Journey's End
by Rachel HawkinsNew York Times bestselling author Rachel Hawkins brings us a riveting middle grade fantasy-adventure, perfect for fans of Lisa Graff. The town of Journey's End may not literally be at the end of the world, but it sure feels like it to Nolie Stanhope. Spending the summer with her scientist father in the tiny Scottish village isn't exactly Nolie's idea of a good time, but she soon finds a friend: native Journey's Ender Bel McKissick. While Nolie's father came to Journey's End to study the Boundary--a mysterious fog bank offshore--Bel's family can't afford to consider it a threat. The McKissick's livelihood depends on the tourists drawn by legends of a curse. Still, whether you believe in magic or science, going into the Boundary means you'll never come back. ...Unless you do. Albert Etheridge, a boy who disappeared into the Boundary in 1914, suddenly returns--without having aged a day and with no memory of the past hundred years. Then the Boundary starts creeping closer to the town, threatening to consume everyone within. While Nolie's father wants to have the village evacuated, Bel's parents lead the charge to stay in Journey's End. Meanwhile, Albert and the girls look for ways to stop the encroaching boundary, coming across an ancient Scottish spell that requires magic, a quest, and a sacrifice.From the Hardcover edition.

Journeys: Prose by Children of the English-speaking World
by Richard LewisJourneys is a companion volume to Richard Lewis’ widely and warmly acclaimed anthol- ogy, Miracles: Poems by Children of the English-speaking World, published in 1966 (see back of jacket). Both collections are intended not as a sampling of precociousness but as a testament to the stunning range of artistry and vision which children demonstrate when given the unfettered opportunity to write. Here, in scores of extraordinary stories, essays, fantasies, descriptions, are the authentic and natural voices of children. The vigorous, uninhibited sense of language, the often startling choice of sound and image, the direct, intuitive thrust to the heart of the matter reveal the excitement, wonder and rich imaginative power through which children view the world and express their own emotions and ideas. The children, whose ages range from four to fourteen, come from an enormous variety of backgrounds in nine countries where English is spoken: the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, India, Ghana, Liberia, Great Britain and Ireland. With the assistance of UNESCO, and drawing upon the resources he developed during a year-long round-the-world tour and through his own continuing experience in the classroom, Richard Lewis collected more than 4,500 examples of prose by children and chose the very best for Journeys.
