Media Reviews
"The book is a form of meditation, written with headlong urgency, about seeing....A reader's heart must go out to a young writer with a sense of wonder so fearless and unbridled....There is an ambition about her book that I like....It is the ambition to feel....[But] I honestly do not know what she is talking about at...times." -- Eudora Welty
-- New York Times Book Review

Joyful Noise
by Paul Fleischman
Written to be read aloud by two voices, here are poems--funny, sad, loud, and quiet--that resound with a booming, boisterous, joyful noise. "This marvelous, lyrical evocation of the insect world demands accolades. . . . There are 14 poems in the handsomely designed volume, with wonderfully interpretive illustrations. Each selection is a gem, polished to perfection".--The Horn Book. Newbery Award; ALA Notable Children's Book; ALA Best Book for Young Adults.
The Diviners.
by Margaret Laurence
The culmination of the Manawaka cycle, and Laurence's final novel, The Diviners is an epic tour de force. It is the story of Morag Gunn, an independent woman who refuses to abandon her search for love. We follow her from her lonely childhood in a small town on the Canadian prairie through her demeaning marriage and escape from it into writing, fiction, and finally back to rural Canada, where she faces a different challenge - the necessity to understand, and let go of, the daughter she loves. Throughout, Morag is forced to test her strength against the world - and at last achieves the life she had determined would be hers. In Morag Gunn, Laurence has created a figure whose experience emerges as that of all dispossessed people in search of their birthright, and one who survives as an inspirational symbol of courage and endurance.
