Lizzie and the Lost Baby
by Cheryl Blackford"...the prose is precise, direct, and accessible, vividly calling up the drizzly fog and green pastures of the countryside without falling victim to overwrought descriptions. Lizzie&’s questioning of the decision-making of the adults around her will likely appeal to young readers learning that being grown up does not necessarily translate to being wise." —Bulletin "This tale will capture the minds of middle-grade readers and leave them wanting to find out more about World War II and treatment of children during this time, as well as treatment of the Gypsies in England." —VOYA "Blackford alludes throughout to The Secret Garden, Lizzie&’s favorite book, and this promising novel has a similar setting and thought-provoking plot written in simple but affecting language." —Publishers Weekly "A satisfying chapter book with a well-realized historical setting and a stout-hearted heroine." —Booklist "Blackford¹s straight-to-the-heart prose brings a Yorkshire village and its inhabitants lovingly to life in this sweet and tender story. It¹s impossible not to be smitten with Lizzie, who not only finds a lost baby, but courage, friendship, justice, and a way forward in her new life." —Margi Preus, New York Timesbest-selling author and Newbery Honor winner of Heart of a Samurai "Familiar and inviting, Lizzie and the Lost Baby is the sort of book that feels like a friend." —Caroline Starr Rose, author of May B and Blue Birds "Inspiring and unfailingly honest. Written in authentic language and poetic prose, Ms. Blackford¹s gripping story is one that young readers everywhere will long remember." —Eileen Beha, author of The Secrets of Eastcliff-by-the-Sea "Empowering..Blackford masterfully brings this era to life in this simple, yet compelling story. A delightful read!" —Mary Casanova, author of The Klipfish Code "The kind of book I would have gulped down as a kid. With beautiful language and cultural and emotional complexity, Blackford brings us two characters who, when failed by adults, must navigate their own moral pathways. Love this book!" —Pat Schmatz, author of Bluefish —
Lizzie's Carefree Years: The Buggy Spoke Series, Book 3 (Buggy Spoke Series)
by Linda BylerBestselling Amish novelist Linda Byler’s third book in the Buggy Spoke series for young readersLizzie is nine years old now and adjusting her new home in Jefferson County. There’s so much to get used to—a new school, new friends, new ways of dressing and speaking. Mostly Lizzie loves her new life, but it’s not easy getting used to so many changes at once. Perhaps the hardest part is growing up itself. Suddenly her older sister Emma expects Lizzie to “act her age,” but what does that even mean? Is it wrong to want to splash in slush puddles, play games with friends, and run through the woods? Lizzie wants to be a good girl, but it’s confusing to know when it’s ok to have fun, how she should pray, and why she still does naughty things. Mam and Dat seem to have enough money now—there’s plenty of food and the kids even get extra special Christmas gifts. Mam smiles more and Dat seems more relaxed. But when Lizzie and Emma wake up to a room full of smoke, they realize danger can strike even when things feel the most secure. Will their new community come to their aid after the fire? And why does God allow such scary things to happen? This is the third book in the Buggy Spoke series, which follows Lizzie through her tumultuous teenage years as she struggles to mesh her hot temper and willful ways with her Amish faith. These books are the prequels to Linda Byler’s bestselling Lizzie Searches for Love Trilogy and are geared to a younger audience (ages 8–10). Reminiscent of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House series, these books are delightful accounts of another way of life; each chapter is filled with vivid descriptions of Amish food, farms, and traditions. The series explores themes of respecting parents, not fitting in, sibling rivalry, recognizing your own shortcomings and gifts, and reconciling a strong personality with an abiding faith.
Lizzy and the Good Luck Girl
by Susan LubnerTold with humor and heart, this is a middle grade story about family, friendship, and hope--plus cats in sweaters!Living in the small town of East Thumb, Maine, upstairs from her family's diner, twelve-year-old Lizzy Sherman searches for signs to guide her and perhaps guarantee her a bump-free path through life. She pays attention to the clouds in the sky, the ice cubes in her water, the heart-shaped puddle of the juice her friend spilled. If only she can figure out what the signs are trying to tell her, she'll know what to do next. When Lizzy and her best friend go searching for a stray cat and find a runaway girl instead, they want to help. And when Lizzy notices a tiny four-leaf clover tattooed on the girl's hand, she knows it's a sign. Lizzy hides the girl inside her bedroom closet, convinced the girl will be able to protect Lizzy's family from tragedy. But signs can be tricky, and what the girl has to offer may be more valuable that luck.
