  Princess Evony is trapped. Cursed into silence by her scheming servant, what should have been the joyous start to her new life has turned into a nightmare. Her betrothed is about to marry her usurper, and in her traitor's place, Evony has been sentenced to tend geese, where her betrayer can ensure the truth never comes to light. And to make matters worse, she can't seem to shake the enthusiastic goose boy into believing she has no intention of ever wedding him. 
  Armed only with the love letters from the prince and the necklace her mother gave her before she died, Evony must find a way to escape her curse and save the prince - and his kingdom - from the wicked girl who has sought to ruin them all. Bereft of the full power of speech, can she convince Prince Maxence that she's really the girl he's written to all these years? Or will she be stuck tending cranky geese forever? 
  This novelette retelling of The Goose Girl is a tale of clean, wholesome romance, magical mystery, and that ever-satisfying heroic happily-ever-after.

  November 18th, 1929. In her small village in Newfoundland, Celia is setting the table for her 13th birthday celebration when the house starts to shake. It’s an earthquake, rumbling under the Atlantic Ocean. A few hours later, the sea water disappears from the harbor, only to rush back in a wave almost 30 feet high, destroying nearly everything in its path. Buildings, boats, and winter supplies of fish and food are washed away, and Celia and her community are devastated. With their only phone line cut off and no safe route to get help, they are isolated and facing a long, cold, hungry winter.
  		 
  Their house destroyed and village in ruins, Celia and her family must band together and share the work needed for the community to survive. Can Celia find the courage to help her injured loved ones? Will help arrive before it’s too late?
  		 
  Based on the true story of an earthquake that shook Newfoundland’s Burin Peninsula, A Terrible Tide tells the tale of this forgotten disaster from the point of view of a young girl whose life is turned upside down.

  The Battle of the Birds

  The Battle of the Birds is one of Joseph Jacobs’ most sweeping and enchanting Scottish fairy tales — a sprawling epic of magic, loyalty, giants, riddles, shapeshifting, and fate. 
  When a humble wren challenges a mouse to a contest of strength, the clash spirals into a full-scale battle of the creatures. A young prince sets out to witness the strange conflict, only to be swept into a whirlwind of enchantment when he rescues a mighty black raven locked in combat with a deadly serpent. 
  But the raven is no ordinary bird — and the prince’s act of kindness pulls him into a journey across nine bens, nine glens, and nine mountain moors; into the homes of mysterious sisters; and ultimately into the heart of a dangerous bargain with a relentless giant. 
  With the help of Auburn Mary — the brave and selfless daughter of the giant — the prince must face impossible trials, outwit monstrous forces, and fight to remember the love that saved his life. 
  This tale blends the best of Celtic myth, folklore wonder, and classic fairy-tale magic — brought to life with vivid storytelling by narrator Aaron Sokalski. 
  A story of courage, enchantment, and the fierce power of loyalty… where even the smallest creature can change the fate of kingdoms.
