It's a good day for flying with the ravens: pale-blue sky, wispy clouds, gentle updrafts. It's also the last ordinary day before everything changes forever. To Nettle and her cousin Bracken, the youngest witches in the coven, the world outside their hidden valley is enticing, mysterious, and forbidden; but they never imagined they would ever see it. Then suddenly the veil that protects their valley is broached and the Wellspring Water needed to repair it is polluted, forcing them to travel to a human city in search of the Door to another world. A wishing necklace, seeking stones, a wily raccoon, human Witchfriends, and long-lost loved ones help Nettle and Bracken on their quest. Will their fledgling magic be strong enough, or will encroaching human civilization spell the end of Witchkind?

Our Way Or the Highway

Inside the Minnehaha Free State

By: Mary Losure

Construction plans for the reroute of Highway 55 through south Minneapolis sparked an environmental movement that pitted activists against public authorities in one of the most dramatic episodes in the city's history. Mary Losure was there: as a reporter for Minneapolis Public Radio she witnessed the neighborhood's transformation from a quiet street to the center of an emotionally charged standoff. Fueled by idealism and anger, a diverse coalition of Native Americans, neighborhood residents, and young anarchists banded together to try to stop the highway expansion. Beginning in 1998, this group sustained protests for more than a year and eventually faced an unprecedented show of force by law enforcement." "Through her detailed account of this struggle, Losure explores the roles of ecoanarchism and grassroots activism in the age of globalization. This subculture, brought to the spotlight during protests over the World Trade Organization in Seattle and Genoa, has been largely undocumented in the mainstream press. With a practical reporter's eye, Mary Losure portrays the activists' experiences and the establishment's view of them, ultimately revealing the power of the existing order and the fragility and absolute necessity of dissent."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Isaac the Alchemist: Secrets of Isaac Newton, Reveal'd

By: Mary Losure

A surprising true story of Isaac Newton’s boyhood suggests an intellectual development owing as much to magic as science. Before Isaac Newton became the father of physics, an accomplished mathematician, or a leader of the scientific revolution, he was a boy living in an apothecary’s house, observing and experimenting, recording his observations of the world in a tiny notebook. As a young genius living in a time before science as we know it existed, Isaac studied the few books he could get his hands on, built handmade machines, and experimented with alchemy—a process of chemical reactions that seemed, at the time, to be magical. Mary Losure’s riveting narrative nonfiction account of Isaac’s early life traces his development as a thinker from his childhood, in friendly prose that will capture the attention of today’s budding scientists—as if by magic. Back matter includes an afterword, an author’s note, source notes, and a bibliography.
