Book Description

"Rose Island, An Almost Accurate Account of Days Gone By" provides you with an exhilarating and nonstop roller coaster ride of a read that includes mysteries of ancient treasures, lost loves, and ghostly apparitions. This is the story of Claire Christiansen, a spoiled debutante from Louisville, and her friend Lutticia Smailes, a young gal from the hollers of Hazard, whose destinies fatefully cross during the summer before everything they hold dear is destroyed by the great Ohio River flood of 1937. Together they forge an eternal bond that will last beyond the grave. The mysteries of the now deserted amusement park, ROSE ISLAND, hurls the reader at warp speed through countless plot twists and turns, in both current time and days gone by. This includes a retelling of local legends surrounding Louisville, Utica, the Falls of the Ohio, and the tribes of the moon-eyed White Indians. This tale, although a work of fiction, is mightily based on places and people in and around Kentuckiana!

Book Description

A National Book Award Longlist title! "A wondrous book, wise and wild and deeply true." —Kelly Barnhill, Newbery Medal-winning author of The Girl Who Drank the Moon "This is one of those books that haunts you long after you read it. Thought-provoking and magical." —Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series In the tradition of modern-day classics like Sara Pennypacker's Pax and Lois Lowry's The Giver comes a deep, compelling, heartbreaking, and completely one-of-a-kind novel about nine children who live on a mysterious island. On the island, everything is perfect. The sun rises in a sky filled with dancing shapes; the wind, water, and trees shelter and protect those who live there; when the nine children go to sleep in their cabins, it is with full stomachs and joy in their hearts. And only one thing ever changes: on that day, each year, when a boat appears from the mist upon the ocean carrying one young child to join them—and taking the eldest one away, never to be seen again. Today’s Changing is no different. The boat arrives, taking away Jinny’s best friend, Deen, replacing him with a new little girl named Ess, and leaving Jinny as the new Elder. Jinny knows her responsibility now—to teach Ess everything she needs to know about the island, to keep things as they’ve always been. But will she be ready for the inevitable day when the boat will come back—and take her away forever from the only home she’s known? "A unique and compelling story about nine children who live with no adults on a mysterious island. Anyone who has ever been scared of leaving their family will love this book" (from the Brightly.com review, which named Orphan Island a best book of 2017).

Book Description

"My darling girls. You were once so happy in this house. Now I'm gone, all I ask is that you spend one last summer here together on Dune Island. And please forgive me, your Nana, for the secret I'm about to tell you..." Arriving at the honeysuckle-covered beach house inherited from her beloved grandmother, recently heartbroken Jill hopes to convince her two feuding sisters not to sell a place so full of happy childhood memories. But the envelope waiting on the driftwood table changes everything. In her elegant handwriting, Nana Rose promises a new letter will arrive each day of the summer revealing a family secret she took to her grave. Shaken, Jill anxiously awaits each letter filled with Nana's bittersweet memories of her own sister who she loved more than anyone-and lost far too young. But why did Nana never speak of this tragic loss to her grandchildren? Watching the sunset each night and wondering how well they really knew Nana Rose, Jill feels her family is closer than they've been in years. And after a chance encounter with blue-eyed tree surgeon Alex, she wonders if Nana believed being back on Dune Island would help Jill find love, too? But when Nana's final letter arrives, the revelation about how her sister died is more shocking than Jill ever imagined. Suddenly, despite the chance of happiness with Alex, selling the house seems the only way forward. Will Jill find a way to forge new bonds of sisterhood and save their inheritance, or will Nana Rose's secret tear them all apart? An absolutely gorgeous, gripping and heartbreaking read about the importance of family, and how even our loved ones can keep shattering secrets.
