Synopsis

In "Jack the Young Explorer: A Boy's Experiences in the Unknown Northwest," George Bird Grinnell crafts a compelling narrative that immerses young readers in the rugged landscapes and untamed wilderness of America's frontier. This adventure novel combines vivid descriptions and engaging dialogue, drawing upon Grinnell's extensive knowledge of the natural world and indigenous cultures. The story follows young Jack as he embarks on a journey filled with exploration, challenges, and self-discovery, reflecting the themes of bravery, resilience, and the spirit of adventure that characterized American literature in the late 19th century. George Bird Grinnell was an influential figure in the conservation movement and a passionate advocate for the preservation of Native American cultures. His firsthand experiences as an explorer and naturalist informed his writing, imbuing it with authenticity and a deep appreciation for the wilderness. Grinnell's background as a co-founder of the Audubon Society and his relationships with various Native tribes enrich the narrative, making him uniquely qualified to depict both the beauty and complexity of the American West. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking an engaging tale that not only entertains but also educates about the natural world and cultural heritage. Grinnell'Äôs seamless blend of adventure and moral lessons makes it an essential read for young explorers and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of American history.

    Thirteen-year-old Clementine Merlyn lives with her mom, her aunts, and her cousin Mirabelle at Number Fifteen Pendragon Road. The Merlyns are a family of witches, but because of an ancient falling out with the other branch of the family, the Morgans, they only have powers for a single month of the year: October. 
     
     
     
    And this October may be the one that Clemmie gets her magic. It should be exciting, except that magic is the reason that Mirabelle never talks to her anymore, Aunt Flissie leaves at the end of every September and doesn't come back until November, and Aunt Temmie . . . well, is long gone. And the Merlyn bad luck takes an even worse turn this year. After a disastrous attempt by the aunts to recover their lost magic, 15 Pendragon Road is visited by the creepy and cold Morgans. 
     
     
     
    In the wake of the ensuing battle, Clemmie and Mirabelle are left on their own. With no other choice, the cousins must bond together and summon their courage and magic to solve the mystery of what happened between the first Merlyn and Morgan all those centuries ago if they'll have any hope of ending this feud and getting their family back.

    This audiobook contains what I call my “Africanesque Folktales”. They appear in my audio and print book “Remembering Your Ancestral Fire” and are all original compositions of mine. My teacher, Grand Master Drummer Mamady Keïta said about them, quote: 
    “Taylor’s folktales draw from his experiences with me and his times in Africa. They contain the stuff of folktales of old. They are a wonderful interpretation of African tradition.” All of my stories are sourced from my decades of study with the djembe, my teachers, especially Mamady Keïta, and my numerous times traveling to Guinea, West Africa. The names are based on a 
    ctual people I’ve known or heard of; the places, on actual places. The sounds you hear in the village were field recordings I did when I was there. I have and continue to create these Africanesque folktales, but there is a trilogy I created that represent origin, duality and plurality, which are presented in this short audiobook.

    * A Stonewall Award Honor Book * ALA Notable Book * Bank Street Best Book of the Year * 
    Perfect for fans of Rebecca Stead, Natalie Lloyd, and Jasmine Warga, this beautiful novel in verse explores one girl's struggle to regain her magic after a hurricane forces her to move away from her beloved ocean that, she believes, has given her special powers.  
    Bighearted and observant twelve-year-old Murray O’Shea loves the ocean. Every chance she gets, she’s in it. It could be because the ocean never makes her apologize for being exactly who she is—something her family refuses to do—but it could also be because of the secret magic that Murray shares with the ocean. Though she can’t explain its presence, the electric buzz she feels from her fingertips down to her toes allows her to become one with the ocean and all its creatures, and it makes Murray feel seen in a way she never feels on land. 
    But then a hurricane hits Murray’s Jersey Shore home, sending the O'Sheas far inland to live with relatives. Being this far from the ocean, Murray seems to lose her magic. And stuck in a house with her family, she can no longer avoid the truths she’s discovering about herself—like how she feels in the clothes her mom makes her wear, or why she doesn't have boys on the brain like other girls her age. 
    But it’s not all hurricanes and heartache. Thankfully, Murray befriends a boy named Dylan, who has a magic of his own. When Murray agrees to partner with him for a youth roller-rama competition in exchange for help getting her magic back, the two forge an unstoppable bond—one that shows Murray how it's not always the family you were given that makes you feel whole...sometimes it's the family you build along the way.
