Zen
Shorts
by Jon J Muth
"Michael," said Karl. "There's a really big bear in the
backyard." This is how three children meet Stillwater, a giant
panda who moves into the neighborhood and tells amazing tales. To
Addie he tells a story about the value of material goods. To
Michael he pushes the boundaries of good and bad. And to Karl he
demonstrates what it means to hold on to frustration. With
graceful art and simple stories that are filled with love and
enlightenment, Jon Muth -- and Stillwater the bear -- present
three ancient Zen tales that are sure to strike a chord
in everyone they touch.
The
Sea of Trolls
by Nancy Farmer
Three time Newbery honor author Nancy Farmer's epic
fantasy, The Sea of Trolls, is gigantic in every way.
There are big Vikings and bigger trolls.
There are big themes--hope, despair, life and death. At a
substantial 450+ pages, the sheer size of this hefty tome is
impressive. But, like all of Farmer's fine work, the large scale
has room for enormous quantities of heart and humor. At the center
of this massive adventure is a small Saxon boy named Jack, who's
never been much good at anything until the Bard of his medieval
village makes him an apprentice. Then, just as Jack is learning to
tap into and control his power, he is kidnapped (along with his
little sister, Lucy) and taken to the court of King Ivar
the Boneless and his half troll queen Frith. When one of
Jack's amateur spells causes the evil queen's beautiful hair to
fall out, he is forced to undertake a dangerous quest across the
Sea of Trolls to make things right, or suffer the
consequences--the sacrifice of his beloved sister to Frith's
patron goddess, Freya. Along the way Jack faces everything from
giant golden troll-bears to man-eating spiders, yet each
frightening encounter brings wisdom and understanding to the
budding young...

Black
Ships Before Troy The Story of The Iliad
by Rosemary Sutcliff, Alan Lee
Homer's epic poem, The Iliad, is one
of the greatest adventure stories of all time. Rich with arresting
imagery and memorable characters, its powerful metaphors still
permeate modern culture. This brilliant retelling offers young
readers an exciting introduction to the heroes of ancient
Greece while providing the complete story of the battle
of Troy. The legendary beauty, Helen, is abducted,
leading to a decade-long conflict in which even the gods and
goddesses take sides and intervene. This is the Trojan War,
where the most valiant heroes of the ancient world are pitted
against one another. Here Hector, Ajax, Achilles,
and Odysseus meet their most formidable challenges and
in some cases, their tragic ends. Rosemary Sutcliff makes such
extraordinary stories as those of the Trojan horse, of Aphrodite
and the golden apple, and of the fearsome warrior women,
the Amazons, accessible to contemporary young people.
Superb illustrations enhance the story's dramatic appeal.
