Road to Underfall
by Mike JefferiesWillow felt his fear melt away and a great excitement bubbled up inside him. Nothing like this had ever happened in any of the Elders' stories. He blinked his large round eyes and the Warhorse disappeared. He searched the shadows, wondering if it had been a dream. Quietly he struggled to his feet and crept to where he had seen the horse; gingerly he felt the ground, spreading his fingers here and there. Pressed into the dust were hoof prints, far larger than any left by the shackled horses. It had not been a dream after all. Quietly Willow took his place amongst the circle of tunnelers, but he felt somehow different, changed from the scrawny youth who had started the Elder whispering the story of the Warhorse. To those about him he still looked the same person, Willow Leaf, the rubble sledge boy, but he had seen the Warhorse and had heard him whisper his name. The edges of a great adventure were at his fingertips.

Roar: A Story For Every Woman, From The Sunday Times Bestselling Author
by Cecelia AhernFrom the bestselling author of P.S., I Love You, a fiercely feminist story collection that illuminates--sometimes in fantastical ways--how women of all kinds navigate the world today.In this singular and imaginative story collection, Cecelia Ahern explores the endless ways in which women blaze through adversity with wit, resourcefulness, and compassion. Ahern takes the familiar aspects of women's lives--the routines, the embarrassments, the desires--and elevates these moments to the outlandish and hilarious with her astute blend of magical realism and social insight.One woman is tortured by sinister bite marks that appear on her skin; another is swallowed up by the floor during a mortifying presentation; yet another resolves to return and exchange her boring husband at the store where she originally acquired him. The women at the center of this curious universe learn that their reality is shaped not only by how others perceive them, but also how they perceive the power within themselves. By turns sly, whimsical, and affecting, these thirty short stories are a dynamic examination of what it means to be a woman in this very moment. Like women themselves, each story can stand alone; yet together, they have a combined power to shift consciousness, inspire others, and create a multi-voiced ROAR that will not be ignored.
