Books that went to press, or back to press this week:
by Joan L. Cannon
This is a story about what home can mean to those fortunate enough to have spent their early lives in a place with a family history. It opens when the three Adams children face the fateful summer when Maiden Run seems besieged. The echoes of that summer sound in each of their lives thereafter. The theme of what is so often lost to "progress" runs through the story the way Maiden Run flows through the farm. Finally, the Adams children must deal each in his or her own way with how to continue without that place, and we are reminded of how deep some roots grow.

Jack's News!
by your bookstore cat, gossip columnist, and feline friend.
Heard from Celine Rose Mariotti, who has a new review for her YA title I HAVE A FRIEND ON JUPITER. Here are some quotes from the review:
"Two friends (Carlos and Indiana) wrote e-mails to their Jupiternarian pen pals and eagerly wait for a reply. Did Carlos and Indiana really receive a message from outer space? If your curiosity has been sparked, then you should read I Have a Friend on Jupiter to find the answer.
"The writing style in I Have a Friend on Jupiter is straightforward... There are detailed facts about Jupiter, space exploration, and how scientists explore space. The book not only uses this information to teach children, but also encourages them to enhance their writing skills and stretch their imaginations." -- www.OnlineBookClub.org
