After his family dies of consumption in 1849, twelve-year-old Lucas becomes a doctor's apprentice in this award-winning chapter book from beloved author Cynthia DeFelice, The Apprenticeship of Lucas Whitaker. It's 1849, and twelve-year-old, Lucas Whitaker is all alone after his whole family dies of a disease called consumption which has swept through the community. Lucas is grief-stricken and filled with guilt. He might have saved his mother, who was the last to die, if only he had listened to news of a strange cure for this deadly disease. Unable to manage the family farm by himself, Lucas finds work as an apprentice to Doc Beecher, doctor, dentist, barber and undertaker. Doc amputates a leg as easily as he pulls a tooth, yet when it comes to consumption, he remains powerless, unwilling to try the cure he calls nonsense. Lucas can't accept Doc's disbelief, and he joins others in the dark ritual they believe is their only hope. The startling results teach Lucas a great deal about fear, desperation, and the scientific reasoning that offers hope for a true cure. The Apprenticeship of Lucas Whitaker is a Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

But I know Weasel is real: a man, an Indian fighter the government sent to drive off the Indians -- to "remove them." Weasel has his own ideas about removal...Now that the Shawnees are dead or have left, Weasel has turned on the settlers. Like his namesake, the weasel, he hunts by night and sleeps by day, and he kills not because he is hungry, but for the sport of it...I know what I have to do. Weasel is out there. He could come here and hurt us. Maybe Pa can wait for the day when we'll have the law to take care of men like Weasel. But I can't...

Il Disturbo Bipolare, una malattia mentale, che se non curata, diventa letale, la scrittrice, solo dopo molti episodi, e dopo molti anni, ne viene a conoscenza. Il libro, la sua introspezione, non vuole essere un trattato, su questa malattia, ma l' espressione pura, del tormento che essa crea, nella mente malata. Il libro, parla in prima persona di quello che ha vissuto la scrittrice, prima senza avere la consapevolezza, della patologia, che ne ha cambiato radicalmente la vita. E poi avendo in lei scoperto finalmente da una psichiatra di che tipo di patologia si trattava, con la consapevolezza, lei ha potuto descrivere nei minimi dettagli, le varie fasi, nella sua vita, di questa patologia, chiamata Disturbo Bipolare. E' un libro estremamente crudo, drammatico, che permette di addentrarsi nella mente di chi soffre di questa malattia, La storia terribile, che la protagonista racconta, inserendo in essa, anche figure a lei vicine, e di come lei, vedeva il tutto, attraverso i suoi occhi.
