Sinossi

Do come over here, Pearl,” urged Roseleen excitedly, “it’s . . . a girl . . . in the grocer’s cart. It looks as if it might be the new girl who ought to have come last week—only it can’t be! The grocer boy is grinning like anything—and yes! he is handing her down a hockey stick . . . and a bag, and she is actually shaking hands. Really if that’s not the limit! Wherever can Miss Carwell have got her from?”
Pearl Willock crossed to the side of her friend. The two girls were alone in the deserted schoolroom; and their interest for the moment was wholly given to the new arrival.

Hattie's War

Peter Serko

What if the secrets of the past held the keys to your future?
Set against the backdrop of post-Civil War America, Hattie's War is a touching exploration of identity, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of a young woman determined to forge her own path.
The audiobook version of Hattie’s War offers a truly unique and immersive listening experience, brought to life by Bridget Simmons, a young woman who is the same age as the book’s main character, Hattie. Her voice brings a genuine sense of emotion and depth to the story, making the audiobook version an experience that goes beyond just hearing the words—it allows listeners to connect with Hattie in a truly meaningful way. More about the book...
Haunted by the legacy of a father she never knew, a Union soldier lost to the war before her birth, Hattie longs to know her father and his reasons for leaving his family. With the unexpected death of her sister, Hattie descends into a debilitating depression she calls Raven. Whispers of an insane asylum send her into a panic. Desperate and terrified, her best friend orchestrates a secret meeting with a fortune-teller whose cryptic prophecy sets Hattie on a journey of discovery and healing.
Hattie’s War is a tale that transcends time. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the enduring power of love, and the unbreakable bond between generations. Rooted in the author's family history, it invites readers to journey through a past that echoes into the present, discovering with Hattie the unyielding strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity and proving that sometimes, the most transformative battles are the ones fought within ourselves.

Em-bar-rass-ment means something you do or say that makes you wish you were someone else. 
 
Nina Soni is a problem solver—and her latest problem is her little sister Kavita, who is a real embarrassment. Not only does Kavita sing too much, she often gets the lyrics wrong or, even worse, makes up ridiculous songs. What Nina needs is a project—a plan to fix her sister. 
 
But one project isn’t really enough, especially during a long rainy school break.  
 
Nina is restless. A pile of dirt in the neighbor’s yard is a temptation she can’t resist—a project for Nina, a distraction for Kavita, and something to do to pass the time. Soon, Nina has more to worry about than Kavita’s singing. Can she fix Kavita and her own mistake before it’s too late?
