A Dog's Life by
Ann M. Martin
Age Range: 9 - 12
Squirrel is not like most dogs. Born a stray, she
must make her own way in the world, facing busy highways,
changing seasons, and humans both gentle and brutal. Her life
story, in her own words, is marked by loss, but also by an
inspiring instinct to survive. And when it seems she will roam
the woods and country roads alone forever, Squirrel makes two
friends who, in very different ways, define her fate. |

The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
The In 1913, in the last year before the world
plunged into war, a tiny orphan girl arrives alone on the shores
of colonial Australia from England. Struck by pity, the dock
master and his wife take her in and raise her as their own. On
her 21st birthday, they finally reveal to "Nell" her true
origins. Suddenly troubled by her missing history, she returns
to her country of origin, hoping to trace her roots. She parses
together some of her hidden past but dies before she can learn
the complete story. Years later, her young granddaughter
Cassandra pieces together the final missing parts of the puzzle.
The author of The House at Riverton has crafted a novel
of gothic intrigue that will remind some readers of The 13th
Tale. (from Barnes and Noble Review) |
