Book Description
Kellen’s mother has always insisted that her only child was born male, not female—so Kellen has been raised as a boy. At school, she meets Gryffin, whose mind is as strong as his legs are damaged, and the two become friends and allies. A few years later, the two get jobs working at an inn nearby. When it is discovered that Gryffin is the kingdom’s new Dream-Maker—someone whose mere presence can help dreams come true—he is whisked away to the castle, leaving Kellen behind. By now, their friendship is shading into something more. Will it endure?

The Dovekeepers
Author: Alice Hoffman
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1451617496
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
An ambitious and mesmerizing novel from the bestselling author of Rules of Magic. The Dovekeepers is “striking….Hoffman grounds her expansive, intricately woven, and deepest new novel in biblical history, with a devotion and seriousness of purpose” (Entertainment Weekly). Nearly two thousand years ago, nine hundred Jews held out for months against armies of Romans on Masada, a mountain in the Judean desert. According to the ancient historian Josephus, two women and five children survived. Based on this tragic and iconic event, Hoffman’s novel is a spellbinding tale of four extraordinarily bold, resourceful, and sensuous women, each of whom has come to Masada by a different path. Yael’s mother died in childbirth, and her father, an expert assassin, never forgave her for that death. Revka, a village baker’s wife, watched the murder of her daughter by Roman soldiers; she brings to Masada her young grandsons, rendered mute by what they have witnessed. Aziza is a warrior’s daughter, raised as a boy, a fearless rider and expert marksman who finds passion with a fellow soldier. Shirah, born in Alexandria, is wise in the ways of ancient magic and medicine, a woman with uncanny insight and power. The lives of these four complex and fiercely independent women intersect in the desperate days of the siege. All are dovekeepers, and all are also keeping secrets—about who they are, where they come from, who fathered them, and whom they love.

Audrika's Magic
Author: R.S. Everburg
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1462855970
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
With her first published book the author is letting us in on a secret. All around the edges of the world of everyday here and now, lie magical doors, teasing, beckoning, daring us to summon the courage to pry them open wide enough to squeeze through. She knows what she’s talking about. She’s found a lot of these doors through the years, sometimes in the most unexpected places. Mostly she’s taken up the challenge to squeeze through, and has never once been sorry that she did. Children know how to do this, but time and the greedy demands of the world of everyday here and now, can be robbers and poachers. So often we’re told that we must give up the search for those doors to apply ourselves to more practical things, that peeking beyond the edges of the everyday world is a fun but frivolous part of childhood, and must eventually be laid aside. That brings us back round to Audrika‘s story. She’s a normal ten year old, with a normal ten year old’s problems. Already she’s come perilously close to slamming the door shut on her own magic forever, but a summer full of adventure and yes, dare we say it, magic, will change all that. She’ll find the courage to step through a door tucked away in a remote corner of an enchanted greenhouse. What she finds on the other side will change her life forever. True, this is a story about the possibilities that lie on the other side of an enchanted door, but it is more. It is a nudge that worries and warns, “Don’t forget the magic. Hang on. Hold on. If you are courageous enough you don‘t ever have to let go. There is no expiration date on the magic that fills our insides with soda pop bubbles and sends fireworks up into a velvet night sky.” This book is a gift to every child struggling to hold on to their special magic. Perhaps it is also a gift to every adult who has misplaced their own, and longs for its return.
