Kludd is dead. Nyra, his mate, is determined that her hatchling, Nyroc, will fulfill his father's destiny: the vicious oppression of all the owl kingdoms. But Nyroc is a poor student of evil. A light grows in his heart, fed by scraps of forbidden legend and strange news of a place where goodness and nobility reign. He must summon all his courage to defy his destiny -- and the embodiment of evil that is his mother. |

Kazunomiya:
Prisoner of Heaven, Japan 1858 (Royal Diaries) ISBN: 0439164850
|
A reader writes: "Kazunomiya
finds her own future in question, when she learns that her betrothal to
a prince she has known since childhood may be broken so that her
half-brother, the Emperor, can make an alliance by marrying her off to
the young man that will be the next shogun of Japan. I recommend this
new addition to the Royal Diaries to all fans of the series. I enjoyed
learning about what life was like for a princess of Japan during an era
of great change." |

Kathryn Lasky's powerhouse novel is a dramatic historical saga that brings the reader face-to-face with some of the worst atrocities ever committed against humankind in the name of God. But above all, it is an unforgettable coming-of-age story about a girl who, in connecting with her own past and faith, is at last able to face her own demons and liberate not only herself but also future generations of her family from the long chain of suffering and silence. |

Love That Baby! by Kathryn Lasky, Jennifer Plecas (Illustrator)
"A loving and indispensable guide," says SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL. |
Sometimes love doesn't come so easily to the big brother or sister of a new baby who has seemingly grabbed every bit of parental attention. Here is a delightful, child-friendly book that will make older siblings feel like proud experts on babies, covering everything from what babies' cries mean to why they smush bananas behind their ears. "When your baby babbles, babble right back. They think it's a real conversation. And it kind of is."

| Who
would solve one of the most perplexing scientific problems of all time? This
dramatic picture-book biography brings to life – with illustrations
that glow with wit and inspiration – the fascinating story of the
quest to measure longitude. While the scientific establishment of the
eighteenth century was certain that the answer lay in mapping the
heavens, John Harrison, an obscure, uneducated clockmaker, dared to
imagine a different solution: a seafaring clock. How Harrison held fast
to his vision and dedicated his life to the creation of a small jewel of
a timepiece that would change the world is a compelling story – as
well as a memorable piece of history, science, and biography. 2004 Orbis Pictus Award Honor Book |
