Summary

For centuries, folk tales about vampires, werewolves, zombies and the undead have captivated and spooked children. There are some creatures that we just love to be scared by.
 
Vampires, Werewolves & Zombies collects 40 of these mythical characters from American, European, African, Chinese and Arabian folklore. Ranging from such well known literary examples as Bram Stoker’s Dracula to historical cases, such as the human blood-drinking of Elizabeth Bathory, to the Chinese Jiang Shi myth and Vulkodlak, a Slavic werewolf, Vampires, Werewolves & Zombies brings together the most exciting and ghoulish of these characters.
 
Illustrated throughout with outstanding, annotated, full-colour artworks, each of the characters featured includes easy-to-follow accounts of its story, maps of its geographical origins, and factfile boxes describing the different characteristics of each. This engaging and accessible book is both fun, educational and just a little bit scary.
Available since: 11/15/2019.

    A ghostly ship. A vanishing crew. A secret buried beneath the waves. Can YOU solve the mystery of Blackwood Harbor? 
When siblings Leo and Maya Carter arrive in the fog-drenched town of Blackwood Harbor, they expect a quiet summer by the sea. Instead, they stumble upon a legend that sends shivers down their spines. Every full moon, a phantom ship appears in the mist, and when it vanishes, so do people. 
Determined to uncover the truth, Leo, Maya, and their best friend Ethan follow a trail of eerie clues: an abandoned lighthouse locked from the inside, cryptic messages scrawled in the fog, and a shadow lurking beneath the water.

    An unflinching reimagining of Legacy: Trauma, Story, and Indigenous Healing for young adults
		 
Written specifically for young adults, reluctant readers, and literacy learners, Killing the Wittigo explains the traumatic effects of colonization on Indigenous people and communities and how trauma alters an individual’s brain, body, and behavior. It explores how learned patterns of behavior — the ways people adapt to trauma to survive — are passed down within family systems, thereby affecting the functioning of entire communities. The book foregrounds Indigenous resilience through song lyrics and as-told-to stories by young people who have started their own journeys of decolonization, healing, and change. It also details the transformative work being done in urban and on-reserve communities through community-led projects and Indigenous-run institutions and community agencies. These stories offer concrete examples of the ways in which Indigenous peoples and communities are capable of healing in small and big ways — and they challenge readers to consider what the dominant society must do to create systemic change. Full of bold graphics and illustration, Killing the Wittigo is a much-needed resource for Indigenous kids and the people who love them and work with them.
