I Am a Feather By: Lorna Dickinson The world as you know it has gone. Destroyed by a virus so virulent people died where they fell, and skeletons are simply scattered across the ground. Now strangers have arrived and decided to build their home where yours once stood. You must choose; help or force them to leave. Your decision will change the future irrevocably. America, as we know it today, came precariously close to not existing; the tipping point was the arrival of one man, the much-travelled Squanto, who became the fragile link between a group of starving English refugees, Shakespeare’s London and the native population. Nearly 400 years later, Sir Ian McKellen is giving a lecture on Shakespeare in America, when a member of the audience shows him a signature that piques his interest. A few words on old parchment take him on a voyage back in time that completely overturns everything he thought he knew about the origins of Thanksgiving. A visually spectacular story, massive in scope that revisits the debate about refugees, not only from a historical perspective but around the very issues that confront us today. The decisions our ancestors made were not just a reaction to what they were confronted with in the here and now but of what they wanted to happen tomorrow. The Pilgrims had a very particular vision of the new world they wanted to create, and the clashes between the vastly different perspectives of natives and refugees had an enormous long-term impact. This book is based on detailed research and all the historical characters from 1620 are real people. This novel simply asks questions about Squanto's travels and how several hundred years of interaction between America and Europe prior to 1620 would have influenced the fate of the Pilgrim refugees.

Maybe the secret she's kept her whole life was meant to be discovered. Penelope Rosewood has always wanted to be normal. Born with the ability to fly, it's kind of hard to be anything but different. Penny's mother has warned her that letting her secret out could be dangerous. But this summer Penny is starting to believe that she's not the only one keeping secrets. Is something darker going on in Mount Robert? Sam Caleb has always wanted to be different. When his family moves from New York City to the countryside, it's a great opportunity to make a new reputation for himself. Sam is instantly drawn to the girl next door--the one with fear in her dark blue eyes. After discovering Penelope in flight, he can't turn away from the strange reality he's stumbled into. He realizes there's a lot more hidden behind her pretty face then he thought. While Penelope and Sam's friendship blossoms, more secrets surface. A man who seems to be stalking Penny, and a mysterious woman in a photo that her parents refuse to talk about --it's all just the beginning. As they uncover the horrifying truths, they realize how important it is to find peace in the unknown, and the strength it takes to find it.

The second Maisie Dobbs mystery Jacqueline Winspear’s marvelous debut, Maisie Dobbs, won her fans from around the world and raised her intuitive, intelligent, and resourceful heroine to the ranks of literature’s favorite sleuths. Birds of a Feather, its follow-up, finds psychologist and private investigator Maisie Dobbs on another dangerously intriguing adventure in London “between the wars.” It is the spring of 1930, and Maisie has been hired to find a runaway heiress. But what seems a simple case at the outset soon becomes increasingly complicated when three of the heiress’s old friends are found dead. Is there a connection between the woman’s mysterious disappearance and the murders? Who would want to kill three seemingly respectable young women? As Maisie investigates, she discovers that the answers lie in the unforgettable agony of the Great War.
