Hardcover

by Perry Nodelman

Coping with being poor during the Depression is hard enough, but Sally also has to contend with anti-Jewish sentiment when she ventures outside her familiar neighbourhood near Toronto''s Kensington Market. Her cousin Benny is always getting into scrapes or dragging Sally into his hare-brained schemes. But it''s also Benny who tries to open Sally''s eyes to the wider world, telling her about Hitler''s rise in Europe and urging her to stand up for herself when she comes across anti-Semitism. A historical note gives readers the background of the Depression, which hit Canada harder than most other countries. It also describes the way Jews were treated in Canada. Today''s readers might be surprised to know that there were people in Toronto who prided themselves on being part of The Swastika Club. A map, photographs and documents provide a visual context for the story. See Details

Trade Paperback

by Eric Walters

In conjunction with the Terry Fox Foundation, award-winning author Eric Walters brings Terry Fox and the Marathon of Hope to life for a whole new generation of young readers This first book for young readers about Terry Fox and the Marathon of Hope, written by one of Canada’s best-known writers for young adults, is a blending of fact and fiction, fully endorsed by The Terry Fox Foundation. Hundreds of thousands of young Canadians participate in the Terry Fox Run each year and this book will further enhance their knowledge of Terry’s epic journey. Run introduces a national hero to a new generation of readers. In his trademark page-turning style, Eric Walters, bestselling author of Trapped in Ice and Camp X , tells the story of Winston MacDonald. In trouble again after a suspension from school and a runaway attempt, Winston is sent to spend time with his father—a journalist who hasn’t been around much since his family split up a year ago. Travelling to Nova Scotia with his father, who is covering what he thinks is just a human interest story about a man trying to run across the country, Winston spends a day with Terry Fox and his best friend, Doug. Their determination to achieve what seems like an impossible goal makes a big impression on Winston, and he takes courage and inspiration from Terry’s run. He is overjoyed when his father’s article about the Marathon of Hope ignites public interest across the country. But when Winston discovers that his father’s next article about the Marathon of Hope will characterize Terry and Doug in an unflattering way, he is furious with his father and fearful of betraying his friends. Unsure of what to do or where to turn, Winston decides it is time to make a run for it himself... See Details

Winner of the 2005 TD Canadian Children''s Literature Award It is 1901 and Mable Riley dreams of adventure and of becoming a writer. When her older sister leaves home to become a schoolmistress in the small town of Stratford, Ontario, Mable is sent along too. Mable hopes her new world will be full of peril and romance. But life at the Goodhand Farm (where the sisters board), is as humdrum as the one she’s left behind. Then Mable encounters the mysterious Mrs. Rattle, a peculiar widow with a taste for upsetting the townspeople with her strange opinions. Mrs. Rattle is a real writer, and Mable eagerly accepts her invitation to a meeting of the Ladies Reading Society. But the ladies are not discussing books at all, and Mable may soon have more peril than she’d bargained for! Composed of the letters Mable sends home, the poems she writes for her classmates, and chapters from her own work-in-progress, Mable Riley is the funny, inspiring, (and reliable) record of a young girl finding her voice, and the courage to make it heard.

by Carol Matas

No one knows if it`s a family curse, or just plain old bad luck, but it seems as if the Barnett males are prone to dropping dead on the day before they turn thirty-five. Luckily, Molly and Adam’s mom has a plan: a getaway to the family’s low-stress, danger-free lakeside cottage. But even the best laid plans can go horribly wrong. First, Mom gets called into work and is forced to stay home. Then there’s the fact that Molly’s room has been turned into a storage space for her dead grandfather’s creepy old desk and papers. Finally, there’s the freak fall that leaves Molly and Adam’s dad with a badly twisted ankle. Everyone swears that the accident was Molly’s fault-that she was screaming out for help as she swam in the lake-but she knows this isn’t true. Things go from very bad to even worse when an odd nurse by the name of Reggie Crankshaft appears out of nowhere and offers his help. As Molly and Adam struggle to make sense of these strange events, and to keep their father safe, more questions than answers arise. What really happened down on the lake, and what was that strange white light that Molly saw just before her father fell? Who is Reggie Crankshaft and why is he so interested in their family? And what’s up with the figure that both Molly and Adam see sitting at the old desk in Molly’s room-a figure that bears a weird resemblance to their own dad? In The Proof That Ghosts Exist, the first installment of The Ghosthunters trilogy, Carol Matas and Perry Nodelman team up to deliver a rip-roaring ghost story complete with chills, thrills, mysteries, and more than a few laughs. It’s a combination that’s guaranteed to leave readers wanting more. Watch the book trailer for The Proof that Ghosts Exist on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw0ow7oQV7k See Details
