Eleven-year-old Rigel Harman loves her life in off-the-grid Alaska. She hunts rabbits, takes correspondence classes through the mail, and plays dominoes with her family in their two-room cabin. She doesn't mind not having electricity or running water-instead, she's got tall trees, fresh streams, and endless sky.
But then her parents divorce, and Rigel and her sisters have to move with their mom to the Connecticut suburbs to live with a grandmother they've never met. Rigel hates it in Connecticut. It's noisy, and crowded, and there's no real nature. Her only hope is a secret pact that she made with her father: If she can stick it out in Connecticut for one year, he'll bring her back home.
At first, surviving the year feels impossible. Middle school is nothing like the wilderness, and she doesn't connect with anyone . . . until she befriends a crow living behind her school. And if this wild creature has made a life for itself in the suburbs, then, just maybe, Rigel can too.
365 Days to Alaska is a wise and funny debut novel about finding beauty, hope, and connection in the world no matter where you are-even Connecticut.

From an award-winning author of historical fiction comes a story of survival, crime, adventure, and horses in the streets of 19th century New York City.
Eleven-year-old Rocco is an Italian immigrant who finds himself alone in New York City after he's sold to a padrone by his poverty-stricken parents. While working as a street musician, he meets the boys of the infamous Bandits' Roost, who teach him the art of pickpocketing. Rocco embraces his new life of crime - he's good at it, and it's more lucrative than banging a triangle on the street corner. But when he meets Meddlin' Mary, a strong-hearted Irish girl who's determined to help the horses of New York City, things begin to change. Rocco begins to reexamine his life - and take his future into his own hands.
Rick finds a bear in his home after dark and is terrified. His parents can't find the bear and think he is having nightmares. But the bear is real.
The question is though…..
Is the bear a friend or a foe?
'A Bear in There' is the story many children live every night.
It is about children's fear of the dark and the monsters they imagine come out of hiding as soon as the lights go out.
'A Bear in There' is intended to show children that they have nothing to fear and that the toys they sometimes think become scary after dark, aren't really scary.
We can all relate to our childhood fears of the dark as children or parents.
Written in rhyme, this story reads well and makes for good acting and storytelling for youngsters that can help them to remember the story and not be afraid of the dark.
