  Born in 14th-century England, Crispin has embarked on one adventure after  another since learning that he, once known only as “Asta’s son,” has a much grander destiny than he ever could have imagined. 
  But his fate has taken a dark turn. The sweet and kindly Bear, his friend and  protector, is dead. Crispin is thereby left to protect Troth, she of the staring eyes and broken face. Having attempted a sea voyage to France—and having their ship and most of their hopes dashed to bits in the process—Crispin and Troth are plagued by hunger and left to fend for themselves. All in all, they have much to fear and  scant prospects on which to pin their hopes. 
  Newbery Medal-winning author Avi completes the Crispin saga with this third installment of the riveting trilogy. Voiced by widely acclaimed narrator Ron Keith, Crispin: The End of Time takes listeners on the journey of a lifetime.

  Eleven-year-old Rigel Harman loves her life in off-the-grid Alaska. She hunts rabbits, takes correspondence classes through the mail, and plays dominoes with her family in their two-room cabin. She doesn't mind not having electricity or running water—instead, she's got tall trees, fresh streams, and endless sky. But then her parents divorce, and Rigel and her sisters have to move with their mom to the Connecticut suburbs to live with a grandmother they've never met. Rigel hates it in Connecticut. It's noisy, and crowded, and there's no real nature. Her only hope is a secret pact that she made with her father: If she can stick it out in Connecticut for one year, he'll bring her back home. At first, surviving the year feels impossible. Middle school is nothing like the wilderness, and she doesn't connect with anyone . . . until she befriends a crow living behind her school. And if this wild creature has made a life for itself in the suburbs, then, just maybe, Rigel can too. 365 Days to Alaska is a wise and funny debut novel about finding beauty, hope, and connection in the world no matter where you are—even Connecticut.
