Book Description
Charlotte's Christmas Château is the third book in The Three Sisters' series. With a witty and educational bent, this series is geared for readers with a spirit of adventure, travel, independence and old-fashioned fun. In The Three Sisters: Charlotte's Christmas Château, Charlotte, the youngest sister, goes to France with her sisters, Elizabeth and Katherine to meet her aunt who is the American Ambassador to France. For better or worse, her aunt is (once again!) otherwise occupied so the three sisters are tended to by her aunt's energetic and food-loving staff. The "staff" consists of Doodle (short for "Yankee Doodle," the French-American standard poodle), Madame de Sigy (the trusted bespectacled housekeeper) and Monsieur Duquette (the responsible chauffer/guide/friend). In auntie's absence, the girls go to a grand party at the Palace of Versailles for Christmas where there are festivities and food galore. While touring the splendid gardens, they lose a special and beloved Christmas decoration the Golden Bell. They must find it in order to celebrate Christmas and decorate the Christmas tree. The reader is brought along as the Three Sisters follow "The Golden Bell Trail" amidst the famous monuments and gardens of Versailles in their efforts to find it. In Charlotte's Christmas Château, the reader is brought along on an adventurous journey and learns many interesting facts about French history, culture, geography, food and language. Foreign language is introduced in a fun manner as the book contains a peppering of French and a "Dictionnaire" to learn and pronounce French words "with care" and the required "Parisian flare."

Book Description
A National Book Award Longlist title! "A wondrous book, wise and wild and deeply true." —Kelly Barnhill, Newbery Medal-winning author of The Girl Who Drank the Moon "This is one of those books that haunts you long after you read it. Thought-provoking and magical." —Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series In the tradition of modern-day classics like Sara Pennypacker's Pax and Lois Lowry's The Giver comes a deep, compelling, heartbreaking, and completely one-of-a-kind novel about nine children who live on a mysterious island. On the island, everything is perfect. The sun rises in a sky filled with dancing shapes; the wind, water, and trees shelter and protect those who live there; when the nine children go to sleep in their cabins, it is with full stomachs and joy in their hearts. And only one thing ever changes: on that day, each year, when a boat appears from the mist upon the ocean carrying one young child to join them—and taking the eldest one away, never to be seen again. Today’s Changing is no different. The boat arrives, taking away Jinny’s best friend, Deen, replacing him with a new little girl named Ess, and leaving Jinny as the new Elder. Jinny knows her responsibility now—to teach Ess everything she needs to know about the island, to keep things as they’ve always been. But will she be ready for the inevitable day when the boat will come back—and take her away forever from the only home she’s known? "A unique and compelling story about nine children who live with no adults on a mysterious island. Anyone who has ever been scared of leaving their family will love this book" (from the Brightly.com review, which named Orphan Island a best book of 2017).

Book Description
After brilliantly reimagining the worlds of Oz, Wonderland, Dickensian London, and the Nutcracker, the New York Times bestselling author of Wicked turns his unconventional genius to Hans Christian Andersen's "The Wild Swans," transforming this classic tale into an Italian-American girl's poignant coming-of-age story, set amid the magic of Christmas in 1960s New York. Following her brother's death and her mother's emotional breakdown, Laura now lives on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, in a lonely townhouse she shares with her old-world, strict, often querulous grandparents. But the arrangement may be temporary. The quiet, awkward teenager has been getting into trouble at home and has been expelled from her high school for throwing a record album at a popular girl who bullied her. When Christmas is over and the new year begins, Laura may find herself at boarding school in Montreal. Nearly unmoored from reality through her panic and submerged grief, Laura is startled when a handsome swan boy with only one wing lands on her roof. Hiding him from her ever-bickering grandparents, Laura tries to build the swan boy a wing so he can fly home. But the task is too difficult to accomplish herself. Little does Laura know that her struggle to find help for her new friend parallels that of her grandparents, who are desperate for a distant relative’s financial aid to save the family store. As he explores themes of class, isolation, family, and the dangerous yearning to be saved by a power greater than ourselves, Gregory Maguire conjures a haunting, beautiful tale of magical realism that illuminates one young woman’s heartbreak and hope as she begins the inevitable journey to adulthood.
