    <![CDATA[Of all the revelations her afterlife brings, perhaps the most  startling thing Cassie Devlin discovers is that being dead isn’t  being done. Murdered by a classmate, Cassie finds herself stuck  on the edges of the world she once knew and a realm whose tug  she feels but can’t quite find her way to. And . . . she is not alone.  There’s another like her, someone who arrived earlier and who,  like Cassie, has some unfinished business. Beautifully crafted in  electrifying free verse, Dead on Town Line offers teens an emotionally  provocative, can’t-put-it-down reading experience that  will linger long after the last page is turned.]]>

    <![CDATA[The journey begins for a young immigrant named Miss Bridie. It is a journey of hope and uncertainty, a journey that will take her to a new land, a new home, and—if she has chosen wisely—a good life.  	With elegant woodcuts, Caldecott medalist Mary Azarian brings to life Leslie Connor&quot;s spare story of a life rich with blessings, yet not without challenges. Here is a lyrical tribute to the millions of immigrants who left their homes to begin anew in America—and an enchanting look at how one woman carves out a life with the help of a common shovel.]]>
