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.

Journey: My Story of Migration (I, Witness #0)
by Luis Onofre ValenciaA young writer opens a window for young readers on his experiences crossing the US/Mexico border and his life as an undocumented immigrant. When Luis Onofre Valencia was five years old, his father lost his business and was forced to leave Mexico for the United States to find work. Devastated, Luis and his family struggled to keep afloat. When his father asked them to join him in the US, Luis journeyed by truck for several weeks, separate from his family members, who traveled on foot. When the family reunited in Anaheim, Luis faced an entirely new struggle: adapting to a new city and a new culture that did not look kindly on him. With a voice that is both accessible and engaging, Luis brings forward an empowering first-person account of a young man finding strength in his identity, and using this strength to become a community leader, a police intervention activist, and an advocate for mental health.

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.
