Book Description
The fifth book in the series that began with the Newbery Medal–winning Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan. Jack leans back on Grandfather's shoulder. Aunt Mattie's knitting needles click in the dark. The moon rises. The candle flickers in the gentle prairie wind. I close my eyes to keep everything there. Could anything be more perfect than a prairie wedding? Cassie Witting doesn't think so, for her sister Anna's wedding brings two lovebirds together, aunts from faraway Maine, a long white dress with a wedding veil, dancing under a clear blue sky, and a world that smells of roses. As the Witting family comes together for this most special day, Cassie sees that life brings the change of seasons, brother Jack on Grandfather's lap, joy, sorrow, and a special dance only Grandfather does.

Book Description
‘I never see my father. My father never sees me. But I see with the eyes he gave me. Slanted like the wings of gulls flying in the sky. And, when my mother speaks of Mexico, her eyes mist up with the lights of memory.’ Through young Mai’s eyes, life is enchanting and full of beauty. She dances on her grandfather’s feet while he talks of freedom. But the world is hard and her mother is struggling. When Rashid arrives, he casts a deep shadow over their lives. Nothing is beyond her new stepfather. They are desperate to escape from him, and their world becomes a constant battle for survival – one of fleeing, multiple identities, abduction and upheaval. Mai’s eyes not only witness the story of her mother, but also the poignant stories of the many women she encounters across different countries. Finally, Mai learns that, when freedom comes, it comes at a bitter price. From Mexico to Scotland to London to North Africa, the West Indies and back again, Glowfly Dance is a powerful and haunting story of migration, resilience and, ultimately, hope.

Book Description
A brilliantly funny, heartwarming short story: essential reading for all fans of This Thirtysomething Life and the perfect introduction to Harry and Emily for newcomers. Before Harry and Emily were thirtysomethings on the cusp of parenthood, they were twentysomethings on the brink of marriage. Set during the build up to their wedding, this is the story of why Harry started a diary and how - in typical Harry fashion - he almost didn't make it down the aisle. Just as hilarious and heartwarming as This Thirtysomething Life, this short story is told with unflinching honesty and laugh-out-loud accuracy and gives an insight into just-about-to-be-married madness in all its messy, human, uplifting, feel-good glory. Though you may never look at your father-in-law in quite the same way again . . .

Book Description
There comes a day in a young child's life when the gift of childhood's magic begins to fade. A new firm voice of reason says that the fantastical, the miraculous, are not real and the belief in them is foolish. At that moment, the lights of the world dim, there is a deep sadness in a child's heart that goes largely unnoticed...unless he is lucky enough to have a magical grandpa who knows that a child's way of seeing is the soul's way of seeing. Journey with a boy and his beloved grandpa to the banks of the beautiful Ipswich River as they undertake a mission to see if an old fisherman's tale is true, if the catfish that live deep in the river's still pools really do come out to dance by the light of the full moon. Join them as the grandfather gives to his grandson the gift his own grandfather gave to him-keeping the sacred treasure of the magical as he grows into the real world.
