In The Lost Seeker, poet Richard Kydd focuses on the human spiritual journey, and the pain and conflict of man's dual spiritual and material makeup. A consistent theme is his observation that we are trapped in an illusion while in this life. In The Portal he calls reality 'A dream, a portal to a window. A view of semi-detached visions, alone to itself, floating in nothingness." He refers often to ' . this dream we call life," as in Locked in a Dream, and in The Window, which we see through dimly. The sadness of the passing of time, and the loss of loved ones, is mentioned often. In Of Yesterday he describes, 'Magic Moments lost in time, gone without a trace." In Dreams he calls a fond memory 'A photo in an album, a picture in a frame, a moment trapped in time, to never come again." Yet Kydd's message is primarily one of hope. He sees the human spirit as always in longing, always seeking the infinite-but ultimately arriving home, to find peace. In The Flaming Spirit a soul is 'Lost to itself beyond the great reaches of eternity. Forever flying higher." And in Born Eternal Kydd says, 'For we are spirit, born unencumbered." Kydd sees love as the end to the human soul's suffering, and this volume contains some touching love poems, in particular The Passing, a memorial to his Spiritual Grandmother.

What "is" that? Simon wondered aloud. It was probably nothing, except... it "glowed." Set in Cape Town, South Africa, Seekers of the Lost Boy is an adventure that brings a homeschooling family face to face with the atrocities of their apartheid past. It begins when 12-year-old Simon finds a bottle on the water's edge during a visit to Muizenberg beach on a cold winter's day. He brings the bottle home, dreaming of adventures, pirates and hidden treasures, only to have the bottle shatter within minutes of returning home. At first he is dismayed, but his disappointment is soon turned to intrigue when he discovers an envelope in the bottle. It contains a letter written 30 years prior by another 12-year-old school boy from the poverty-stricken Cape Flats. The letter is brief and contains one question: Who is God and does he care about me? The letter fascinates the Ward family, so they embark on a journey of discovery. Through clues left in the letter, Simon, his mom and his twin 10-year-old siblings, Nic and Kim, find themselves revisiting their country's apartheid past as they search for their mystery letter-writer.

Fablehaven meets How to Train Your Dragon in this action-packed fantasy about a young boy and girl who become reluctant allies when caring for a baby dragon—the first in brand-new duology! Twelve-year-old Bryn has always dreamed of becoming a Seeker, just like her dad. Only the Seekers are allowed to journey from their small village into the fantastical, untamed wilderness of their island known as the Wild Realm. Once there, they obtain magical items for the village and use magic to protect and heal the incredible creatures native to the Realm. When one of the elderly Seekers retires, leaving a vacant position, Bryn knows this may be her chance. There’s just one problem: Only boys have ever been Seekers. And the training master makes it clear he will not be training a girl. But then Bryn’s biggest rival for the Seeker position, a boy named Ari, shows up at her door. He reveals the baby dragon he’s been hiding, and the two strike a deal—if Bryn helps care for the dragon, Ari will share all his training with her. Even as the two bond over their love of magical animals and their secret trips into the Wild Realm, Bryn doesn’t completely trust Ari’s motives. Especially as she suspects Ari may know more than he’s letting on about the enemy clan stirring up unrest in their village. When all these secrets come to a head and the stakes are at their highest, Bryn realizes it’s up to her to save her family…and the Realm.
