The magic of spring, the gift of life and water in a dry land, and the power of kids to make a difference in our world. Eleven-year-old Shanna finds a secret pool on a class field trip to the "waste land" near her new school. The land nearby is dry and covered with scrub brush, but in a hidden pocket there is a wild profusion of flowers, trees and life around a trickle of water. Shanna's teacher says the waste land is scheduled to be bulldozed for a building project and the tiny spring will be destroyed. But Shanna discovers something amazing that few outside her goddess-oriented family would believe-a magical protector of the spring, maybe even a real fairy. Shanna and her eight-year-old brother Rye decide they have to do something to save the spring and its magical resident. Amid a sharing of the festival of Beltane, the kids learn how passion and action can blossom to make positive change. This story is partly based on events from the author's childhood, involving an endangered spring in dry country. But it is also an integral part of the Children's Wheel of the Year, a collection of stories about the adventures of Shanna and Rye which make the concepts and themes of seasonal celebration come alive for children.

Ten-year-old Shanna has an uneasy feeling about a stranger her seven-year-old brother Rye met on way home from school. Is she just a silly chicken or is this what Momma calls intuition? Shanna and Rye are also disturbed by an angry presence in the shadows under some pine trees and by a mysterious raven. Their mother shows them how to use the magic of Imbolc to protect themselves and stand up for their beliefs. This is the first book in the Children's Wheel of the Year series for earth-centered, Pagan and Wiccan families. It is also a useful book for anyone teaching children about multicultural tolerance and about how to use intuition rather than prejudice to judge potentially dangerous situations.

The gift of a friend, The promise of the pentacle, A new beginning... And the courage to stand your ground. Here is a story for Pagan, Wiccan and earth-centered families to share the wonder of the Wheel of the Year. Ostara is a time for buds and shoots, for the smell of wet earth and for asserting your true self. A new beginning can be hard but it's worth it after all. Ten-year-old Shanna and eight-year-old Rye are starting out at a new school just before Ostara. A teacher notices Shanna's pentacle necklace and asks her to take it off. Brandy, the popular girl, says Shanna is going to "hell" and Rye has his own trouble with kids who say boys don't draw or sing. Still the magic of Ostara is at work. Shanna and Rye can meet new challenges and find new friends. Like Shanna and Rye, children from earth-centered families often stand out in mainstream society. Without strong identity and confidence, they struggle to choose their own path. The Children's Wheel of the Year books provide concepts our kids need to face these challenges.

Her mind wandered again to the upcoming project. It was a mystery how the builder had found her. After all, most of her work was renovation and repair. To say she was curious that a total stranger would request her for a mural would be an understatement. Her research on Chance Wilding revealed a talented architect-builder with skyscrapers in several key Western cities, but how would he have heard about her or her work? And since her work was not sold in studios, nor did she have a website, it was going to be her first question. Her research also showed he usually worked in Texas. And of course the one thing Texas needed was another high-rise. She wondered how he would take her insistence that she have total control of her design. It would be interesting to see.

She'll be swept away from her sleepy, laidback Southern town into the hectic life of the rich and famous. Her life will only get more interesting when she falls for the man who hired her.

In a chilling blend of folk horror and twisting suspense, this modern masterpiece depicts isolation and dread within a small island community. There's something in the water... On the edge of the Northern Atlantic lies a remote island. The islanders are an outwardly harmonious community—but all have their own secrets, some much darker than others. And when a strange disorder begins to infect them all, those secrets come to light. Ferry service fails and contact with the mainland is lost. Rumors begin to swirl as a temporary inconvenience grows into nightmarish ordeal. The fabric of the once tight-knit island is unnervingly torn apart—and whatever the cause, the question soon stops being how or why it happened, but who, if anyone, will survive.
