Book Description
There's more to me than most people see. Twelve-year-old Willow would rather blend in than stick out. But she still wants to be seen for who she is. She wants her parents to notice that she is growing up. She wants her best friend to like her better than she likes a certain boy. She wants, more than anything, to mush the dogs out to her grandparents' house, by herself, with Roxy in the lead. But sometimes when it's just you, one mistake can have frightening consequences . . . And when Willow stumbles, it takes a surprising group of friends to help her make things right again. Using diamond-shaped poems inspired by forms found in polished diamond willow sticks, Helen Frost tells the moving story of Willow and her family. Hidden messages within each diamond carry the reader further, into feelings Willow doesn't reveal even to herself. Diamond Willow is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

Book Description
How much can someone forget about a tragedy which occurred during childhood and how much haunts you for the rest of your life, as a heavy and dark shadow attached to your skin, to each breath of your exhalation, along the walked path? This is what Simon pretends to discover when he returns to the place where he spent his childhood, of which he keeps almost any memory. The old family manor called "The Home of the Willows" will open a door that, once opened, it cannot be closed again. The door of his lost memory. A door that should have been locked forever. He will discover a world of light and of darkness that cohabits with ours. A world plagued with wonderful creatures, but also with terrible beings that feed from the weakness of some human beings who can be much more horrifying than any monster living in a child ́s most gloomy nightmares.
