A dying girl gives a boy the strength to live in this lyrical novel that will break your heart and lift your spirit Peter Stone’s parents and siblings are extroverts, musicians, and yellers—and the louder they get, the less Peter talks, or even moves, until he practically fits his last name. When his family moves to the Texas Hill Country, though, Peter finds a tranquil, natural valley where he can, at last, hear himself think. There, he meets a girl his age: Annie Blythe. Annie tells Peter she’s a “wish girl.” But Annie isn’t just any wish girl; she’s a “Make-A-Wish Girl.” And in two weeks she will begin a dangerous treatment to try and stop her cancer from spreading. Left alone, the disease will kill her. But the treatment may cause serious, lasting damage to her brain. Annie and Peter hatch a plan to escape into the valley, which they begin to think is magical. But the pair soon discovers that the valley—and life—may have other plans for them. And sometimes wishes come true in ways they would never expect.

This memoir describes the emotional pain of growing up fatherless and reveals God’s amazing love at work to heal childhood hurts, even through circumstances of rejection. When author Maria Martinez was just three years old, she heard the word “illegitimate” for the fi rst time. Though she was too young to understanding its meaning as it applied to her, she knew it made her feel different and ashamed. In The Apple Tree Wish, Martinez discusses her life’s events being branded an illegitimate child. She also shows the healing and wholeness she received through Christ’s love and reconciliation with her father later in life. A two-part presentation, the first half delivers a transcript of a talk Martinez gave for a women’s group in 1992. In it, she narrates the events leading up to meeting her father in 1985, when she was forty-five years old. The second half contains a journal of the letters she wrote to and later shared with her father. In the journal she provides pertinent details of her life and shares her many emotions as she dealt with her unique situation. The Apple Tree Wish shows the emotional scars created by being a fatherless child, but also communicates that God’s love has the power to heal the classic types of childhood hurts.

A powerful novel about friendship and family that calls to mind Bridge to Terabithia Twelve-year-old John Fischer Jr., or “Little John” as he’s always been known, is spending his summer helping his father with his tree removal business, clearing brush for Mr. King, the wealthy owner of a chain of Texas dollar stores, when he hears a beautiful song that transfixes him. He follows the melody and finds, not a bird, but a young girl sitting in the branches of a tall sycamore tree. There’s something magical about this girl, Gayle, especially her soaring singing voice, and Little John’s friendship with Gayle quickly becomes the one bright spot in his life, for his home is dominated by sorrow over his sister’s death and his parents’ ever-tightening financial difficulties. But then Mr. King draws Little John into an impossible choice—forced to choose between his family’s survival and a betrayal of Gayle that puts her future in jeopardy. Inspired by a Hans Christian Andersen story, Nightingale's Nest is an unforgettable novel about a boy with the weight of the world on his shoulders and a girl with the gift of healing in her voice.

What does it really mean to be a "good person"? 10-year old Chloe Taylor has an unusual wish that she longs to come true. For haunted by a terrible secret that she has never dared to reveal, and tired of trying to be liked and loved, Chloe's wish is to feel good about herself, and to be freed from the guilt and shame that has clung to her for several years. The wish seems impossible until the day that word reaches Chloe about a mysterious, hollow-shaped "owl tree" in the wood stretching away from the back of her parents' garden. The owl tree, it is said, has the ability to make any wish come true. Upon finding the tree, however, the pursuit of Chloe's wish becomes even more complicated. For the tree is not prepared simply to grant the wish; rather, it sets Chloe a series of tasks that may, or may not, guide her to achieving it. The tasks take Chloe and her best friend, Harry, on a testing journey of "trial and error" that create clashes with their parents, siblings, schoolteachers and friends. But it is confronting her terrible secret that poses the greatest challenge for Chloe. Through tears, fears, triumphs and laughter, the children discover the hard way what it really means, and takes, to be "good." The answer, when it comes, is not at all what either of them, least of all Chloe, had expected. Although it was written without any knowledge of the same, this novel has a number of similarities in approach to the highly successful book and film 'A Monster Calls' by Patrick Ness. It is a heart-warming, life-affirming and enjoyable exploration of difficult topics that many children are called upon to navigate as they grow up, and it is designed to make that navigation a little easier.
