Ice-Out
Walking on thin ice: on Rainy Lake, in the northern reaches of Minnesota, it's more than a saying. And for Owen Jensen, nineteen and suddenly responsible for keeping his mother and five brothers alive, the ice is thin indeed.
Ice-Out returns to the frigid and often brutal Prohibition-era borderland of Mary Casanova's beloved novelFrozen, and to the characters who made it a favorite among readers of all ages. Owen, smitten withFrozen's Sadie Rose, is struggling to make something of himself at a time when no one seems to hold the moral high ground. Bootlegging is rife, corruption is rampant, and lumber barons run roughshod over the people and the land. As hard as things seem when his father dies, stranding his impoverished family, they get considerably tougher-and more complicated-when Owen gets caught up in the suspicious deaths of a sheriff and deputy on the border.
Inspired by real events in early 1920s Minnesota, and by Mary Casanova's own family history,Ice-Outis at once a story of young romance against terrible odds and true grit on the border between license and responsibility, rich and poor, and right and wrong in early twentieth-century America.

Flower Fables
Venture to a world of fairies and flowers in this nineteenth-century collection of stories and poems from the beloved author of Little Women.
At the tender age of sixteen, Louisa May Alcott's imagination was already in full bloom. From tales she told her neighbor, Ellen, daughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson, she wove together stories and songs about fairies, elves, talking flowers, and animals. With innocence and whimsy, Alcott revealed the shadowy kingdom of the Frost-King; introduced the vain fairy, Thistledown, and his kindly friend, Lily-Bell; descended into the depths of the sea with Ripple, the water-spirit; and more!
The inspiration for the setting of \"Fairyland\" was in fact the wooded area around Walden Pond owned by Emerson, where Henry David Thoreau would lead the Alcott sisters and their friends on the berry-picking adventures that activated a rich fantasy world in young Alcott's mind. As delicately constructed as a butterfly's wings, these fanciful fables offer a sweet and fascinating glimpse into the imagination of a legendary American writer who had just begun to find her voice.
Flower Fables includes \"The Frost King: Or, The Power of Love,\" \"Eva's Visit to Fairy-Land,\" \"The Flower's Lesson,\" \"Lily-Bell and Thistledown,\" \"Little Bud,\" \"Clover-Blossom,\" \"Little Annie's Dream: Or, The Fairy Flower,\" and \"Ripple, the Water-Spirit
Fairy Song.\"
