  When her little village is overrun by all manner of creatures, a young witch’s talents are tested: “The exuberant chaos is charming.” —Kirkus Reviews 
   
  Arianwyn is a fully qualified witch now, but somehow magic doesn’t feel any easier than it did in her apprentice days. The Hex has driven all manner of supernatural creatures out of the Great Wood and into her little town—some benign, others dark, and others downright mischievous. The Spellorium has never been so busy! 
   
  What’s more, the High Elder has set her a dangerous secret mission. With Gimma acting weirder than usual and her friendships crumbling under pressure, Arianwyn faces the toughest spell of her witching career. Can she really see it through alone?

  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

  The Black Sheep is a very young sheep so he is curious about why the farmer cuts their wool off every year. "The man and his wife spin our wool into clothes to keep them warm" was the reply of a wise old ram. The little black sheep then meets the boy who lives down the lane and hears that his mother has no money to buy him a coat and he is cold in the winter so the kind little sheep asks the farmer that if he will grow enough wool for 3 bags instead of the normal two, could he have one. The farmer agrees and so this is what happens. A wonderful story all around.
