"The melty summer sun hung hot overhead. Abigail Ann, known by all as Abby, could feel it beat warmly on her back." A fun and colorful story about a young girl who rescues an injured frog on a busy bike path, and then uses her ingenuity to design a lasting solution so no more frogs get hurt. Written by female Oxford conservation biologist, Hunter Doughty, and illustrated by emerging artist Sarah Wood, Abigail Ann is at the locus of science education and art communication. It seeks to empower children with the confidence to think and act scientifically - one frog and bikepath at a time. 30% of profits from the sales of this book are used to donate copies of Abigail Ann to Title I schools. This Bookshare Initiative seeks to increase excitement about the sciences, and promote reading literacy, self-efficacy, and outdoor play in children of all backgrounds.
When Ellen Chen runs away with a girl she just met, she instantly feels free. She doesn't have to constantly worry, and the thought of bringing a razor up to her wrist barely crosses her mind. But when the high of being a runaway wears off, Ellen is still left with her thoughts. The trip takes a turn for the worse, and love turns out to be much different than it seems. For Ellen, it is the complete opposite. A story of love, hurt, and mental illness sheds light on just how complicated the teenage brain can be- and it is truly worth reading.
Spring. Beautiful blossoms. Chirping peepers. Trees swaying in their new greenery. Pussy willows glistening in furry white coats. Rain and warmth. New births and new beginnings...Ten-year-old Abigail Price is excited about spring in her new home in Birchtown. Spring means lots of things, like flower buds and fresh leaves and her Aunt Dinah's new baby. She's hoping it also means she'll get a new dress to wear for the celebration, but new clothing, like many things, is hard to come by. The first children's picture book set in historic Birchtown, Nova Scotia, Abigail's Wish is a window into the life of a Black Loyalist family in the early years of the historic colony. Through the eyes of young Abigail, this stunning collaboration between poet and novelist Gloria Ann Wesley and award-winning illustrator Richard Rudnicki will teach readers about Black Loyalist life, and the value of friendship and patience.

Being in love with a man who doesn't even know you're alive can be a problem, especially when Abigail decides to take matters into her own hands to try to win the straight-laced earl over. Using every tactic imaginable, she seems to push him further away rather than making him love her like he should. Tyler, the Earl of Blackstone, wants nothing to do with the wild duke's daughter. But fate has other plans when an evil force threatens and brings the two together in an all-consuming love...
A teenage girl's difficult journey towards adulthood in a time of war."A school story for grownups that is also about our inability or refusal to protect children from history" SARAH MOSS"Of all Szabo's novels, Abigail deserves the widest readership. It's an adventure story, brilliantly written" TIBOR FISCHEROf all her novels, Magda Szabó's Abigail is indeed the most widely read in her native Hungary. Now, fifty years after it was written, it appears for the first time in English, joining Katalin Street and The Door in a loose trilogy about the impact of war on those who have to live with the consequences. It is late 1943 and Hitler, exasperated by the slowness of his Hungarian ally to act on the "Jewish question" and alarmed by the weakness on his southern flank, is preparing to occupy the country. Foreseeing this, and concerned for his daughter's safety, a Budapest father decides to send her to a boarding school away from the capital. A lively, sophisticated, somewhat spoiled teenager, she is not impressed by the reasons she is given, and when the school turns out to be a fiercely Puritanical one in a provincial city a long way from home, she rebels outright. Her superior attitude offends her new classmates and things quickly turn sour.It is the start of a long and bitter learning curve that will open her eyes to her arrogant blindness to other people's true motives and feelings. Exposed for the first time to the realities of life for those less privileged than herself, and increasingly confronted by evidence of the more sinister purposes of the war, she learns lessons about the nature of loyalty, courage, sacrifice and love.Translated from the Hungarian by Len Rix
