Her locker combination doesn’t work, she’s late to all her classes, and she doesn’t know a single person.

Someone threw a stone at the car window and caused the crash, and Helen is sure she saw a man in the woods nearby. When the police arrest one of her fellow students, she knows they have the wrong person—but Pinky is the only one who believes her. Will she be able to find the true identity of the man into the woods before it’s too late?/divDIV /divDIVThis ebook features an illustrated biography of Rosemary Wells including rare images from the author’s collection./div/div/div

Ivy Takes Care

By: Rosemary Wells

In a heart- and humor-filled adventure by On the Blue Comet author Rosemary Wells, a girl spends a summer caring for animals in the mid-century Southwest. Brokenhearted after her best friend leaves for the entire summer, Ivy rallies and finds herself something new and exciting to do: she hires herself out to look after people’s farm animals and pets while they’re away. So begins a summer of discovery and definition for tenderhearted but sensible Ivy, who must win over the stubborn pony Chestnut, take on the training of a puppy named Inca, and patiently court the trust of the magnificent but scarred racehorse, Andromeda. All this while tending to her own private hurts and hopes, and managing the hapless tagalong Billy Joe, who has a knack for trouble and accidents like nobody else. Celebrated writer Rosemary Wells delivers a compassionately observed and exquisitely distilled novel set in mid-century Nevada about a heroine with an exceptional gift, a heart of gold, and a budding dream for her future.

Lassie Come-Home

Eric Knight's Original 1938 Classic in a New Picture-Book Edition

By: Rosemary Wells

Lassie is Joe's prize collie and constant companion. But when Joe's father loses his job, Lassie must be sold. Three times she escapes from her new owner, and three times she returns, until finally she is taken to the remotest part of Scotland -- too far a journey for any dog to make alone. But Lassie is not any dog. Lassie Come-Home was a publishing phenomenon when it appeared as a short story in 1938 and then as a novel in 1940. Now, Rosemary Wells and Susan Jeffers have crafted Eric Knight's original novel into a powerful new chapter-book edition. Through masterful storytelling and deeply affecting art, they take us back to a Lassie before Hollywood, before TV, and introduce this unforgettable, heartrending tale to the minds and imaginations of a new generation of readers.

Mary On Horseback

Three Mountain Stories

By: Rosemary Wells

Master storyteller Rosemary Wells tells the incredible true story of a World War I nurse who brought medical care to the Appalachians Mary Breckinridge, trained as a nurse during World War I, rode on horseback into the isolated mountains of Appalachia and never looked back. Instead, she spent her life fording icy streams and climbing untracked mountains to bring medical help to those in need. More nurses on horseback joined Mary . . . and the Frontier Nursing Service was born. Mary’s story is amazing. And it is true. “Wells’s realistic yet poetic prose perfectly captures the dichotomy of the majestic beauty of Appalachia and the harsh realities of mountain life. . . . This one’s a gem.”—School Library Journal
