and Charity.

"A marvelous adventure...an enchanting introduction to a wonderful, new natural world." --Booklist (starred review)

"Themes of belonging and friendship are well conveyed... as are the complexities of this industrious world of creatures." --Publishers Weekly

Deep in the wilds of Scotland, land of ancient warrior kings and myths, there is a deep secret. The secret is a colony of beavers, a species that is craved for their fur pelts, but vilified for what humans consider to be the destruction of their land. No beaver has been spotted in Scotland or England for over five hundred years, until the young beaver, Dunwattle, is sighted!

Dunwattle's flight is driven by the presence of a ghostly figure, a figure of a mysterious young girl who is almost one thousand years old. And now Dunwattle is destined to be destroyed for revealing the hidden colony, but his best friend Locksley is determined to save him. Will their ancient beaver colony survive?
