THE HARP OF THE GREY ROSE<br />
He is the Songweaver, but before he was<br />
a master of song he was merely Cerin of<br />
Wran Cheaping—a seventeen-year-old<br />
orphan raised by a wildland witch. Then<br />
he encountered the Maid of the Grey<br />
Rose—the lone survivor of the war that<br />
devastated the Trembling Lands and the<br />
promised bride of Yarac Stone-Slayer,<br />
the feared and terrible Waster. The mysterious<br />
beauty captured Cerin’s heart,<br />
drawing him into a world both dark and<br />
deadly, until, armed with only a tinkerblade<br />
and the magic of song, he would<br />
take on a man’s challenge…and choose<br />
a treacherous path toward a magnificent<br />
destiny.<br />

WAIFS AND STRAYS<br />
“Whether set in Ottawa, Bordertown, or<br />
the made-up city of Newton somewhere<br />
in North America, de Lint’s 16 stories<br />
evoke a sense of magic just beyond the<br />
ordinary world. His well-drawn characters<br />
are mostly outsiders whose lives are<br />
touched and changed by that often-elusive<br />
magic…a good introduction to his<br />
work.” —Booklist<br />

WOLF MOON<br />
“Fleeing from those who would destroy<br />
him for his shapeshifting nature, Kern<br />
Kindregan finds a home and security<br />
with the gentle folk of a wayside inn<br />
until a harper with malice in his song and<br />
hatred for ‘werewolves’ in his heart shatters<br />
Kern’s fragile peace. The author’s<br />
skill at reshaping old themes into new<br />
forms makes his latest novel a good<br />
choice for fantasy collections.” —Library<br />

DeVILLERS, JULIA<br />
HOW MY PRIVATE PERSONAL<br />
JOURNAL BECAME A BESTSELLER<br />
Formerly ordinary fourteen-year-old<br />
Jamie Bartlett isn’t so ordinary anymore.<br />
Ever since she wrote a story about<br />
Isabella (aka IS), the stereotype-defying,<br />
popular-girl-crushing super teen, Jamie’s<br />
life hasn’t been the same…..But will all of<br />
this attention go to Jamie’s head? Or will<br />
she take a lesson from IS and remember<br />
that there’s more to life than popularity?<br />
“DeVillers’ frothy, humorous first novel<br />
is a giddy fairy tale, written in a combination<br />
of diary excerpts, instant messages,<br />
and Jamie’s spot-on narration.” —Booklist<br />
