The Golden Specific
The eagerly-awaited sequel to the best-selling The Glass Sentence -- a historical, fantastical adventure perfect for fans of Philip Pullman! It is the summer of 1892, one year since Sophia Tims and her friend Theo embarked upon the dangerous adventure that rewrote the map of the world. Since their return home to Boston, she has continued searching for clues to her parents’ disappearance, combing archives and libraries, grasping at even the most slender leads. Theo has apprenticed himself to an explorer in order to follow those leads across the country—but one after another proves to be a dead end. Then Sophia discovers that a crucial piece of the puzzle exists in a foreign Age. At the same time, Theo discovers that his old life outside the law threatens to destroy the new one he has built with Sophia and her uncle Shadrack. What he and Sophia do not know is that their separate discoveries are intertwined, and that one remarkable person is part of both. There is a city that holds all of the answers—but it cannot be found on any map. Surrounded by plague, it can only be reached by a journey through darkness and chaos, which is at the same time the plague’s cure: The Golden Specific.

KAZAN (Including the Sequel - Baree, Son Of Kazan)
In "Kazan" and its sequel "Baree, Son of Kazan," James Oliver Curwood crafts an enthralling narrative set against the heart of the Canadian wilderness. Curwood's literary style combines vivid descriptions of nature with a deep empathy for animal life, capturing the complexities of the natural world through the eyes of its protagonists. The story follows Kazan, a wolf-dog torn between loyalty and instinct, exploring themes of survival, identity, and the intrinsic bond between humans and animals. The rich imagery and compelling characterizations evoke the romanticism of early 20th-century adventure literature, while also reflecting the era's burgeoning interest in conservation and nature's sanctity. Curwood, a devoted outdoorsman and advocate for wildlife preservation, drew from his own experiences in the Canadian wilds, allowing him to infuse authenticity and passion into his work. His commitment to nature is evident not only in the narrative but also in his activism, which aimed to ignite public awareness about the plight of wilderness. This dual role as writer and conservationist highlights the emotional intensity and moral undercurrents in his stories. "Kazan" and "Baree, Son of Kazan" are essential reads for those who appreciate the intersection of adventure and ethical reflection. Curwood'Äôs lyrical prose and profound insights into animal behavior are likely to resonate with readers seeking not only an engaging tale but also a deeper understanding of the delicate balance between man and nature.
