Book
Sabine's Notebook
Griffin & Sabine, the most creative and discussed bestseller of 1991, left readers on the edge of a precipice. In the second volume of this inventiive trilogy, they begin--along with Griffin--the fall. Told through strangely beautiful postcards and richly decorated letters--that actually must be taken from their envelopes to be read--the story is also culled from the sketchbook and diary kept by the possibly unreal Sabine. Full color throughout.
Book
Kit's Wilderness
by David Almond
The Printz Award–winning classic gets a new look. Written in haunting, lyrical prose, Kit’s Wilderness examines the bonds of family from one generation to the next, and explores how meaning and beauty can be revealed from the depths of darkness. The Watson family moves to Stoneygate, an old coal-mining town, to care for Kit’s recently widowed grandfather. When Kit meets John Askew, another boy whose family has both worked and died in the mines, Askew invites Kit to join him in playing a game called Death. As Kit’s grandfather tells him stories of the mine’s past and the history of the Watson family, Askew takes Kit into the mines, where the boys look to find the childhood ghosts of their long-gone ancestors.
