  After a day of bickering with her sister, might a magical journey on a dragon’s back show a girl the path to peace and reconciliation? This rhythmically written book is a celebration of imagination, of kindness, and of dragons. 
    
  Tired from sister squabbles, a dragon-loving child slips into sleep. Soon a dragon just the right size whirs through her window to invite her on a flight into the enchanting night. They soar to a Secret Gathering where dragons carrying children from all around the world fill the sky. There are dragons. There is dancing. There are wishes. And is that her sister over there? Could they share the same wish? 
    
  "Whimsical touches—message-bearing comets, stars that taste like marshmallows—add a dash of fun … and plenty of dragons."—Kirkus Reviews

  Few campers at Camp Apple Hill Farm have found the mysterious cabin rumored to be hidden deep in the woods—but those who have whisper of a mysterious woman who tells tales of horrors beyond imagination. Are you brave enough to visit Cabin 23? 
  When Gen Farías’s brother, Lorenzo, is arrested, everything changes. Gen’s neighbors look at him and his family with suspicion, his parents are distraught, and no one will tell Gen what’s happening. But the worst part is what only Gen knows: It’s all his fault. If he hadn’t forgotten to leave their bedroom window unlatched the night of Lorenzo’s arrest, maybe his brother would have never been caught. Guilt haunts Gen—guilt, and a terrifying shadow that crouches each night on the tree branch outside his window, watching him with penetrating eyes. 
  Gen’s parents decide to move to Los Astros, a beautiful village nestled in the mountains, to try to regain some sense of normalcy. But Los Astros, Gen soon discovers, is no ordinary town. There are creepy wicker figures on every lawn and strange stories of children who go missing. Beneath its idyllic facade, Los Astros has a secret—one Gen must uncover if he doesn’t want to go missing himself.

When Kaia, arrested, faces an even worse punishment, Detective Pinsley, 45, notices a strange marking on her arm and thinks she might be the key in solving a peculiar, mysterious case.

Yet what they find may shock and horrify even them.SHADOWSEER: PARIS (Book #2) continues the story of Kaia, 17, an orphan coming of age in the Victorian Europe of the 1850s. When the brilliant Detective Pinsley, 45, takes Kaia under his wing and enlists her help in solving a series of mysterious and bizarre murders sweeping over Europe, the two of them become unlikely partners.

  Watching his father perform medical procedures back in India had convinced Paul that medicine was about blood and guts and ulcers. To his amazement, he found that it was really about causes and cures, alleviating pain, and treating ill people with dignity. The son of missionary parents, Paul Brand did not plan on becoming a doctor. After training as a builder, he was called by God into medicine and spent a lifetime treating leprosy and restoring hope to thousands of sufferers. Dr. Paul Brand became the first surgeon in the world to use reconstructive surgery to correct the deformities of leprosy in the hands and feet. He strove to eliminate the stigma of the disease and rebuild the lives of those destroyed by it. A humble, brilliant servant, he influenced faith and medical communities around the world, reminding us that all men are created in the image of God.
