Summary

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.

The king was overjoyed and made the three Taoist priests royal advisers. From that point on, they made Buddhist monks their slaves. An immortal appeared in the monks' dreams and told them to wait for the Great Sage Equal to Heaven's help. When the monkey met the three priests, he tricked them and prevented them from bringing rain. He also won other challenges against them. When the three priests were killed in competitions, the king came to his senses and promised to respect Buddhist monks and Taoists equally and recruit based on talent.

    In this award-winning sequel to Blue, Ann Fay’s family is back together, but much mending is needed. Ann Fay’s polio and her father’s post-war trauma stole the good life her family had before the war, before the polio, before the death of her little brother. Now, they are looking for comfort — “the kind  
    that made you feel safe on the inside, instead of sad or worried. The kind that reminded you of how life was before some disaster snuck up and knocked you off your feet.” Once again, Ann Fay digs deep within trying to fix her family, and her determination brings an unexpected kind of comfort.
