Summary

A young boy must slay Fafnir, a shape-shifting ogre who has transformed himself into a dragon Fafnir lives with his family in a fortress-like house deep in the forest. His father, descended from an archdemon, shares the secrets of the dark arts with Fafnir and his two brothers. Regnir, the eldest, is a deformed dwarf who lusts after gold and relies on his cunning to get it. Hungering only for food, Oter, the middle brother, can transform himself into a bird of prey. The shape-shifting Fafnir desires to be feared, and when Odin, king of the gods, sets a trap with a treasure that tempts every giant, ogre, and dwarf in his domain, Fafnir becomes a dragon. However, he is about to confront an even fiercer rival: a mortal named Siegfried. This adventure-filled Norse myth is a powerful story of magic, curses, doom, and destruction featuring an unlikely hero whose perils are only just beginning.

    The author and her eight-year-old granddaughter, Clara, explore the world of their imaginations in this unique children’s book illustrated by Clara.   What if it were possible . . . for a dog to climb a tree? What if it were possible to climb like you and me? What if pretty butterflies could spread their wings and swim? And elephants could wear their trunks while working out at gyms? Anything can happen if you think it might. In your imagination, ANYTHING is RIGHT!   Eight-year-old Clara has a vivid imagination. One day while visiting her Yia-Yia, author Joanne Miller, they watched Clara’s dog, Harley, desperately try to climb a tree to get a squirrel. Then Joanne asked Clara a provocative question: “What if it were possible for a dog to climb a tree?”   And the rest is history.   Joanne and Clara had lots of giggles coming up with crazy lines for this book, and Clara drew each illustration with water color pencils. Clara and her Yia Yia don’t believe play and imagination are only for children. In What If It Were Possible? they demonstrate the limitless wonders we can discover in our minds.

    “A philosophical, ruminative adventure for fans of the CW network’s The 100” from the award-winning author of Winterkill and Heartfire (Kirkus Reviews).   For as long as Emmeline can remember, she’s longed to leave the isolated world of the settlement and explore the wilderness that calls to her in her dreams. And now that the Council has fallen, she will finally, finally get that chance. With First Peoples guide Matisa at her side, Emmeline rallies a brave group to join her on her quest into the unknown, including her beloved Kane and his two younger brothers.   But the journey soon proves far more dangerous than Emmeline anticipated—with warring clans, slavers, colonists, disease, and natural disasters seemingly at every turn. After putting so many lives in danger, she starts to doubt everything she once knew. Did she make the right choice to leave the settlement—and can her relationship with Kane survive the ordeal? Matisa insists that to set things right and to fight the evil that is bringing all this danger and turmoil to the forest, Emmeline must journey to Matisa’s people—even if that means leaving Kane behind.  Praise for Winterkill   “I ripped through Winterkill’s pages, desperate to know the secrets behind this captivating world. Equal parts creepy, thrilling, and touching, this book is a must-read, and Emmeline is a character I won’t soon forget.” —James Dashner, #1 New York Times-bestselling author   “Boorman’s . . . protagonist speaks directly and powerfully to a young adult experience.” —Publishers Weekly   “The promise of forthcoming volumes should keep antsy readers at bay.” —Booklist
