Beorn the Proud
Madeline Pollard
Two cultures, two faiths struggle against each other in this exciting story. You can almost hear the clash of
arms and taste the Great Hall feasts in this authentic recreation of 9th century Europe, when Viking
raiders ravaged the coasts of Ireland. Amid the battles and shipwrecks and deeds of bravery and
treachery, twelve-year-old Beorn learns Christian humility from his young captive, Ness, the daughter of
an Irish chieftain.

Downright Dencey
Caroline Dale Snedeker
Set on the island of Nantucket just before the American War of 1812. Much more than a tale of whaling
ships and gentle Quaker eccentricities, it is a tale of friendship. Dionis "Dencey" Coffyn is a mystery to her
mother, Lydia, whose stern exterior hides a soft heart. Read how Dencey matures from the little girl who,
in temper, throws a rock that wounds the town outcast, to a young woman ready to bear her part in life
with courage. Downright Dencey is a probing portrayal of the power of love to overcome social barriers
and religious strictures.

breaking point. But Sally Day has mettle; in the desperate honesty of this young couple’s conflict, both
young hearts may yet stretch and truly meld.
