Nantucket BlueFor Cricket, a summer on Nantucket with her best friend Jules is a life-changing dream come true. That is, until Jules and her family suffer a devastating tragedy, and Jules becomes a stranger. And instead of lying on the beach working on her tan, Cricket is making beds and cleaning bathrooms to support herself in paradise. But it's the things she hadn't counted on-most of all, falling hard for someone who should be completely off-limits-that turn her dreams into an exhilarating, bittersweet reality.Nantucket RedCricket is headed to Brown University in the fall, but to help pay for her living expenses, she returns to work on Nantucket for the summer, where she finds challenges she hadn't anticipated. As her world opens up in new ways, Cricket questions the future she's been working toward her whole life. With the pull of a love triangle complicating everything, she'll have to learn that success isn't just about reaching goals, but also about listening to what she's been trying to ignore-her own heart.Praise for Nantucket Blue "[Howland] evokes the Nantucket setting vividly . . . when it comes to indulgent beach reading, sometimes it's more fun to get pushed over by a wave than to stay safely on your towel." -The New York Times"Sand, secrets, Nantucket Reds, and romance. A fresh, feel-good debut." -The Boston Globe*"Readers should feel empowered by Cricket's efforts to grow up into a strong, honest, and emotionally intelligent young woman, even as they are enchanted by the romantic and exclusive island setting.

Definitely a standout novel in its genre." -School Library JournalPraise for Nantucket Red"Enjoyable and introspective, this is more than just a summer beach read." -Kirkus Reviews"In this novel about finding oneself and following your heart, Howland creates a character that readers will be cheering for from beginning to end." -VOYA "Nantucket Red is an engaging continuation of Cricket's story, and its pace is perfect for a long weekend or beach read." -School Library Journal

Naomi
by Berniece RabeThe fortune-teller had said that Naomi would die before her fourteenth birthday, and the fortune-teller had a habit of being right. Was there any way for Naomi to avoid her fate? She tried, Lord knows. She had her mother to tell her to peel the potatoes thin, to work hard, to waste nothing-- for that would win her a husband, and getting married was the only future a girl could hope for. Naomi took pains with her peeling. She tried working hard and making herself marriageable. She even hitched up the nervous new horse for her brother Abe. Maybe that way God would notice her and extend her time on earth. But nothing turned out the way she planned, and that birthday loomed closer and closer. In the end it was visiting nurse Sarah Mitchell who showed Naomi that there was more to life than just avoiding fate, that there were more services for women to perform than just making thin potato peels. In this realistic novel of a Missouri farm in the 1930's, author Berniece Rabe brings to life a family of real people facing real problems and introduces us to original thinker Naomi Bradley, who blunders her way toward a fateful birthday. And beyond?
