The Miner's Daughter
by Gretchen Moran LaskasPerhaps there is always a mark, when another person touches you, an invisible thread connecting you to them. Backbreaking work, threadbare clothes, and black coal dust choking the air -- this is what a miner's daughter knows. Willa Lowell fears that this dust marks her to be nothing else, that she will never win against the constant struggle to survive. Even the fierce flame of her family's love -- her one bright spot against the darkness -- has begun to dim. Willa yearns for a better life -- enough food to eat, clothes that fit, and a home free of black grit. She also yearns for a special love, the love of a boy who makes her laugh and shares the poetry she carries in her heart. When a much brighter future is suddenly promised to her family, Willa knows it is a miracle . . . until she discovers that every promise has a price. But she also discovers that the real change has burned inside her all along -- if only she is strong enough to mine it. Writing in a style that is as breathtaking and lyrical as it is powerful, Gretchen Moran Laskas draws from her family's past to bring to life the story of a girl struggling against seemingly insurmountable odds. The Miner's Daughter will touch readers' hearts and stay with them long after they've read the last word.

No longer shy or self-conscious, Minerva goes where most thirteen-year-olds wouldn't dare--like behind the line of yellow crime-scene tape, or wherever a new mystery rears its head. So when annoying rich girl Chelsea de Guzman pleads with Minerva to help her find a missing diamond, Minerva can't resist. Before long, Minerva is crashing a movie set to get close to a suspect, spying on an animal-loving lunatic, and doing her dogged best to foil a number of serious plots. From kidnapping to jewel heists, Minerva's wits are put to the test as she tries to get her man--or perhaps his dog?

Together the two boys suffer through a frightening hurricane and are shipwrecked on the mysterious Isle of Devils. They solve the ciphers embedded in emblems found in Thatchers sea chest, which has washed up with the wreck, then make their way through gloomy forests and tortuous labyrinths to a cave on the shore that houses a wizard-like old man. Beset by danger and villainy on every side, they finally discover the old mans identity and unearth a treasure that is much rarer and finer than gold.
