Louisiana's Way Home
Author: Kate DiCamillo
Publisher: Candlewick Press
ISBN: 1536204773
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
From two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo comes a story of discovering who you are — and deciding who you want to be. When Louisiana Elefante’s granny wakes her up in the middle of the night to tell her that the day of reckoning has arrived and they have to leave home immediately, Louisiana isn’t overly worried. After all, Granny has many middle-of-the-night ideas. But this time, things are different. This time, Granny intends for them never to return. Separated from her best friends, Raymie and Beverly, Louisiana struggles to oppose the winds of fate (and Granny) and find a way home. But as Louisiana’s life becomes entwined with the lives of the people of a small Georgia town — including a surly motel owner, a walrus-like minister, and a mysterious boy with a crow on his shoulder — she starts to worry that she is destined only for good-byes. (Which could be due to the curse on Louisiana's and Granny’s heads. But that is a story for another time.) Called “one of DiCamillo’s most singular and arresting creations” by The New York Times Book Review, the heartbreakingly irresistible Louisiana Elefante was introduced to readers in Raymie Nightingale — and now, with humor and tenderness, Kate DiCamillo returns to tell her story.

Men of the White Sandy

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 729
Book Description
Welcome back to the White Sandy, where the cowboys are the Indians, but they also drive pickup trucks, have cell phones and occasionally advanced degrees. Change is coming to the White Sandy reservation--will the men of the Lakota tribe find their place in this new world with their women by their sides? The Medicine Man: The White Sandy Reservation needs a doctor, and Madeline Mitchell needs to do a little good in the world. It seems like a perfect fit, until she meets the medicine man, Rebel Runs Fast. As far as Madeline can tell, Rebel's sole mission is to convince her patients that modern medicine can't help them. And the fact that he makes her heart race every time he looks at her only irritates her more. Rebel's never met a woman like Dr. Mitchell. He tries to convince himself that his tribe doesn't need her, but when patients start getting sick with strange symptoms, he realizes that he needs her more than ever. The Rancher: Mary Beth goes west to start over as a large-animal vet. But then she meets Jacob, a Lakota cowboy who says next to nothing – especially about the black leather mask that covers half his face. Jacob’s silence is his armor in a white man’s world, but even that isn’t enough to protect him—or the mute girl he guards—from forces he can’t control. Fascinated by the masked cowboy and drawn to defend the girl, Mary Beth finds herself in the middle of a decades-old power struggle that only she could talk her way out of. The Shadow: Nobody Bodine is a nobody who came from a nobody and will always be a nobody. Until Melonie Mitchell shows up on the rez. From the first moment Nobody lays eyes on her, he feels like a somebody in her eyes. Melonie has come west to run the new day care on the White Sandy Reservation. When she discovers that Nobody a self-appointed guardian angel for the boy in her care, she’s intrigued. But how far will he go to keep the boy safe? And will she be able to draw him into the light? The Medic: Clarence Thunder may not be as young as he once was… But is he as good once as he ever was? He hopes so. He wants to show Tammy he can take care of her and her young son—but can he compete with the boy’s real father? Tammy was crushed when her old boyfriend abandoned her after she got pregnant. Since then, she’s put her son first—which means no dating. Until Clarence starts making her coffee—and bringing her son toys. Can she put herself first—or will her past catch up to them both? The Sheriff: The last thing he needs is another person he has to protect… When Sheriff Tim Means busts a kid named Georgey breaking into the Clinic, Tim needs a relative to take the teen off his hands. But who? The only person available is Summer Collins, Georgey’s half-sister. What she finds on the White Sandy is one sexy sheriff and suddenly, a summer fling seems like just the thing. But things on the White Sandy are never simple—or easy. When the gang war threatens Summer and her brother, will Tim be able to do his job—or will his heart get in the way? The Wannabe Cowboy: Zack Baker will do whatever it takes to finish his thesis, including convincing rancher Sam Kenady to let him finish his zoological study on her land. It’s his last chance. Scarred by an attack that happened when she was a teenager, Sam runs her ranch with an iron hand. Her rules are nonnegotiable, and rule #1 is no men. But some rules can be bent—and others can be broken. Does Sam dare risk it all on a wannabe cowboy, or will their attraction cause everything she’s worked so hard to protect to go up in smoke?
