Book Description
A young lord with a fatal secret that is slowly killing him. A blacksmith who loathes the oppressing aristocracy and takes pleasure in pursuing a forbidden craft. A stable boy with a sleight of hand and a tendency to enjoy the wrong company. A girl, deemed the local witch, who has sought solitary refuge between ancient trees. And a town bowing to a law in fear of what might linger in the uncharted shadows of the nearby woods. As fate entangles the four young adults, they flee together from society into the wild unknown of the forest, where they progressively manage to build themselves a new life among ethereal creatures. But the past is catching up and when fires begin to rise between the treetops, the unforseen group is forced to defend what they have come to call home.

Pages : 82
Book Description
The era of the Swinging Sixties was coming to an end. A New Age was about to replace the old. But during these changing times, one man lives seemingly isolated from this cultural centre. Corney O'Cassidy, a man with a strange occupation. He is a spiritual correspondent, that is to say, he exorcises ghosts. But what is a ghost? They are remnants of the past lingering in the warm darkness. They seep into our minds, causing migraines and unexplainable ailments. Being the only person with the ability to glimpse into this otherworldly milieu with his naked eye, he has been called many things such as looney, nitwit, heretic, phoney, troglodyte, warlock; in short, an eccentric. These titles mean nothing to him. It is his solemn duty to step into the minds of these wraiths, spectres and revenants; understand their nature, and end their existence before they end him.

For fans of Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer by Kelly Jones and The Canning Season by Polly Horvath. Newt Gomez has a thing with bears. Having survived a bear attack last year, he now finds an unusual bear statue. Newt's best friend thinks the statue grants wishes. But even as more people wish on the bear and their wishes come true, Newt is not a believer. But Newt has a wish too: while he loves his home on eccentric Murphy Island, he wants to go to middle school on the mainland, where his warm extended family lives. There, he's not the only Latinx kid, and he won't have to drive the former taco truck--a gift from his parents--or perform in the talent show. Most importantly, on the mainland, he never has bad dreams about the attack. Newt is almost ready to make a secret wish when everything changes. Tackling themes of survival and self-acceptance, Newt's story illuminates the magic in our world, where reality is often uncertain but always full of salvageable wonders.
