THE ELEPHANT KEEPERS' CHILDREN
HOEG, PETER
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Told from the precocious perspective of fourteen-year-old Peter, The Elephant Keepers' Children is about three
siblings and how they deal with life alongside their eccentric parents. Peter's father is a vicar, his mother is an
artisan, and both are equally and profoundly devout. The family lives on the (fictional) island of Finø, where
people of all religious faiths coexist peacefully. Yet, nothing is at it seems. When Peter's parents suddenly go
missing, Peter and his siblings fear the worst--has their parents' relentless quest to boost church attendance
finally put them in danger? Told with poignancy and humor, The Elephant Keepers' Children is a fascinating
exploration of fundamentalism versus spiritual freedom, the vicissitudes of romantic and familial love, and the
triumph of the human spirit.

ELMINSTER ENRAGED
GREENWOOD, ED
Commanded by the vestige of Mystra to work together, Manshoon and Elminster engage instead in a ferocious
battle that sends the Sage plummeting into the Underdark as a cloud of ashes. Elminster soon inhabits the body
of a fallen dark elf, so that he can begin carrying out Mystra's orders to rally Cormyr's Wizards of War, seek
blueflame items to mend immense rifts throughout the realms that are releasing deadly monsters, and prevent
the ancient Primordials from rising and unleashing their rage. But his sworn archenemy, Manshoon, has plans as
well: to conquer Cormyr and be the new Emperor, and hunt down the Sage's clones. The battles are fierce, the
stakes have never been higher, and the fate of Cormyr is on the line. Meanwhile, War Wizards are being
mysteriously assassinated . . .
