Birdwing
By Rafe Martin

Blurb
Once upon a time, a girl rescued her seven brothers from a spell that had turned them into swans. But one boy, Ardwin, was left with the scar of the spell's last gasp: one arm remained a wing. And while Ardwin yearned to find a place in his father's kingdom, the wing whispered to him of open sky and rushing wind.

Smiler's Bones
By Peter Lerangis

Blurb
In 1897, famed explorer Robert Peary took six Eskimos from their homes in Greenland to be "presented" to the American Museum of Natural History. Among the six were a father and a son. Soon, four were dead, including the father (whose bones, unbeknownst to the son, were put on display). One returned to Greenland. And the other -- the young boy -- remained, the only Eskimo in New York for twelve years.

Clockwork
By Philip Pullman

Kid Quote
A great book. I read it in class with my teacher and I wanted her to keep reading on but she kept stopping at cliff hangers. Philip Pullman's work is so enchanting and you feel you are in the place yourself.
