AWEIGH ON A WINDJAMMER
No lad was ever greener than Dick Dykstra as he set out across the African veldt for Cape Town, signing on for his first cruise aboard an English merchantman. In the years that follow, as a seafaring man in “Down-under,” he learns the give and take of the men who sail the seven seas.

Join his adventures as he sails from Cape Town to Liverpool and on to New Zealand’s Half Moon Bay. Facing unexpected dangers and growing responsibilities, Dick is challenged by the harsh realities of the sea, from hunting whales and panning for gold to surviving abandonment on the Macquarie Islands thanks to mutton birds. And all because of a ship in a bottle!

From Nan Denker, the author of The Bound Girl. For readers aged 11 and older.

NEW TITLE!
Star Island: A novel of the Maine Coast
by Louise Dickinson Rich

Eleven-year-old Larry Scott was an orphan—a ward of the state. All his life he had lived in one foster home after another, with little hope of staying anywhere permanently. But now the worst had happened. He, with a group of other foster children, had been sent to an island off the Maine coast. What would he do on an island? And why did the islanders want so many children at once?

He was determined not to like his new home, but gradually he found himself being won over to the island people and their ways.

His sudden discovery of the reason for the children's presence on Star Island dealt a cruel blow to his growing trust and contentment. How he met his problems and found his own place, where he felt needed and wanted, makes for a story full of exciting incidents—a story with all the salty tang of its ocean background.

“Knowing that this new set of foster parents will use and discard him (all the others did), Larry Scott (at eleven) distrusts the system but knows survival techniques, so he’s not taking any of that “Aunt Em and Uncle Joe” business to heart. Expecting little from the sparsely inhabited island a few miles off the Maine coast, he is agreeably surprised by genuine warmth and affection, never misses television or the telephone as he is busy with school and learning the lobster fisherman trade with pride and pleasure. Anticipation of each day turns to apprehension as summer approaches: he is so reluctant to face another session of good-byes that he leaves at night to avoid the confrontation. Assured by Uncle Joe that he has wrongly interpreted an unfinished speech, he returns to Aunt Em, bolstered by the idea of a permanent home. Smooth but not sleek, direct but not obvious, firm but not harsh.” Kirkus Reviews

"Homer’s two great epic poems, The Iliad and The�O dyssey, both tell of happenings connected with�the long war between the Greeks and the Trojans; but whereas The Odyssey is concerned with the adventures�of one of the Greek heroes after the war was over, The Iliad�relates incidents which took place in the ninth year of the�siege of Troy: Achilles’ quarrel with Agamemnon, his love�for Patroclus, his friend, and how he avenged him.

Homer made his poems about three thousand years ago —at least four hundred years after Troy had fallen—and those for whom he made them would already have been familiar with the story and its characters. It was one of the great tales of their past, telling of the deeds of the heroes of the Greek people and of gods and goddesses they worshipped. Therefore, Homer wastes no time in giving the background to his story, but starts immediately with the quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon, certain that his hearers will know both who they were and why they were besieging Troy.

It is different for us, three thousand years later, and so, in a prologue, I have set down the events which led up to the war of the Greeks with Troy; and, after Homer’s tale of pride and love and vengeance is done, I have told briefly, in an epilogue, of the ending of the war and the fate of some of those who took part in it."

Rose of England by Hilda Lewis

Mary, the youngest sister of Henry VIII, is the loveliest and most attractive personality of all the Tudors. With all the striking looks—the golden hair and blue eyes—which marked the family, she had their brilliance, too. What she lacked was the coldness and the calculation in the grain of the Tudor character.

The man on whom she set her heart was Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. Brave and handsome, he had a way with women and was so well in favor with Henry VIII that they called him the `second king'. Henry, however, had no mind that his sister—the vital pawn in his continental marriage game—should marry a mere subject and disrupt his diplomatic plans. Mary knew her duty to her country, and to her brother as her King, but she knew the strength of passion, too.

The "Rose of England" is the first in a two-book series about Mary Tudor. The second is "Heart of a Rose".
