Maggie By My Side
by Beverly ButlerWhen cancer unexpectedly struck down Beverly Butler's guide dog, Una, it hurt to imagine another dog taking her place. Yet it was because of what Una and three other dedicated dogs before her had given her in terms of independence and dignity that made getting a new dog as certain as sunrise. In Maggie By My Side, she tells of the challenges, hazards, and joys of training with Maggie, her fifth guide dog since losing her sight at fourteen. It is also an account of the foibles, quirks, and devotion of the guide dogs who preceded Maggie. Part of the story is poignant--the anguish of Una's death--and part is hilarious--Maggie's introduction to the family cats. In this lively narrative we learn the history of guide dogs, what it takes to become a trainer, how new guide dogs come to be, and share in the vivid firsthand experiences that bring it all to life. This is a Junior Literary Guild selection, chosen as an outstanding book for boys and girls (A Group). Pictures are described.

Maggie In The Morning
by Elizabeth Van SteenwykThe year 1941 was pivotal in U. S. history. It was a time of transition and a time of waiting, waiting for events to occur that would change many lives forever. For eleven-year-old Maggie Calhoun it was a time of waiting, too. She was waiting for her mom's new baby to be born and waiting for her dad to get a new job out in California making airplanes for the war that was coming. That's why she and her brother, Cooper, were spending the summer with Uncle Dick and Aunt Bess in Oquawka. But Maggie was also waiting for something she couldn't name -- waiting to discover a secret she felt was being kept from her by her own family, a secret that involved her past and her future. A secret that would help her understand who she really was. With warmth and humor, author Elizabeth Van Steenwyk captures small town life in the Midwest during a unique time in America's history. She also gently reveals one young girl's self-discovery and growth during a special summer.

Through it all she is surrounded by her big extended gumbo soup of a family, pestered by annoying younger siblings, and gently guided by her strong female relatives – her mother, her kohkom and her ultra-cool cousin Jayda. “Keep taking up space,” Maggie’s mother says. “You’re only making room for the girls behind you.” A heroine for today, Maggie Lou discovers that with hard work and perseverance she can gain valuable new skills, without losing one iota of her irrepressible spirit.
