Kids On Strike!
Kids on Strike! tells the story of children who stood up for
their rights against powerful company owners, from a “turnout” in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1836 led by eleven-year-old
Harriet Hanson, to the dramatic strike of 1912 in Lawrence,
Massachusetts. By the early 1900s nearly two million children were in the U.S. work force. But after years and years of
working long hours every day under harsh and inhumane
conditions, children began to organize and make demands in
order to protect themselves. “The well-designed book, liberally illustrated with black-and-white archival photographs,
documents these events through the experiences of specific
children profiled in the lean, compelling text.”

Ghost Towns of the American West
If it is abandoned by all or most of its inhabitants, a settlement

large mercantile stores, and, ultimately, of short-lived dreams
of gold, fertile land, or simply a good place to call home.

Missy Violet and Me
The summer that Viney is eleven years old is extraordinary. It
takes her out of school and puts her under the wing of Missy
Violet, a well-loved midwife whose wise and warm ways
help teach Viney about the business of catchin’ babies. “This
appealingly nostalgic tale conveys the tenor of the time as
well as the affable narrator’s growth during one momentous
summer.” — Publishers Weekly
The Vanishing Point
In lush, glowing prose, Louise Hawes’s historical novel draws
readers into the life and art of sixteenth-century Bologna with
a compelling account of Lavinia Fontana, arguably the most
famous female painter of the Italian Renaissance. “Fans of historical fiction will lose themselves in Hawes’ sumptuously
evoked Renaissance Italy, and aspiring artists will respond
to Vini’s amazement at “how full of drawings the world is.”

The Story of Robin Hood
Morgy Makes His Move
Illustrated by Michael Chesworth
Morgy just moved from California to Massachusetts and he
has to contend with Ferguson, who’s older and seems to have
singled out Morgy to pick on. Ferguson is even there when
Morgy tries to learn how to play hockey, and he never misses a
chance to dump Morgy on the ice. And hockey becomes even
more humiliating when Morgy is demoted from the ten-andunders to the seven-and-unders, where he’s the oldest kid on
the team. Each day brings more things to get used to, from
weird Boston accents to surviving the blizzard of the century.
Gradually, though, Morgy begins to figure out life in Puckett
Corner and learns that he just might fit in after all. “A superbly
realized novel that is nonetheless universal: second- and thirdgrade readers from all over will enjoy watching Morgy make
his move.” — Horn Book

Fighting anti-Semitism, Rebecca comes to appreciate what

parents’ personal and spiritual sacrifices. “There’s no sentimentality in the characterization — even Rebecca’s dad surprises
her — and the history is well researched. Most compelling,
though, is Rebecca’s personal struggle with faith, friendship,
and loyalty.” — Booklist, ALA
One of the world’s experts on hammerhead sharks, marine
biologist Pete Klimley is fighting the stereotype of sharks as
primitive and vicious killers. Author Ken Mallory talked with
Pete Klimley and then traveled to tiny Cocos Island, 330 miles

Young Dinadan has no wish to do any of the knightly things

and writing ballads. But he was born to be a knight, and
knights, of course, have adventures. He learns that while minstrels sing of spectacular heroic deeds, honor is often found in
simpler, quieter ways. “Fans of the previous titles or Arthurian

The Lioness and Her Knight
The Squire’s Tale
Filled with broken promises, powerful enchantresses, unconventional sword fights, fierce and friendly lionesses, mysterious
knights, and damsels in and out of distress, The Lioness and
Her Knight proves itself as witty and adventuresome as the rest
of Gerald Morris’s tales from King Arthur’s court. “Once again,
Morris brilliantly re-animates an old story, keeping readers
engaged while gently, genially urging them to ruminate over
the truths at its heart.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred
Filled with rapier-sharp wit, jousting jocularity, and chuckleheaded knights, this is King Arthur’s court as never before
experienced. “Well-drawn characters, excellent, snappy dialogue, detailed descriptions of medieval life, and a dry wit put
a new spin on this engaging tale.” — Booklist, ALA

