FAR TRAVELER
“In this sequel to The Edge on the Sword
which ended as King Alfred’s daughter,
Æthelflæd, was about to marry Ethelred
of Mercia, Tingle moves a few years
forward to tell of Æthelflæd’s 16-yearold
daughter, Ælfwyn…This compelling
novel is filled with well-researched
details, an action-packed plot, and
well-drawn and sympathetic characters.
Tingle is a worthy successor to Rosemary
Sutcliff, sharing her ability to make
British history come to life for modern
readers.” —School Library Journal

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

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