Thrown into a world that she has never known, alongside people that her former country's laws regarded as less than human, Melkorka is forced to learn quickly how to survive. Taking a vow of silence, however, she finds herself an object of fascination to her captors and masters, and soon realizes that any power, no matter how little, can make a difference. Based on an ancient Icelandic saga, award-winning author Donna Jo Napoli has crafted a heartbreaking story of a young girl who must learn to forget all that she knows and carve out a place for herself in a new world -- all without speaking a word. 751656 23 10 2007 Hush: An Irish Princess' Tale total:595|5:102|4:189|3:199|2:85|1:20| 595 2053 1210 171 5 2 false false Mon May 05 22:59:24 -0700 2008 Mon May 05 22:59:38 -0700 2008
