  With a witchfinder skulking about town, gifted healer Ann and a young Isaac Newton must be careful not to draw too much attention in this high-stakes story from Lindsay Galvin. 
  Will the discovery of the Elixir of Life lead to a death sentence for a talented young healer? 
  Ann Storer has inherited her grandmother’s mysterious gift of healing, which she shares through the special tinctures she dispenses in her family’s apothecary shop. When she combines her talents with the genius of a young Isaac Newton, recently arrived to board above the shop, the two create an incredible elixir with seemingly unlimited powers. 
  But seventeenth-century England is a dangerous place to display any special abilities, and Ann must hide all evidence when witchfinder Abel Geach arrives in town. 
  So when the plague starts to run rife and those she loves are in danger, will Ann risk everything to help them? 
  Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8. 
  The Elixir is a top pick for young adult and juvenile readers, offering a unique blend of historical fiction and adventure. The story explores the themes of friendship, science, and the power of nature in a way that is both engaging and thought-provoking. 
  For fans of Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), Matt Goodfellow (Tomorrow We Begin), Robin Stevens (Death Sets Sail), Rhian Tracey (Wink, Murder), and Lindsay Littleson (The Titanic Detective Agency).

  Collected poems from one of the Twentieth Century's most influential voices. 
  Frank O’Hara was one of the great poets of the twentieth century and, along with such widely acclaimed writers as Denise Levertov, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Creeley, and Gary Snyder, a crucial contributor to what Donald Allen termed the New American Poetry, “which, by its vitality alone, became the dominant force in the American poetic tradition.” 
  Frank O’Hara was born in Baltimore in 1926 and grew up in New England; from 1951 he lived and worked in New York, both for Art News and for the Museum of Modern Art, where he was an associate curator. O’Hara’s untimely death in 1966 at the age of forty was, in the words of fellow poet John Ashbery, “the biggest secret loss to American poetry since John Wheelwright was killed.”. 
  This collection is a reissue of a volume first published by Grove Press in 1957, and it demonstrates beautifully the flawless rhythm underlying O’Hara’s conviction that to write poetry, indeed to live, “you just go on your nerve.
