Hardback. Condizione: Good. A beautifully written story of friendship, discovery, myths, and magic that the>London Times>called reminiscent of fantasy greats such as Philip Pullman and Neil Gaiman. Legends say that the island of Joya was once a place where songbirds sang in every tree and the islanders were free to come and go as they pleased. That was before the harsh-ruling Governor arrived, and ravens drove out the native birds. Now there are no songbirds, and the people are forbidden to travel beyond the forest that separates them from the rest of the island. But for Isabella, the legends of her island home have always seemed like more than just stories. And when a series of mysterious events shakes the community, it's Isabella--daughter to the island's only mapmaker--who will lead a party of explorers into the forest in search of answers. As the group ventures deeper and deeper into the island, dark secrets begin to surface, and the legends Isabella has listened to all these years show signs of coming to life. Debut novelist Kiran Millwood Hargrave draws on the cultural folklore of the Canary Islands in this richly told story of a girl's quest to map her own place in a world that legends alone have shaped. Advance Praise: R]eminiscent of fantasy greats such as Philip Pullman and Neil Gaiman. --The London Times.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Weeks pass, to her they are nameless, they are fading and growing light, the warming of weather.   On this day, she wakes, and begins to walk.   It's a summer of firsts for twelve-year-old Leila: her first time traveling alone, first time apart from Amma and her cousin Mona, and first time seeing her mother, a climate scientist in Norway, since war forced their family from Syria six years ago. Together, Leila and her mother's research team follow the migration of a tiny Arctic fox, Miso, across ice floes and international borders, hopeful the midnight sun will illuminate how to adapt to a constantly changing world. The Arctic Circle is nothing like Leila has ever imagined--so bright and brutal and undeniably wild. It tests her in every way: her understanding of home and what it means to belong, her determination to do what's right, and her belief in how much is possible in even the most impossible of situations. Inspired by an Arctic fox's real 2,000-mile trek across continents, Miso and Leila's entwined journeys offer hope in the face of an uncertain future and reinforce that even the smallest voices can make the biggest impact. &nbsp.
