Kid Sterling
A new young adult novel from the author of Reporter in Disguise! Sterling Crawford is a poor African American boy living in New Orleans. Sterling plays the trumpet just like his idol Buddy Bolden, a major figure in the development of American jazz. Bolden's music inspires Sterling into the eclectic, inspiring and sometimes shady world of this art form. Kid Sterling is a wonderfully textured story of a young aspiring musician that takes us through the streets, the honky-tonks, and the prisons of a legendary city where great musicians burst with ideas about a music that would eventually take over the world.
Auld Lang Syne
Because of his humble beginnings and his whole-hearted affection for Scotland and her common folk, Robert Burns was able to record and compose poems and songs that speak to people from every walk of life. He was, and still is, one of Scotland's best-loved sons. Two centuries after his death and in the true spirit of auld lang syne, literally old long since, Joanne Findon and Ted Nasmith have collaborated on this beautiful and personal glimpse into the life and times of Robert Burns. From his birth to almost the close of his life, this narrative reveals the events and influences that shaped the poet's work.

I Heard the Owl Call My Name
Amid the grandeur of the remote Pacific Northwest stands Kingcome, a village so ancient that, according to Kwakiutl myth, it was founded by the two brothers left on earth after the great flood. The Native Americans who still live there call it Quee, a place of such incredible natural richness that hunting and fishing remain primary food sources. But the old culture of totems and potlatch is being replaces by a new culture of prefab housing and alcoholism. Kingcome's younger generation is disenchanted and alienated from its heritage. And now, coming upriver is a young vicar, Mark Brian, on a journey of discovery that can teach him—and us—about life, death, and the transforming power of love.
