Voice of the Valley
by Sheena KoopsVoice of the Valley is a poetic, multi-layered, coming-of-age story inspired by the controversial flooding of Saskatchewan's Souris Valley. Onja Claibourn is almost fifteen. Her world is one of sage, buffalo bills, brown-eyed susans, cactus, flax, buckbrush, foxtail and orange moss—the world of the valley just beyond the family farm. Old roads twist like a game of snakes and ladders into the valley. Onja and her horse Ginger spend their summer days in exploration. But things begin to change when Onja discovers first an archeological dig and then the startling fact that there is a plan to dam and flood her valley. She cannot contemplate this change to the landscape she loves so much. And when she also discovers sixteen-year-old Etthen, working with the archaeologists, she begins those first faltering footsteps toward a totally unfamiliar landscape—romantic love. Onja Claibourn is a wonderfully complex and very real character—innocent, wise, shy, stubborn, playful, and caring. The other major character in the novel is the prairie landscape itself—huge sky, harsh sun, rolling hills, sweeping fields of grain.

Volcanoes (Worldlife Library)
by Peter ClarksonWhat are volcanoes? Where and why do they happen? The aim of this book is to answer these questions and to explain one of the great natural wonders of the Earth. Volcano! Just the mention of the word creates a mental picture, which varies with the listener's own perception. An artist may think of the classical shape of Mount Fuji; a historian may recall the destruction of Pompeii by Vesuvius; a geologist may speculate about the gas content of the lava in relation to its viscosity; a newspaper editor may see the scope for spectacular photographs and stories of human suffering and heroism that will boost newspaper circulation. Whatever thoughts spring to mind, nobody can be but impressed by the awful power of a volcanic eruption and the devastation that may be caused.
