A boy and his family must decide whether to remain in Cuba under a repressive government or risk everything for the chance of a new beginning. "Heartbreaking yet hopeful" —Alan Gratz, bestselling author of Refugee There are two versions of Héctor: the public and the private. It’s the only way to survive in communist Cuba—especially when your father was exiled to the U.S. and labeled an enemy of the people. Héctor must always be seen as a fierce supporter of the regime, even if that means loudly rejecting the father he still loves. But in the summer of 1980, those two versions are hard to keep separate. No longer able to suppress a public uprising, the Cuban government says it will open the port of Mariel to all who wish to leave the country—if they can find a boat. But choosing to leave comes with a price. Those who want to flee are denounced as traitors by family and friends. There are violent acts of repudiation, and no one knows if they will truly be allowed to leave the country or not. So when Héctor’s mother announces that she wants the family to risk everything to go to the United States, he is torn. He misses his father, but Cuba is the only home he has ever known. All his dreams and plans require him to stay. Can he leave everything behind for an unknown future? In a summer of heat and upheaval, danger and deadly consequences, Héctor’s two worlds are on a collision course. Will the impact destroy him and everything he loves?

The Bluest Sky is an homage to the plants, animals, landscape and beauty of New Mexico and the American Southwest. It is written as a lyrical list poem and illustrated in watercolor and ink. This is a short excerpt: "Blue Gramma sparkles and prairie dogs chant. Vultures lay in wait while jackrabbits prance. There are yuccas, lizards, and crows bringing gifts, bobcats and bison, and cougars in our midst."

There's double trouble at Triple Diamond Ranch. A greedy timber baron is after Matt Henshaw's land, and just when Matt needs them the most, his hired hands threaten to quit. They want to settle down and raise families, and Flat Rock, Montana, has a chronic shortage of respectable young ladies. Not knowing what else to do, Matt takes the advice of his housekeeper, Aurelia, and takes the train to Boston. There he places a newspaper ad, hoping to recruit suitable young women to come west. Yet Matt gets far more than he bargains for when he ends up with five strong willed young orphans, their feisty guardian, and a raft of Aurelia's relatives who want to find a better life in Montana. Yet while Matt's away, the timber baron makes his move. He dams the river, leaving Matt's cattle without water, and posts armed guards to protect the dam. Before Matt can respond, however, it is the orphans who take the initiative with a daring solution. When help arrives from an unexpected quarter, Matt Henshaw finds his life changing in ways he never imagined. Set in the Big Sky country of eastern Montana, The Bluest Skies, is an impressive first effort by a talented new author.

A gorgeous picture book biography of botanist and photographer Anna Atkins--the first person to ever publish a book of photography After losing her mother very early in life, Anna Atkins (1799–1871) was raised by her loving father. He gave her a scientific education, which was highly unusual for women and girls in the early 19th century. Fascinated with the plant life around her, Anna became a botanist. She recorded all her findings in detailed illustrations and engravings, until the invention of cyanotype photography in 1842. Anna used this new technology in order to catalogue plant specimens—a true marriage of science and art. In 1843, Anna published the book Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions with handwritten text and cyanotype photographs. It is considered the first book of photographs ever published. Weaving together histories of women, science, and art, The Bluest of Blues will inspire young readers to embark on their own journeys of discovery and creativity.
