In this middle-grade fantasy adventure, an orphan must embark on a magical journey to bestow gifts on her aunts, or else her community is doomed. Bronte Mettlestone is 10 years old when her parents are killed by pirates.  This does not bother her particularly: Her parents ran away to have adventures when she was a baby. She has been raised by her Aunt Isabelle, with assistance from the Butler, and has spent a pleasant childhood of afternoon teas and riding lessons.  Now, however, her parents have left detailed instructions for Bronte in their will. (Instructions that, annoyingly, have been reinforced with faery cross-stitch, which means that if she doesn't complete them, terrible things could happen!) She travels the kingdoms, perfectly alone, delivering gifts to 10 other aunts: a farmer aunt who owns an orange orchard, a veterinarian aunt who specializes in dragon care, a pair of aunts who captain a cruise ship, and a former rock star aunt who is now the reigning monarch of a small kingdom.  But as she travels from aunt to aunt, Bronte suspects there might be more to this journey than the simple delivery of treasure. Praise for The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of Bronte Mettlestone“A high-spirited tale of adventure and magic.” —Booklist“The back-to-back adventures make for a speedy plot that will keep readers turning the pages.” —Publishers Weekly“Imaginative.” —Kirkus Reviews

This biography for young readers explores the life of the controversial seventh U.S. president, as well as his successes, failures, and legacy. 
 
  
 
Born in the Carolina backwoods, Andrew Jackson joined the American Revolutionary War at the age of thirteen. After a reckless youth of gunfights, gambling, and general mischief, he rose to national fame as the general who defeated the British in the Battle of New Orleans.  
 
  
 
Jackson ran for president as a political outsider, championing the interest of common farmers and frontiersmen.  Determined to take down the wealthy, well-educated East Coast “elites,” he pledged to destroy the national bank—which he believed was an engine of corruption serving the interest of bankers and industrialists.  A staunch nationalist, he sought to secure and expand the nation’s borders. Believing that “we the people” included white men only, he protected the practice of slavery, and opened new lands for white settlers by pushing the Native people westward. 
 
  
 
Jackson, a polarizing figure in his era, ignited a populist movement that remains a powerful force in our national politics.  
 
The book includes selections of Jackson’s writings, endnotes, a bibliography, and an index.  
 
“A concise profile that successfully reveals Jackson’s personal complexities and contradictions and his controversial legacy as a public figure.” —Kirkus Reviews
