which ended as King Alfred’s daughter,<br />

of Mercia, Tingle moves a few years<br />

TURNER, MEGAN WHALEN<br />
THE THIEF<br />
Because of his bragging—and his great<br />
skill at thievery—Gen lands in the King’s<br />
Prison, shackled to the wall of his cell.<br />
After months of isolation, Gen is released<br />
by none other than the King’s Scholar,<br />
the Magus, who believes he knows the<br />
site of an ancient treasure. The Magus<br />
needs the best thief in the land to help<br />
him steal it, and that thief is Gen. But<br />
Gen is a survivor and a trickster—and he<br />
has ideas of his own. “To miss this thief’s<br />
story is a crime.” —Bulletin of the Center<br />
for Children’s BooksH<br />

ANNE FRANk: BEYOND THE DIARY<br />
A Photographic Remembrance<br />
Anne Frank lived a life filled with the<br />
enthusiasms and hopes shared by many<br />
young women coming into adulthood.<br />
But the times Anne lived in and wrote<br />
of in her diary made her simple life<br />
extraordinary. In over one hundred photographs,<br />
many which have never been<br />
published, this poignant memoir brings<br />
to life the harrowing story of one young<br />
Jewish woman’s struggle to survive during<br />
a period of history which must never<br />
be forgotten. “All libraries will want<br />
this: for classroom units studying the<br />
Holocaust, for kids reading the diary, for<br />
everyone who remembers it.”<br />
