Swan Flowers
Gathering flowers is a pastime for a maiden, not for a man, a true knight. That's the opinion of Sir John, friend of Sir Carlyon and rival for the hand of Lady Patrina, who has heard a legend of swan flowers, which only grow where a swan has died. She has said that it is her dearest wish to have some of these flowers. Although Sir John dismisses the idea as sentimental nonsense, Sir Carlyon, being of a more romantic nature, decides to seek and bring back the flowers for his lady love. How hard can that be? Carlyon sets off through medieval England with his squire, but early in his journey he offends a woman who has powers of witchcraft. She pursues him, taking him out of his way, as he tries to avoid her. It may have been an unnecessary delay, when he rescues a maiden, Mary the thatcher's daughter, who is in distress, but her help proves invaluable in defeating the witch, who puts both their lives in danger. Her help is also there as he hopes to find the swan flowers. However, Carlyon begins to have feelings for Mary, which endanger his love for Lady Patrina. But what future could there be for a knight and a thatcher's daughter? And how has Sir John taken advantage of Sir Carlyon's unexpectedly long absence to woo Lady Patrina?

Her mother, who is the dressmaker to a local countess, hires her a tutor, the rebellious and precocious Mihail. The two soon begin a passionate romance, unable to resist the powerful love and attraction they share. When the Nazis invade Romania, Daniela and Mihail's lives are forever changed: Mihail escapes and joins the partisans; Daniela is captured and sent on the notorious Transnistrian Death March, where Jews are starved, murdered, and robbed. Daniela is brutally raped by Romanian soldiers, and trapped by their depravity, she watches helplessly as her people are destroyed. Daniela's life is spared when her beauty catches the eye of a Romanian Iron Guard commander, Major Dragulescu, who forcibly takes her as his concubine and also sends her to nurse Romanian soldiers in the field hospital, where Daniela cannot help feeling pity at the suffering that surrounds her. One night Mihail appears with a troop of partisans on a mission to assassinate two key Nazis visiting the major. What happens next is both heroic and tragic, and results in Daniela's escape with the partisans, who train her in sabotage and battle tactics. She throws herself into living on the run behind enemy lines, and transforms herself into an effective soldier and partisan leader until the war mercifully comes to an end. The Dressmaker's Daughter is an unflinching look at the horrors inflicted by the Nazis upon the Romanian Jews during the Holocaust, and one brave young woman's ability to rise above her suffering and escape to freedom.
Mattie and the Machine
WINNER OF THE 2023 GRATEFUL AMERICAN BOOK PRIZE FOR BEST YOUNG ADULT HISTORICAL FICTION!FINALIST FOR THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BOOK AWARD! Mattie and the Machine is a fictionalized yet historically accurate account of Margaret E. Knight's fight to obtain recognition as a 19th century female inventor (she would eventually be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2006). This entertaining tale is filled with romance, competition, and treachery, and features a feisty and brilliant female heroine who excels in STEM-related tasks.In 1868 New England, fifteen-year-old Mattie is a mechanic in Columbia Paper's all-female bag division. With paper bag sales booming after the Civil War, her boss expands the division by hiring men from his old Army regiment, including the mechanic Frank. Sparks instantly fly between Mattie and Frank, and their budding romance has her walking on air--until she discovers Frank's pay is higher than hers. In fact, all the men receive thirty percent more than their female counterparts. The boss's rationale? Men are inherently better with machines.Determined to prove him wrong, Mattie proposes a bet: If she can build a machine that fully automates their paper-bag-making process, the women will receive equal pay. If she fails, she'll resign as mechanic. The boss accepts, with one condition: Frank will also build a machine, and Mattie's must beat his.Mattie's determination as she struggles with the technical challenges she encounters while taking her invention from initial concept to working prototype--in addition to the overwhelming prejudice she faces in the workplace and, eventually, the courtroom--makes her story an inspiring feminist narrative. Mattie and the Machine also includes an appendix with Margaret E. Knight's actual patent application and drawings for her Bag Machine.

In Carrillo's powerful account, he skillfully weaves together a thrilling tale told by three alternating teenage narrators: Misho, Peter, and Lily.Misho, an 18-year-old Jewish boy, is a prominent archbishop's driver, hiding his identity while helping his boss directly challenge the Bulgarian government's pro-Nazi policies.Peter, 17, is determined to save his Jewish neighbors by confronting parliament members in the capital, then taking up arms to fight with a partisan rebel communist group.Lily, 19, works for the collaborationist government office in charge of evicting and deporting Jews to concentration camps. When she witnesses the evil results of her desk job, Lily becomes a spy who leaks information to Jewish community leaders in order to prevent further atrocities.As the characters' lives become more endangered and their unsung roles in saving Jewish citizens are revealed, the reader is treated to a tension-filled adventure surrounding one of the greatest unknown acts of heroism associated with the Holocaust. Acts of Resistance will have you on the edge of your seat as Misho, Peter, and Lily face and overcome extremely perilous situations, ultimately triumphing as they each help to lead the people of Bulgaria to rise up against the Nazis and save their nearly 50,000-strong Jewish population from extinction.
The Revenge of Joe Wild
The Revenge of Joe Wild is a young adult novel about a semi-literate 12-year-old boy growing up in mid-19th-century Southern Illinois, an outsider who can't fit in with the norms of society. When Joe is accused of murdering his friend Ervan Foster, he flees the authorities and goes on the run, vowing to one day return as an adult, find out who the real killer is, clear his name, and avenge Ervan's death. While on the run, Joe has many funny, dangerous, and eye-opening adventures which include joining the Union army and fighting in the American Civil War. When the war ends, Joe returns to his hometown, an armed and battle-tested 16-year-old. He confronts his accusers, but when Joe finds out the truth behind Ervan's murder, he makes peace with the man who falsely accused him, as well as with himself. In the great tradition of such 19th-century American authors as Mark Twain, James Fennimore Cooper, and Stephen Crane, The Revenge of Joe Wild is a humorous, tense, action-filled novel set against the dramatic backdrop of the Civil War, with themes involving racism, sexuality, and misinformation that are just as relevant in the 21st century as they were during the time of Joe Wild.
Remapping the Classics
This publication is the first to explore the collective reception of works by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven in Spain. It addresses two main questions that shed light on the roles these composers played in a southern European context, viewed from Europe's periphery. Firstly, the study examines how different contexts and performance practices influenced the presentation of these composers' music. It delves into the transmission of musical texts and their adaptation to various demands through arrangements and transcriptions. Secondly, it explores how the physical and symbolic nature of performance spaces shaped listening habits. In nineteenth-century Spain, the salon, the church, and the concert hall were the primary venues for this music, similar to the rest of the Western world. However, some works ventured beyond these traditional spaces, finding new homes and creating fresh cultural meanings. These shifts not only altered the functions of the music but also transformed musical sociability, as detailed in the book. By examining the remapping of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven's music to a southern European context, this book provides novel insights into the significant roles these composers played in Western culture.

With her sister Izara made the new heir and her world upended, Nahia is sent away with a young man she barely knows. Deep in the wilds, however, she uncovers a shocking talent for divining messages from the spirits and channelling their turbulent powers. But these visions come to show her that her people are in terrible danger. . . and they need her. Nahia will have to use every advantage she has to save her beloved people--and her sister. In this powerful upper YA with crossover appeal, archaeologist Emily Jones transports us to a rugged world of pine forests, frothy beaches, and wild magic, and masterfully depicts passionate first love, conquest, green sorcery, the unbreakable bond between sisters, and untamed, unashamed female power.
