When Stars Fall From The Sky
Perfect for fans of Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, Stephanie Meyer's The Host, and The Giver. In 2305 when stars are considered myths, other planets are being colonized, and alliances are made with other inhabitants of the galaxies. Mallory has been the outcast for as long as she can remember, searching for things she shouldn't, and knowing more than she should. In the world she knows, everyone is after something. Some more than others. In a search for the truth, she finds more than she bargained for. And as things take a dangerous turn, the lines become blurred, and everyone is on a different side. Leaving her in the middle, as both the target and prize for whatever game she's been thrust into. There's no way out this time. The human girl is alone among humans, lost in her love of stars, and in a race to meet the demands of those who can't be refused.

Introducing a dramatic new chapter to American Indian literary history, this book brings to the public for the first time the complete writings of the first known American Indian literary writer, Jane Johnston Schoolcraft (her English name) or Bamewawagezhikaquay (her Ojibwe name), Woman of the Sound the Stars Make Rushing Through the Sky (1800-1842). Beginning as early as 1815, Schoolcraft wrote poems and traditional stories while also translating songs and other Ojibwe texts into English. Her stories were published in adapted, unattributed versions by her husband, Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, a founding figure in American anthropology and folklore, and they became a key source for Longfellow's sensationally popular The Song of Hiawatha. As this volume shows, what little has been known about Schoolcraft's writing and life only scratches the surface of her legacy. Most of the works have been edited from manuscripts and appear in print here for the first time. The Sound the Stars Make Rushing Through the Sky presents a collection of all Schoolcraft's extant writings along with a cultural and biographical history. Robert Dale Parker's deeply researched account places her writings in relation to American Indian and American literary history and the history of anthropology, offering the story of Schoolcraft, her world, and her fascinating family as reinterpreted through her newly uncovered writing. This book makes available a startling new episode in the history of American culture and literature.
