  “MacColl skillfully draws from Dickinson’s life to create a vision of the young poet as sharp-thinking, nature-obsessed, and determinedly curious.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)   One day, fifteen-year-old Emily Dickinson meets a mysterious, handsome young man. Surprisingly, he doesn’t seem to know who she or her family is. And even more surprisingly, he playfully refuses to divulge his name. Emily enjoys her secret flirtation with Mr. “Nobody” until he turns up dead in her family’s pond. She’s stricken with guilt. Only Emily can discover who this enigmatic stranger was before he’s condemned to be buried in an anonymous grave. Her investigation takes her deep into town secrets, blossoming romance, and deadly danger.   Exquisitely written and meticulously researched, this novel celebrates Emily Dickinson’s intellect and spunk in a page-turner of a book that will excite fans of mystery, romance, and poetry alike.   Includes bonus material!

  From the author of the New York Times–bestselling Guardians of Ga’hoole, when a filly from a wild herd is taken, the horses must rally to her rescue. 
   
  After adopting an orphan human boy, the first herd of horses in the New World is finally ready to make the treacherous journey across the mountains to find the Sweet Grass that promises survival. But when their leader, Estrella, is captured by cruel men, it delivers a blow to the very heart of the herd. If the horses turn back, they’ll never make it across the mountains before winter. But if they leave Estrella in captivity, the wild-born filly will surely perish.  
   
  The conclusion to Kathryn Lasky’s Horses of the Dawn trilogy will make your heart beat to the rhythm of thundering hooves, leaving you breathless as you join the herd’s final fight for freedom. 
   
  Praise for Horses of the Dawn, book one: 
   
  “As in works such as her Guardians of Ga’hoole series, Lasky uses animals to touch on very human issues. —Kirkus Reviews 
   
  “Lasky successfully fuses fantasy and fact as she gives her equine characters credible emotional depth and underscores the tensions and disparity between Old and New World sensibilities. It’s a haunting story of loss, self-discovery, survival, and homecoming.” —Publishers Weekly
