Sometimes a magic portal can be found in ordinary things. That’s exactly what Eleanor Mason discovers when she receives a tattered book of stories from her father. When eleven-year-old Eleanor receives a gift from her father, she never imagines it will open a portal to a fairytale world. Upon reading the first sentence of chapter one, she finds herself standing in the middle of Nightshade Forest—a dark woods with glowing blue and purple trees. Ichabod Surname never imagined he’d be spending a Friday afternoon cross-country skiing with a grandma dragon—but that’s exactly what happens when he finds a giant egg on the way to school. An exciting coming-of-age story combining a mysterious journal, Great Lakes shipwrecks, and traditions of the Anishnabe. Cady Whirlwind Thunder solves another mystery with the help of her friends, Irish and John Ray Chicaug, and an ever-present blue jay. A pirate, a Great Lakes shipping captain, a dashing, Italian spy, and the lonely, pregnant, young mother who loved them all. Conlan’s poignant reflections upon the vital role nature plays in all our lives will resonate with readers of all ages. Remembering school days, farm chores, and friendship among youngsters and their interaction with their parents, teachers, and each other. What was true in the "old" days is--in many ways--just as true today as students deal with daily life and its many rewards and challenges. 7th Edition of the UPPAA anthology includes more than sixty poems, short stories, and autobiographical pieces.
