Gypsy Davey
by Chris LynchA boy triumphs over his abusive environment in this raw and gripping story from National Book Award finalist Chris Lynch.Davey's had to grow up fast in order to get away--away from his beautiful mother, who loves him but can't take care of him; away from his charismatic but reckless father, who loves him too, but can't commit; and away from the people who look at him strangely because he's not like them. The only constant in his life has been his sister, Joanne. She's fed him, protected him, and taken care of him ever since she was seven and he was two. Now Jo, still a teenager, has a baby herself, and it's Davey's turn to take care of someone, to offer love like he's never known before. National Book Award finalist Chris Lynch "describes in unflinching detail a squalid, urban scene" in this "meticulously crafted" novel with "evocative and lyrical prose" (Publishers Weekly).

Hadder MacColl
by Patricia Calvert"It will be a fine war," I assured him, hoping to take that look out of his eyes.... "No, Hadder, it won't be a fine war at all," he chastened me. "It will be a desperate and bloody war, just as most wars are. Somehow, Had, we Scots have to learn to live with the English on this little island.... It must all have a stop." He's soft and foolish and a stranger to me, I realized.... I closed my heart against Leofwin and wondered if a girl had ever gone to war before or if I might be the very first one. * Hadder MacColl, fourteen-year-old daughter of the fiery Highlands chieftain, Big Archibald, cannot believe that her brother's three years of study at Edinburgh could have so changed him that he no longer shares her taste for battle. They had always yearned for the return from exile of Bonnie Prince Charlie, when the clans would rally behind him, rout the English, and win back the crown of his ancestors. Now the prince has landed on the coast, and Hadder's beloved brother no longer wants to fight. Only the honor of Big Archibald drives him to follow the clans. Oh, if only Hadder could go to war! She'd show them what it means to be a child of Big Archibald MacColl.... Patricia Calvert's stirring novel recalls a memorable period and creates an equally memorable heroine.
