  Rosanne Parry, acclaimed author of A Wolf Called Wander and Heart of a Shepherd, shines a light on Native American tribes of the Pacific Northwest in the 1920s, a time of critical cultural upheaval. 
   
   
   
  Pearl has always dreamed of hunting whales, just like her father. Of taking to the sea in their eight-man canoe, standing at the prow with a harpoon, and waiting for a whale to lift its barnacle-speckled head as it offers its life for the life of the tribe. But now that can never be. Pearl's father was lost on the last hunt, and the whales hide from the great steam-powered ships carrying harpoon cannons, which harvest not one but dozens of whales from the ocean. With the whales gone, Pearl's people, the Makah, struggle to survive as Pearl searches for ways to preserve their stories and skills.

  Can good girls read banned books? 
   
  Rose is a good girl. She listens to her parents and follows every rule. After all, rules are there for a reason … right? And adults always know best. 
   
  Talia, the new girl from New York City, doesn’t think so. After only a week at school, Talia—who does what she wants, when she wants—is already making enemies. First on the list: Charlotte, Rose’s lifelong best friend. 
   
  So why can’t Rose stop wondering what it would be like to be Talia’s friend? And why does Rose read a banned book that Talia recommends? Rose doesn’t know. But the forbidden book makes her ask questions she’s never thought of. When Talia suggests they start a banned books club, how can Rose say no? 
   
  Pushing against her parents, her school, and even Charlotte opens a new world for Rose.  
   
  But when Talia’s escapades become more scary than exciting, Rose must decide when it’s right to keep quiet and when it’s time to speak out. 
   
  “Book banning is the catalyst for this powerful story about friendship, identity, and self-discovery. Through her engaging and complex middle school characters, Young deftly tackles how to bridge the divisions that can tear us apart while still standing up for what we believe.”—KATHERINE MARSH, National Book

  The Apocrypha is a word of Greek origin, meaning “to hide away,” “obscure” or “things that are hidden," and is the name that has been given to a group of texts found in some versions of the Old Testament recorded by Jewish writers. 
  Found inside the Greek Septuagint, some are believed to predate Christ they are considered to be canon scriptures by some churches but have been rejected by the Protestant denominations. 
  Now, in this book, The Apocrypha, you will find all of these ancient texts, along with three other books which offer insights into the Christian faith that were once thought to be lost, including The Book of Enoch, The Book of Jubilees and The Book of Jasher. Each of these offers the reader a look at certain events in Christian history and together form a unique account of well known events from a different perspective. 
  Perfect for students of biblical times but also written for general readership and those who have a passing interest in the book’s history and place within Christian thinking, The Apocrypha makes complex texts more generally accessible to the average reader. 
  Including more than 15 hidden books:1&2 EsdrasAdditions to Esther1&2 MaccabeesTobiasJudithWisdom of SolomonEcclesiasticus or Son of SirachBaruchEpistle of JeremiahPrayer of AzariahPrayer of ManassehBel and the Dragon...And much much more!

He’ll be bringing his best pal, Margo, and his loyal fishmate, Albee, on a clingy-clam and hot dog filled adventure.
