  For Annie's tenth birthday, her papa gives her a pad of paper, some colored pencils, and the Klimas family secret. 
   
  It’s called the nuodeema burna, or eater of sins. Every time Annie does something wrong, she writes it down and sticks the paper in a hidden hole in the floor of their house. But Annie is quick to discover that her inheritance has a dark side.  
   
  With each paper fed to the burna, Annie feels less guilty about the mean things she says and does, but weird things start happening: she stops growing, and soon rats seem to be everywhere, even in her dreams. Annie confronts the secret of  
  the burna, but nothing can prepare her for the truth she unearths.  
   
  Pete Hautman masterfully spins a modern-day fairy tale that explores the emotional and moral responsibility that’s part of growing up.

  Thirteen-year-old Maya Beatriz Montenegro Calderon has vivid recurring dreams where she hears the ocean calling her. Mami’s side of the family is known as “Los Locos,” so maybe she actually is going crazy. But no time for that; the family business is where it’s at. Whenever Maya, her sister Salma, and her three cousins, Ini, Mini, and Mo, aren’t at school, you can usually find three generations of Calderones at Café Taza, serving up sandwiches de pernil, mofongo, and the best cafés con leche in all of Brooklyn. 
   
  One day, an unexpected visit from the estranged Titi Yaya from Puerto Rico changes everything. Because Yaya practices santería, Abuela tells Maya and the other Calderon children to stay away from her. But if la viejita is indeed estranged from the family, why does Maya feel so connected to this woman she has never met before? And who is this orisha named Yemaya? On top of all this, Maya has a budding soccer career to consider, while fending off the local bully, and dealing with nascent feelings toward her teammate. But through it all, there’s that alluring connection to a forbidden ancient practice—filled with a pantheon of Yoruba gods and goddesses—that keeps tugging at her, offering her a new perspective in life, and tying her past to her present and future. Which path will Maya choose to fulfill her destiny?

  In The Forgotten Dance, Kara Sparr invites us into a powerful remembering of what was lost when we abandoned the sacred polarity between the masculine and feminine. Weaving cultural critique, ancestral wisdom, this book explores how modern society has eroded our connection to identity, intimacy, and purpose and how we might rebuild. With clarity, tenderness, and courage, Kara reclaims motherhood, reveres fatherhood, and reimagines love not as performance, but as devotion. This is not a call to go back, it’s a call to return: to essence, to soul, and to the sacred rhythm that once bound us to each other.

  Under the enchanted canopy of Eldergrove, where ancient trees murmur secrets in the language of leaves and wild spirits dance on moonbeams, druid Thorne seals an eternal pact with Sylva, the forest's untamed spirit manifested as a ethereal nymph with bark-veined skin. Exiled from his order for embracing the wild's chaos, Thorne's covenant with Sylva unleashes a verdant renaissance—or a rampant overgrowth that could entomb civilizations. As they wander root-woven paths and glade-shrouded hollows, stalked by poacher shamans and corrupted treants, their pact's magic entwines druidic runes with sylvan whispers, revealing a primordial forest prophecy of balance. When a logging baron's enchanted axes threaten the canopy's heart, Thorne and Sylva must summon the wild's fury to defend their bond. In the depths of ancient woods, where every root binds fate and every moonbeam illuminates desire, their eternal love becomes the pact that nurtures the forest's undying soul.
