Book excerpt: Among the stark contrasts that separate the rich few from the plentiful poor, Under the Emerald Sky is a tale of love and betrayal in a land teetering on the brink of disaster - the Great Famine that would forever change the course of Ireland's history.It's 1843 and the English nobleman Quinton Williams has come to Ireland to oversee the running of his father's ailing estate and escape his painful past. Here he meets the alluring Alannah O'Neill, whose Irish family is one of few to have retained ownership of their land, the rest having been supplanted by the English over the course of the country's bloody history. Finding herself drawn to the handsome Englishman, Alannah offers to help Quin communicate with the estate's Gaelic-speaking tenants, as much to assist him as to counter her own ennui. Aware of her controlling brother's hostility towards the English, she keeps her growing relationship with Quin a secret - a secret that cannot, however, be kept for long from those who dream of ridding Ireland of her English oppressors.

Book excerpt: Contessa Rose and her siblings are forced to move to a small town in northern Oregon with their grandparents after the premature death of their parents. There they hope to lead normal lives. Instead, they come face to face with the supernatural. Contessa picks up her role as a social outcast, where she meets the secretive Thorne family, and the elusive Elliot. Contessa is sure that the family is hiding a secret as dark as her own, and she is determined to figure it out. In a strange twist of fate, Contessa is forced to participate in a school fundraiser by her twin sister. During her forced participation, she discovers a strange truth about Elliot, and his family, a truth that could possibly mean the end of Contessa if she reveals it. Never one to run from a challenge, she exposes herself to the dark family. Now that she is exposed, Contessa is in more danger than ever before. However, Contessa and the pixie-like Angelique Thorne become friends fast. Angelique and the other Thorne siblings force Elliot and Contessa together, believing that there is something deeper between them. Their interference forces Contessa into a world of magic and secrets that she believed only existed in fairytales. As Contessa heads deeper into a strange and dark relationship, the world around her begins to unfold. As her relationship with the Thornes grows stronger, her relationships with her family and friends become more strained. Her sister and best friend cast her out, and her brother begins to pull further away from both sisters. With no one else to turn to, Contessa engulfs herself completely into understanding the supernatural that surrounds her. Unable to step aside, Contessa continues to use her own gift to save everyone around her. She is soon to find that her luck is running out. It becomes apparent to Contessa that she needs a little protection of her own when a dark figure from her past comes back to haunt her. When the monster that killed her parents comes looking for revenge, Contessa is forced to return to her childhood home to save her brother. In a life or death battle, Contessa is forced to put aside her pride, and let someone else take care of her for once.

Book excerpt: "Necessary for all of humankind, Under the Broken Sky is a breathtaking work of literature."—Booklist, starred review A beautifully told middle-grade novel-in-verse about a Japanese orphan’s experience in occupied rural Manchuria during World War II. Twelve-year-old Natsu and her family live a quiet farm life in Manchuria, near the border of the Soviet Union. But the life they’ve known begins to unravel when her father is recruited to the Japanese army, and Natsu and her little sister, Cricket, are left orphaned and destitute. In a desperate move to keep her sister alive, Natsu sells Cricket to a Russian family following the 1945 Soviet occupation. The journey to redemption for Natsu's broken family is rife with struggles, but Natsu is tenacious and will stop at nothing to get her little sister back. Literary and historically insightful, this is one of the great untold stories of WWII. Much like the Newbery Honor book Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai, Mariko Nagai's Under the Broken Sky is powerful, poignant, and ultimately hopeful. Christy Ottaviano Books