The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf
More Spice Than Sugar
Illustrated by Ann Boyajian
In this collection of poems celebrating high-spirited girls, you
will meet independent spirits, young rebels, hardy pioneers,
mavericks, athletes, and heroines, who dared difficult tasks and
who show the strength of the human spirit in the face of hardship. With considerably more spice than sugar, these poems
present the many faces of active, bold, brave, and sometimes
funny girls. Real girls.
Gerald Morris’s latest Arthurian novel is a highly comic tale
of hidden entities, mysterious knights, faeries and enchantments, damsels-in-distress, and true love. “A perfectly delicious, not entirely serious, reimagining of part of Thomas
Mallory’s Le Morte d’Arthur.” — Booklist

A Single Shard
Tree-ear, an orphan, has become fascinated with the potter’s
craft; he wants nothing more than to watch master potter Min
at work, and he dreams of making a pot of his own someday.
“Intrigues, danger and the same strong focus on doing what is
right turn a simple story into a compelling read . . . Tree-ear’s
story conveys a time and place far away and long ago, but with
a simplicity and immediacy that is both graceful and unpretentious. A timeless jewel.” — Kirkus Reviews, with pointers
When My Name Was Keoko

family movingly addresses life-and-death issues of courage
and collaboration, injustice, and death-defying determination in the face of totalitarian oppression.” — Kirkus Reviews,

Eureka!
American Folktales
Great Inventions and How They Happened
Illustrated by Jacqueline Mair
This handsome volume brings together eighteen American
stories from eleven states, all of which are based on traditional
tales of the European cultures that had the earliest influence on
this country — the British Isles, France, Spain, and Germany.
“A collection with a difference. Drawn from rare sources, these
eighteen stories and anecdotes, rooted in Europe but harvested
in America, and often from African-American tellers, are nearly
all surprising variants on familiar folktales.” — Booklist
Eureka! looks at the instances in which some of the world’s
greatest inventions were conceived and explains how creative
genius has enabled some individuals to look right through a
problem and come up with a solution that has eluded rivals.
From the excitement of Newton’s historic discovery of the
laws of gravity to the more recent creation of Teflon, this fascinating book illuminates an amazing variety of inventions,
as well as the moments of inspiration (and sometimes perspiration) behind them.

Caroline Arnold
Clarion Books
CAROLINE ARNOLD always loved books, but as a child she never thought of writing as a career. Born in Pittsburgh, she grew up in Minneapolis and studied art at Grinell College and the University of Iowa. “It was only
after my children were born that I became acquainted with children’s books and it occurred to me that I could use
my training to become a children’s book illustrator. I soon realized that I needed a text to go with the pictures, and
the more I wrote, the more I realized that I liked writing as much as or more than drawing. I’ve always been fascinated by the natural world and love to go to parks and museums. Perhaps that is why so many of my books are
about scientific topics.”
It is for these scientific works that she is best known, and she has received countless honors and awards for her
contributions to children’s literature. Caroline was also the honored recipient of the 2005 Washington Post–Children’s Book Guild Award for nonfiction for her body of work. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, a neuroscientist, and she teaches writing at UCLA Extension.

Marion Dane Bauer
Clarion Books
MARION DANE BAUER was an English teacher before she determined that writing wasn’t only meant to be a
part-time occupation. “More than thirty years ago, I finally decided it was time to take the writing that I had been
doing in the cracks of time—usually when I should have been cleaning the house—seriously. When I stumbled
onto the contemporary novel for young people, I knew I had found what I truly wanted to do. I sat down to try to
write one.”
Now Marion is the author of more than forty books for young people, including the 1987 Newbery Honor
book On My Honor. She is well known for her books on writing (Our Stories, What’s Your Story?) as well as her
unique animal novels (Runt, A Bear Named Trouble ). She has also returned to teaching part time for the MFA
program Writing for Children and Young Adults at Vermont College. Marion lives with her partner in Minnesota.

Karen Cushman
Clarion Books
KAREN CUSHMAN, author of the Newbery Honor book Catherine, Called Birdy and the Newbery Medal winner The Midwife’s Apprentice, has written six books for young people, all of which feature dynamic female lead
characters. Karen has a long-standing interest in history and chooses to tell the stories of common, everyday
young women from diverse places because, as she says, “I grew tired of hearing about kings, princes, generals,
presidents. I wanted to know what life was like for ordinary people in other times.” Karen’s “ordinary” heroines —
Catherine, Brat, Lucy, Matilda, Rodzina, and Francine—are strong-willed, spirited, and, ultimately, extraordinary individuals whose journeys of self-discovery are told with humor and imagination.
Karen was born in Chicago and moved to California with her family when she was ten. She now lives on
Vashon Island in Puget Sound with her husband, Philip, and is the mother of a grown daughter, Leah.

