Compass to Vinland (HARD COVER) by Dani Resh

$32.95

Wren Larkin has a lot of things working against him—too tall, too thin, and living in a house that looks like an old boot. His only friends are a group of noisy crows that are always bringing him random trinkets. Needless to say, he’s not the most popular kid in town.

But things change when a girl named Maria moves to town and instantly befriends Wren. She continues to do the unexpected when she defends Rusty, the resident bad boy, who might not be as rebellious as Wren thought. Wren learns that it isn’t just coincidence that brought the three of them together when he discovers a shoe workshop under the heel of his house that’s holding—or hiding—three pairs of magical shoes intended for each of them.

When strangers arrive on Wren’s doorstep looking for the shoes, Wren and his new companions have no choice but to flee to Underfoot, an underground settlement full of magical creatures. In just a matter of days, Wren is immersed into a whole new reality that’ll take him on an incredible journey and reveal a lineage that might be better left secret.

The Alphabet Woods (Soft Cover) by Jenny Poelman

$18.95

The process was messier than she had anticipated, a mixture of tears and runny noses and dirt and ash, but that was perfectly appropriate. Life when lived, truly lived, was messy.

After a series of life-changing events, fifty-seven-year-old Key North breaks with her usual conventional, acquiescing nature and impulsively purchases a house situated above a patch of woods in rural North Carolina. The move surprises everyone, even herself, and irritates her possessive friend Iris.

Key’s just getting acquainted with this change when she’s visited by her cousin Guy, whom she hasn’t heard from in nearly a decade. With him comes a shocking and difficult challenge, one she’s not sure she’s equipped to handle.

As Key slowly unravels the many complexities that accompany her decision, she finds herself far from her former predictable, unfulfilled life. It’s as though she’s stepped into an alternate world where a little boy’s backpack holds dangerous secrets, an unseen hand is guiding her, and the trees provide the answers she seeks.
