Book Description
When twelve-year-old Hyacinth Star is struck by lightning, her spirit animal, a great white wolf named Dreamcatcher, pays her a visit. It seems she can communicate with animals, and the lightning has also sparked her inner magical powers-if only she can learn how to use them. When bounty hunters arrive seeking the wolves, Hyacinth flees to join Dreamcatcher's pack. To survive, they must reach the Mystic Forest, where a powerful shaman named Joyful Savannah offers a safe haven. But the journey will take them through the Seven Devils Mountains, where they will face man-eating ogres, a legion of goblins, and other terrors. Even worse, an evil witch named Priscilla rules the territory. Only time will tell whether Hyacinth can control her powers, lead her pack to safety, and become a true shaman. In this fantasy novel, a girl who discovers she has the power to speak with animals, along with other magical gifts, sets out on a quest to become the shaman she is meant to be.

Book Description
The Heart of Hyacinth, originally published in 1903, tells the coming-of-age story of Hyacinth Lorrimer, a child of white parents who was raised from infancy in Japan by a Japanese foster mother and assumed to be Eurasian. A crisis occurs when, 18 years after her birth, her American father returns to Japan to reclaim her just as Hyacinth has become engaged to a Japanese aristocrat, and she forcefully asserts her Japanese ties only to find that her prospective father-in-law will not tolerate a white wife for his son. Onoto Watanna creates in her protagonist a young white woman who not only claims a Japanese identity but shifts between her Japaneseness and her whiteness as expediency dictates. In this novel Watanna is on the cutting edge of what we now call race theory, using that theory—of racial constructions and fluidity—in the service of an avant-garde feminism.
