Book Description
Flat chested and agile as monkeys, the pretty little Sheppard sisters hunt exotic insects as decorations for their mud pies and childhood games. Yet, by the age of ten, Mya Sheppard's body has outgrown her innocent mind. Deeply troubled by its unwanted attention, Mya climbs trees hoping to remain within the protected cradle of childhood. But the violence that chased the Sheppard girls to California finds them and forces them and their Mother back to Georgia and into the home of Donovan Sheppard's religious parents. Struggling against bouts of anxiety brought on by salty California, Mya finds herself in a whirl of trouble one afternoon when she's left in the care of a grandfather who finds her tempting. Despite the domestic issues plaguing the family, this assault seizes Mya's ability to defend her body against others, and her own hands. Brutally honest and graphically told, Mya introduces the reader to the life of a family fighting for love and normalcy, and struggling to remain together.

Book Description
Using studies on contemporary Maya farming techniques and important new archaeological research, the authors show that the ancient Maya were able to support, sustainably, a vast population by farming the forest—thus refuting the common notion that Maya civilization devolved due to overpopulation and famine.

Book Description
Along the trails of endless pines, I search for truth and follow signs. How’s your summer going? Mine is ruined. Hi. My name is Ri. I’m the kind of delinquent teenage girl you hear horror stories about. My parents thought they could reform my “bad” attitude and get me away from my “troublemaking” friends in the city by shipping me off to my grandparents’ house in the countryside for the summer. I’m supposed to stay clear of the “forbidden” forest and piss away my days in my grandparents’ stupid rose garden alongside a boy named Avery. Avery is seventeen, but he chooses to work for my grandparents because he likes roses. Well, the joke’s on them. I’m getting the hell out of here, and I won’t let anyone stop me—especially not some weirdo boy. — Awash with Summer Roses is a young adult contemporary coming-of-age story and romance with a splash of magic. All books have been published; this series is complete.

Book Description
The Yellow Bills is a book aimed at 6-9 year olds taking them on an enchanting tale of unlikely friendships and striving against all the odds to reach one’s dreams. Mya is an eight year old girl who loves planes and wants to be a pilot when she grows up. As luck would have it she comes across a flying school run by Lieutenant Drake who awards his pupils with pilot hat’s when they graduate. Mya thinks this will be a great start to her flying career and wants to join the class, but there’s just one problem. She’s not a duck! Could Goose the little duckling with big flying ambitions be the key to helping her fly and getting her pilot’s hat? Or will Mr Sour, the teacher who didn’t quite make the grade himself, have other ideas? As Mya tries to fly she realises she has taken on more than she bargained for and only has numerous scrapes and bruises to show for her effort. Her idea of a winged cape falls flat on its face, literally, and her good friend Goose, who has offered to help her is at a loss as to how she can get off the ground. However, an unlikely source of help comes in the shape of her Mum who surprises her one day with a modified bike. In fact it’s more than modified it’s downright monstrous, with a huge wing and propeller attached to the top. It’s only meant for show but Mya is determined to prove her mum wrong – the bike will fly. Inspired by authors such as Roald Dahl and Angela Sommer-Bodenburg’s ‘The Little Vampire’ collection, Michelle McKenna weaves a story with the humour and invention of Nick Ward’s ‘Charlie Small’ series meets Dick King Smith’s wonder of the animal world.