Stephanie Greene
Clarion Books
STEPHANIE GREENE is the author of the popular Owen Foote series, the novels Falling into Place and Show and
Tell, and the Sophie Hartley books. As the third of five children whose mother “sent us outside after breakfast and
only let us back in for dinner,” Stephanie spent many hours of her childhood in the rivers, woods, and trees that
made up her family’s three-acre backyard. She remembers childhood as a wonderful time, and memories of it
serve as constant inspiration for her books. Topics such as sibling rivalry (Queen Sophie Hartley), neighborhood
drama (Owen Foote, Super Spy), and a constant involvement with nature have all found a way into her stories.
Growing up as the daughter of children’s book author Constance C. Greene, Stephanie felt that books were an
intricate part of life—the writing of them, the reading of them, and the discussion of them. Born in New York
City and raised in Connecticut, Stephanie now lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Gerald Morris
Houghton Mifflin Books for Children
When GERALD MORRIS was in fifth grade he loved Greek and Norse mythology and before long was retelling
the stories to his younger sister and then to neighborhood kids. He began carrying a notebook in which he kept
some of the details related to the different stories. The joy he found in retelling those myths continued when he
discovered other stories.
According to Gerald Morris, “I never lost my love of retelling the old stories. When I found Arthurian literature, years later, I knew at once that I wanted to retell those grand tales. So I pulled out my notebook . . . I retell
the tales, peopling them with characters that I at least find easier to recognize, and let the magic of the Arthurian
tradition go where it will.”
Gerald Morris lives in Wausau, Wisconsin, with his wife and their three children.

Linda Sue Park
Clarion Books
Photo Credit: © Plymouth Photo Studio
LINDA SUE PARK is the Newbery Medal–winning author of A Single Shard, as well as five other acclaimed novels for young people and three Clarion picture books. Seesaw Girl, written in 1997 and published in 1999, was
Linda Sue’s first book and is set against the backdrop of seventeenth-century Korea. The Kite Fighters, A Single
Shard, and When My Name Was Keoko are also Korean historical fiction novels, while Project Mulberry and Archer’s
Quest deal with Korean history from contemporary perspectives. In an ALA Booklist article, Linda Sue spoke of
her writing as “the joy of finding connections,” adding, “the ultimate connection—for every adult—is that we
were all once children. That may be why when writers of adult works ask me why I write for children, I often
wonder why they don’t.”
The daughter of Korean immigrants, Linda Sue grew up outside of Chicago and began writing poems and stories at age four. She holds degrees in English literature from Stanford University, Trinity College, Dublin, and the
University of London. Linda Sue lives in Rochester, New York, with her husband, two children, and dog, named
Fergus.

Elizabeth George Speare
Houghton Mifflin Books for Children
Photo Credit: © Houghton Mifﬂin Company
“I was born in Melrose, Massachusetts, on November 21, 1908. I have lived all my life in New England, and
though I love to travel I can’t imagine ever calling any other place on earth home. Since I can’t remember a time
when I didn’t intend to write, it is hard to explain why I took so long getting around to it in earnest. But the years
seemed to go by very quickly. In 1936 I married Alden Speare and came to Connecticut. Not till both children
were in junior high did I find time at last to sit down quietly with a pencil and paper. I turned naturally to the
things which had filled my days and thoughts and began to write magazine articles about family living. Then one
day I stumbled on a true story from New England history with a character who seemed to me an ideal heroine.
Though I had my first historical novel almost by accident it soon proved to be an absorbing hobby.”
ELIZABETH GEORGE SPEARE (1908–1994) won the 1959 Newbery Medal for The Witch of Blackbird Pond,
and the 1962 Newbery Medal for The Bronze Bow. She also received a Newbery Honor Award in 1983, and in
1989 she was presented with the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award for her substantial and enduring contribution to
children’s literature.
