Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse
NOMINATED FOR THE 2021 HUGO AWARDS AND THE 2020 NEBULA AWARDS FOR BEST NOVEL
From the New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Resistance Reborn comes
the first book in the Between Earth and Sky trilogy, inspired by the
civilizations of the Pre-Columbian Americas and woven into a tale of
celestial prophecies, political intrigue, and forbidden magic.
A god will return
When the earth and sky converge
Under the black sun
In
the holy city of Tova, the winter solstice is usually a time for
celebration and renewal, but this year it coincides with a solar
eclipse, a rare celestial event proscribed by the Sun Priest as an
unbalancing of the world.
Meanwhile, a ship launches from a
distant city bound for Tova and set to arrive on the solstice. The
captain of the ship, Xiala, is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the
waters around her as easily as it can warp a man’s mind. Her ship
carries one passenger. Described as harmless, the passenger, Serapio, is
a young man, blind, scarred, and cloaked in destiny. As Xiala well
knows, when a man is described as harmless, he usually ends up being a
villain.
Crafted with unforgettable characters, Rebecca
Roanhorse has created an epic adventure exploring the decadence of power
amidst the weight of history and the struggle of individuals swimming
against the confines of society and their broken pasts in the most
original series debut of the decade.

Marjory Saves the Everglades: The Story of Marjory Stoneman Douglas by Sandra Neil Wallace, illustrated by Rebecca Gibbon
“Vibrant…an ideal starting point for further learning.” —School Library Journal
“A lively portrayal of Douglas as a remarkable individual and a significant environmental activist.” —Booklist
From
acclaimed children’s book biographer Sandra Neil Wallace comes the
inspiring and little-known story of Marjory Stoneman Douglas, the
remarkable journalist who saved the Florida Everglades from development
and ruin.
Marjory Stoneman Douglas didn’t intend to write
about the Everglades but when she returned to Florida from World War I,
she hardly recognized the place that was her home. The Florida that
Marjory knew was rapidly disappearing—the rare orchids, magnificent
birds, and massive trees disappearing with it.
Marjory couldn’t sit back and watch her home be destroyed—she had to
do something. Thanks to Marjory, a part of the Everglades became a
national park and the first park not created for sightseeing, but for
the benefit of animals and plants. Without Marjory, the part of her home
that she loved so much would have been destroyed instead of the
protected wildlife reserve it has become today.
