The True History of Lyndie B. Hawkins

Author: Gail Shepherd

Age Range: 10-14

Two Sentence Recap: Lyndie B. Hawkins loves history, research, and getting to the truth no matter what, even when it goes against everything her grandmother tells her about being a nice Southern girl. Lyndie’s one-of-a-kind voice lights up this witty, heartwarming debut set in 1985 Tennessee about the power of homespun wisdom (even when it's wrong), the clash between appearances and secrets, and the barriers to getting help even when it's needed most.

Poison in the Colony: James Town 1622

Author: Elisa Carbone

Series: A companion to Blood on the River

Age Range: 8-12

Two Sentence Recap: Virginia Laydon, an infant at the end of Blood on the River, has now grown up in a colony that is teetering dangerously on the precipice of conflict with the native Algonquins. Virginia has the gift, or the curse, of the knowing-an ability that could help save the colony, and is equally likely to land her at the burning stake as an accused witch.
