Synopsis The Crying Rocks by : Janet Taylor Lisle

From Newbery Honor author Janet Taylor Lisle comes a lyrical story about one girl’s discovery of her startling past—and her search to understand her complicated present. Joelle’s height and dark skin set her apart from everyone in Marshfield. It’s no secret that she’s adopted, but where is she from? Aunt Mary Louise says she came from Chicago on a freight train, but the story doesn’t sit right with Joelle. There’s something more. She feels it. Carlos, the quiet boy in Joelle’s Spanish class, sees it. When he tells her that she looks like a girl in the town library’s old mural of Narragansett Indians, Joelle can’t help sneaking a look. She’s surprised by a flicker of recognition. And when Carlos tells her about the Crying Rocks, where the ghosts of Narragansett children are said to cry for their lost mothers, Joelle knows she must visit them. When they finally set out through the forest, neither she nor Carlos anticipates the power of the ancient place, or the revelations to be found there—about the pasts they’ve both buried, and the discovery of a rare kind of courage that runs deep in Joelle’s family.

Synopsis The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock by : John Russell

My fourth book, The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock, is a collection of mind-blowing true tales of the supernatural. My new book examines not just newer experiences but it revisits some of the incredible events that I wrote about in my first two books—Riding with Ghosts, Angels, and the Spirits of the Dead, and A Knock in the Attic—with relevant updates to those narratives: such as the night that my precious and beloved deceased cat, Gizmo, came back in the flesh to visit me yet once again, proving that there is a powerful spiritual continuum in our lives that endures and provides additional truths and reassurances that our souls live on. I write about never before told occurrences such as the time when my psychic powers fried a bus; the hair-raising supernatural event that happened to me when I was just a boy, running my paper route on my bicycle...in the dark; the magic rocks I've found over the years that changed in apparent weight and size and appearance; strange teleportations of objects from one sealed box to another after we had moved; an incredible story of the Devil himself dancing with several women in a West Texas nightclub during Cinco de Mayo; guidance from the Other Side that enabled me to save the life of a young child; and...the bizarre story of a snake that saved me and my buddies from a beatdown! Sometimes my paranormal experiences are teaching moments that are subtle; memorable; and occasionally, heartrending, including life lessons that I've learned while observing nature, animals, and people. In some of my essays written in a style reminiscent of Robert Fulghum you'll discover the spiritual lessons I learned from watching ducks in the river, a moth stuck in dewy grass, and a sacred moment I experienced with—of all things—a taco. And then, there's those pesky UFOs! Read about my own up close and personal encounters with these strange craft and my subsequent observations that have led me to draw distinct conclusions about their behaviors. That's just a smattering of the amazing true tales you'll enjoy reading in my newest book, The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock.

Synopsis The Rock from the Sky by : Jon Klassen

Look up! From the Caldecott Medal–winning creator of the hat trilogy comes a new deadpan gem. There is a spot. It is a good spot. It is the perfect spot to stand. There is no reason to ever leave. But somewhere above there is also a rock. A rock from the sky. Here comes The Rock from the Sky, a hilarious meditation on the workings of friendship, fate, shared futuristic visions, and that funny feeling you get that there’s something off somewhere, but you just can’t put your finger on it. Merging broad visual suspense with wry wit, celebrated picture book creator Jon Klassen gives us a wholly original comedy for the ages.

Synopsis The Crying Tree Diary by : Lorah Green

The Crying Tree Diary is a cradle-to-grave diary of a battered child. It is the voice of this work that makes it so compelling. At first, the voice is inexperienced, the words raw and discordant like the beginning of a storm. The storm gathers; the voice becomes rhythmic in the daily telling of the main character’s life. Finally, the voice emerges as glimmer on the horizon, and the reader is assured the storm will pass when Julie Anna looks beyond the clouds and prays for peace.
