From Amazon: One morning, River Rose Byrne wakes up talking like nobody else, and she doesn’t know why. Maybe it’s because her beloved older brother, Theron, has abruptly vanished. Maybe it’s because that bully Daniel Bunch won’t leave her alone. Or maybe it has everything to do with the eerily familiar house that her mind explores when she’s asleep, and the mysterious woman who lives there.
River has to puzzle through these mysteries on her own until she makes a strange new friend named Meadow Lark. But when she brings Meadow Lark home and her mother reacts in a way that takes River by surprise, River is more lost than before. Now all that’s left for her to do is make wish after wish—and keep her eyes open for a miracle.
Marilyn Hilton’s haunting debut dives down deep into murky waters brimming with secrets, sorrow, and hope, giving us faith in the things that we seek, but haven’t yet found.
AND
Now out in paperback! From Indiebound: In a magical land called Ellegandia, a young boy named Promi scrapes by, stealing pies, cakes and sweets to survive. But little does he know that his country is a pawn in an ages-old war between good and evil, battled both in the spirit realm and in the human world. Harboring secrets of his own, Promi teams up with a courageous girl named Atlanta and the two vow to save their
land—and each other—no matter the cost. But their vow has greater repercussions than they ever could imagine—in fact, it may just bring about the creation of Atlantis, an island cut off from the rest of the world, where magic reigns supreme.
T.A. Barron, author of the Merlin Saga, explores a new mythology—the origin of the legendary isle of Atlantis.

Would love to read these books!
Found Things sounds so intriguing… I’ve always been entranced by things found: found poetry, things I thought I lost but were somewhere really obvious, and things definitely lost that my kid (aka: the “finder”) locates with such ease. Sometimes, when I’m very lucky I find an awesome idea for a story….
Thanks for this chance to win. Found Things is especially interesting to me.
please and thank you! they both sound wonderful.
