A Single Shard. This 2001 Newbery Award Winner is a riveting adventure set in twelfth-century Korea. Not only is this a marvelous story with well-drawn unforgettable characters, but it gives the reader a peek at a time and place not often illuminated. In addition, it reminds us all of the importance of perseverance, sacrifice, integrity, selflessness and community. For it is through these attributes Tree-ear is transformed...and so are we. I invite you to join this journey, where the course of human destiny could be determined by a single celadon shard.

Every Girl Tells a Story This is a book for women of all ages, who will recognize the girls they once were and still can be. It is a book for fathers and mothers, who hear - but may not always listen to - what their daughters are saying. But most of all it is a book for girls, who will find themselves reflected in this joyous celebration of their complexity, depth, honesty, and glorious soaring optimism.

A Fine Balance Before I finished the first page of this book, I knew I was on to something. The style appeared to be a cross of Dostoyevski and Dickens, rich, colorful, and intriguing. The historical backdrop of India with the diverse conflicts force four unlikely characters together. I savored this book and took my time reading it. However, I hesitated to put it on my Favorites list for a couple of weeks because ultimately the story and the history affected me so much. As long as you're not expecting a happy ending, read on. This is a superb piece of literature.
