A Chanukah NoelATrueStoryby Sharon Jennings and illustrated by Gillian Newland

A young Jewish girl is fascinated by the traditions of Christmas

When Charlotte and her family move to France, there is a lot to adjust to. Because she can’t speak French, Charlotte is put in the lowest grade, which she doesn’t like. The milk and cheese they eat smells like the farmyard, which Charlotte doesn’t like either. And what she dislikes the most is when Colette, a girl in her class, calls her a “foreigner.”

Things brighten as the holidays approach and Charlotte becomes fascinated by the preparations being made for Christmas — “Noël” in French. But much to Charlotte’s disappointment, her mother tells her that this holiday is not for their family, they will have Chanukah instead.

When Charlotte learns that Colette’s family will miss Christmas too, not because they are Jewish but because they are poor, she puts aside her hurt feelings and convinces her parents that they should give Christmas to Colette’s family, as a gift.

The small French village and its engaging inhabit-ants are brought vividly to life in this charmingly illustrated picture book with a message of curios-ity, empathy, and friendship.

“Subtle, wise, and energetic, an honest picture of childhood perceptions.”—Quill & Quire on Home Free (2009)

Teen FictionAges 12+ISBN: 978-1-897187-80-7 $11.95Paperback, 264 pages, 5.5”x8.25”October 2010

To Ellen Manery, a brilliant, socially isolated fifteen-year-old, there is nothing good about the summer of 1967, especially when her parents decide to move to a small town in the interior of British Columbia. It seems that none of the big ideas of the decade — the civil rights movement, the sexual revolution, women’s rights — have had much of an effect on this small community.

Ellen has always been more interested in studying than a social life, but that begins to change when she meets Tony Paul, an eighteen-year-old boy from the nearby Shuswap Indian reserve. Despite the difference in their backgrounds, the two become good friends.

It is Tony’s friendship that gives Ellen the strength to endure the loneliness, racism, and discrimination she must face during her last year in high school. But as their friendship turns into something deeper, they must decide if they can break free of the small minds around them and forge their own future.

The Way It Isby Donalda Reid

It may be the ‘60s, but two teens find that change is slow in coming to their small British Columbia town

Old Photographsby Sherie Posesorski

Summer vacation turns into a real-life mystery tale for a teen detective

Teen FictionAges 12+ISBN: 978-1-897187-78-4 $10.95Paperback, 224 pages, 5.5”x8.25”September 2010

Fourteen-year-old Phoebe Hecht is slowly making her way through the long, boring days of summer vacation. It doesn’t help that her mom’s marriage to a wealthy heart surgeon means that they’ve left their old, comfortable lives behind — so much so that her mom now seems ashamed at the merest mention of their humble beginnings. Now they live in a fancy Toronto neighborhood, and the one friend Phoebe’s made at her new school, Yuri Kimura, has gone to Tokyo for the summer. The only thing getting Pheobe through the summer is her obsession with Agatha Christie mysteries and her covert spying on Colin, her crush who works at the local grocery store.

A chance meeting with an elderly neighbor named Mrs. Tomblin changes everything and brings all Phoebe’s interests together. When Mrs. Tomblin is robbed and assaulted she can’t remember anything about what happened, because she is in the early stages of dementia. It is up to Phoebe and Colin to try and solve the mystery of the robbery. Could Mrs. Tomblin’s collection of old photographs be at the center of the puzzle? about the author

It is springtime 1937 in the small city of Sosnowiec, Poland. Twelve-year-old Miriam and her young brother, David, live with their grandparents after they lose their parents. Miriam is devastated to learn that their grandparents can no longer support them and that David must go to an orphanage.

Miriam decides to rescue David so that they might become a family again. When she learns that David is being forced to work doing a dangerous task in a factory by the unscrupulous orphanage director, Miriam realizes that rescuing him will not be as easy as she thought.

The true story of a Jewish family’s fight to regain a symbol of their lost life, Restitution begins in Prague on the eve of the Nazi invasion.

When peace returned to Europe, Marie fought for the return of the paintings, only to be thwarted by the Communist regime. Hope sparked again in 1989 when Marie’s son, Karl Reeser, received a letter say-ing the paintings were his if he could retrieve them. Fate intervened with an unlikely savior named Richard VandenBosch, an official at the Canadian Embassy. Together, he and Karl manage to retrieve the paintings and secrete them in the embassy. How to get the paintings to Canada is solved by a resourceful art dealer and smuggler named Theofil Kral, whose honest desire to help the Reeser family restore a symbol of their vanished life sees the four paintings returned to them at last.

In the summer of 1900, a meteorite lands on the day of Peg Staynor’s baptism, barely missing the small church in rural Ontario. This, along with Peg’s almost colorless eyes, is enough to resurrect a local superstition that will haunt Peg and her family for years.

It will take the terrible reality of the First World War to shake off the grip of old world beliefs.

TheSongweavers:TheThirdBookofthenotherlandJourneysby Kathleen McDonnell

“A challenging novel for those children who appreciate different forms of literature and the interplay of symbols and imagery.” —CM Magazine

“An imaginatively powerful recreation of this unforgettable historical moment.” —Quill & Quire A gripping moral drama vividly set within the Crusades era.

Fifteen-year-old Peggy is trying to run away from her problems at home when she finds herself thrust back into a long-forgotten fantasy world called Notherland.

When 16-year-old Peggy is abruptly transported to the imaginary world of Notherland, she learns that Mi, a spirit-child of the northern lights, has gone looking for a mythical “shining world.” Fearing for her safety, Peggy and three companions set out to find her.

“An engaging and fast-paced read that draws you into a futuristic world...satisfying for adults and teens alike.” —Monday Magazine (Victoria)

“Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake for young adults…Recommended.” —CM Magazine

Orphan Meryl sets out in search of the mythical Avalon because she wants to be a great bard, like her mother was. An intriguing fantasy springing from Celtic myth.
