Celtic Moon
by Jan DelimaLike father, like son... Sophie Thibodeau has been on the run from the father of her son for more than fifteen years. Now her son, Joshua, is changing, and her greatest fears are about to be realized. He's going to end up being just like his father--a man who can change into a wolf. Dylan Black has been hunting for Sophie since the night she ran from him--an obsession he cannot afford in the midst of an impending war. Dylan controls Rhuddin Village, an isolated town in Maine where he lives with an ancient Celtic tribe. One of the few of his clan who can still shift into a wolf, he must protect his people from the Guardians, vicious warriors who seek to destroy them. When Sophie and Dylan come together for the sake of their son, their reunion reignites the fierce passion they once shared. For the first time in years, Dylan's lost family is within his grasp. But will he lose them all over again? Are Joshua and Sophie strong enough to fight alongside Dylan in battle? Nothing less than the fate of his tribe depends on it...
Celtic Myth in Contemporary Children’s Fantasy: Idealization, Identity, Ideology (Critical Approaches to Children's Literature)
by Dimitra FimiThis book examines the creative uses of "Celtic" myth in contemporary fantasy written for children or young adults from the 1960s to the 2000s. Its scope ranges from classic children's fantasies such as Lloyd Alexander's The Chronicles of Prydain and Alan Garner's The Owl Service, to some of the most recent, award-winning fantasy authors of the last decade, such as Kate Thompson (The New Policeman) and Catherine Fisher (Darkhenge). The book focuses on the ways these fantasy works have appropriated and adapted Irish and Welsh medieval literature in order to highlight different perceptions of "Celticity. " The term "Celtic" itself is interrogated in light of recent debates in Celtic studies, in order to explore a fictional representation of a national past that is often romanticized and political.

Cenotaph Road
by Robert E. VardemanThe tale is told, if you lie down in the crypt of a long-dead hero, when the moon is full and the clock strikes midnight, you will be transported ... elsewhere. Dar-elLan-Martak hoped the tale was true. Unjustly accused of murder by the gray soldiers his world had come to know and hate. Lan desperately needed to go elsewhere before the sheriff's spells reduced him to nothingness. Carrying only his sword and a small knowledge of magic, Lan "walked" the Cenotaph Road. What he found on the other side only increased his desire for vengeance: an arachnid assistant, more paths down the Cenotaph Road, and gray soldiers in every world ...
Census: A Novel
by Jesse BallAfter a devastating revelation, a father and son journey across a tapestry of towns in award–winning author Jesse Ball’s thought-provoking novel Census.When a widower learns he doesn’t have long left to live, he wonders who will care for his adult son whom he fiercely loves—a son with Down syndrome. With no recourse in mind and a desire to see the country, the man becomes a census taker for a mysterious governmental bureau and takes his son on the trip. Traveling into the country, through towns named only by ascending letters of the alphabet, father and son encounter a wide range of human experience. While some townspeople welcome them into their homes, others who bear the physical brand of past censuses on their ribs are wary of their presence. Pressing toward the edges of civilization, the landscape grows wilder, and the towns grow farther apart and more blighted by industrial decay. As they approach “Z,” the man confronts a series of questions: What is the purpose of the census? Is he complicit in its mission? And just how will he learn to say good-bye to his son? Mysterious and evocative, Census is a novel about free will, grief, the power of memory, and the ferocity of parental love. “A vital testament to selfless love; a psalm to commonplace miracles; and a mysterious evolving metaphor. So kind, it aches.” —David Mitchell“[Jesse Ball] has combined Kafka’s paranoia with Whitman’s earnest American grain to found a fictional kingdom of genial doom and melancholia.” —New York Times“Truly otherworldly writing in the best ways that Borges and Calvino have shown to be possible.” —Forbes
