Recounts how the sled dog Balto saved Nome, Alaska, in 1925 from a diphtheria epidemic by delivering medicine through a raging snowstorm

After the death of his brother, eight-year-old Bill Cody and his family set out from Iowa to make a new home for themselves in the volatile Kansas Territory.

'The eventually internationally recognized writer Lily Blennerhassett' spends her thirteenth summer missing her best friend and keeping a journal of her boring life at home and exciting newly-discovered relatives.

And then there is The Boy. A vision of angelic perfection without wings, a song without words and, quite frankly, a rather fit young specimen of teenage boy. How on earth can Lily concentrate on writing (and emptying crud out of Ellis's keyboard) when it seems for once there are greater (and cuter) ambitions for a girl. Ages 9+.

A humorous and heart-warming seasonal story with a cautionary edge.

When a little girl gets to go with her dad on Career Day, she gets the experience of a lifetime when he takes her to the top of the Empire State Building to assist him in changing the lightbulbs of one of the most famous buildings in the world!

Having become blind as a result of scarlet fever, Laura's sister, 16-year-old Mary, chooses to attend the Iowa College for the Blind where she will have to adjust to being away from her family while meeting new friends, learning Braille, and finding the inner strength needed to cope with her loss on a very personal level.
