Three friends. One memory. Vienna. 1936. Three young friends--Leo, Elsa, and Max--spend a perfect day together, unaware that around them Europe is descending into a growing darkness and that they will soon be cruelly ripped apart from one another. With their lives taking them across Europe--to Germany, England, Prague, and Poland--will they ever find their way back to one another? Will they want to? Inspired by a true story, When the World Was Ours is an extraordinary novel that is as powerful as it is heartbreaking and that shows how the bonds of love, family, and friendship allow glimmers of hope to flourish, even in the most hopeless of times.

Molly's Rocker
At first glance, the rickety old rocker seemed to have no value. It was nearly lost in a devastating fire long ago, and, but for a twist of fate, it would have been discarded as worthless. Its discovery led to the revelation of a remarkable story that began in 1879 with Molly's birth as the youngest of seven children growing up on a tobacco farm in rural Kentucky - and continuing through and beyond the Great Depression. Yet this is no ordinary tale because the challenges that Molly confronted with heart, grace, and grit are many of the same issues we face today, including deeply ingrained hatred by some for those of different beliefs and skin colors. Molly's story reveals a life of both struggle and tragedy, but Molly always finds a way to live with simple joy and purpose. Based on actual events, Molly's story is a deeply moving testament to the power of enduring love and friendship.
Trail Blazer of the Seas
From the author of Carry On, Mr. Bowditch, winner of the 1956 Newbery Medal, Jean Lee Latham writes an absorbing biography of Matthew Fontaine Maury, the man considered to be the father of modern oceanography.In the early 1800s, the voyage from New York to San Francisco took six months. That was before Maury, a lieutenant in the US Navy, blazed a trail for ships to follow. The first ship to follow Maury's directions based on his wind and current charts cut nearly two months off that time. Later, clipper ships cut that time in half.For seven years Maury had fought against skepticism and bitter opposition, for the cooperation needed to gather data for his charts. Years later, at a worldwide peacetime conference in Brussels, which he organized in 1853, nine-tenths of the world's ships were helping Maury collect data and blaze more trails.After the success of his charts, Maury blazed on with more new ideas: he campaigned for a Naval Academy, for better fortification of our southern ports, and separate shipping lanes for eastbound and westbound routes in the Atlantic to avoid deadly collisions. Jean Lee Latham gives a warm, lively picture of the man and a clear explanation of all his achievements. Victor Mays' drawings are both powerful and authentic. There is no discussion of slavery in this biography.
