Written for a young audience, this intense memoir explores the harsh realities of life on the streets in contemporary North Korea. Every Falling Star is the memoir of Sungju Lee, who at the age of twelve was forced to live on the streets of North Korea and fend for himself. To survive, Sungju creates a gang and lives by thieving, fighting, begging, and stealing rides on cargo trains. Sungju richly recreates his scabrous story, depicting what it was like for a boy alone to create a new family with his gang, “his brothers,” to daily be hungry and to fear arrest, imprisonment, and even execution. This riveting memoir allows young readers to learn about other cultures where freedoms they take for granted do not exist.

An American geek with a supercharged brain saved the world when he vanquished the wicked lord of Faerie. Yet sooner than he expects, Kellen St. James will have to play the hero all over again. From the winner of the RONE Award for Best YA Book of 2019—comes the second book in the award-winning Star Child series.

The couple needs to make their escape, but Calienta’s immortal light shines so brightly there’s nowhere on earth they can hide. With no other alternative, Calienta becomes mortal and goes on the run with Kellen and his best man, Gabriel Stewart. The trio flees to Gabe’s family home in Bar Harbor, Maine, hoping it will be far enough away from Ireland to knock the C.O.D. off their trail. Yet Maine has its own faeries, and when Kellen is lured into the woods and experiences dreams that almost kill him, they realize they aren’t safe. Calienta isn’t the same goddess he almost married. She’s keeping secrets, and he fears it has something to do with the mysterious second part of the prophecy. When Gabe goes missing, Kellen finds himself trapped in the Cusp, the world between reality and Faerie. After a lifetime of never fitting in, the truth about Kellen St. James is revealed—and he’ll have to choose between the family he thinks he’s always wanted and the girl he loves.

In the spring of 2002, motivated by the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, National Football League stalwart Patrick Daniel Tillman turned down a multimillion-dollar contract to join the US Army. Two years later, he died while serving his country in the mountains of Afghanistan. In the process, he became an American icon. Inspired by Pat Tillman’s story, Fallen Stars captures the lives and times of Tillman (1976–2004) and four other war-hero American athletes: Hamilton “Ham” Fish (1873–98), Hobart “Hobey” Baker (1892–1918), Nile Kinnick (1918–43), and James Robert "Bob" Kalsu (1945–70), all of whom died while serving in the US military. Why a focus on fallen war-hero athletes, and why these five? Because here we have over a century’s worth of men who faced the fears and uncertainties that come with life and made the ultimate sacrifice. Their stories give us a kaleidoscopic picture of America over the course of more than one hundred years, and through them we can explore the wars America has participated in, the values that Americans have celebrated, and what it has meant, over time, to be an American hero.
