\"\"Greener Grass: the Famine Years<\/a> by Caroline Pignat
\n<\/strong>(Interest Level: Grades 8-12)
\nThe Byrne’s family is a strong one, but their strength and unity are being severely tested, as life becomes more and more desperate in 19th century rural Ireland. When the potato blight hits, the farmers can no longer make their payments much less produce food for themselves, and the cruel system has no mercy as Lord Fraser wields an iron fist, driving families from their homes and burning their cottages. Families must fight for survival even if that means escape Ireland for good.<\/p>\n

\"\"An Infidel in Paradise<\/a> by S.J. Laidlaw
\n<\/strong>(Interest Level: Grades 9-12)
\n<\/strong>Set in Pakistan, this is the story of a teen girl living with her mother and siblings in a diplomatic compound. As if getting used to another new country and set of customs and friends isn’t enough, she must cope with an increasingly tense political situation that becomes dangerous with alarming speed. Her life and those of her sister and brother depend on her resourcefulness and the unexpected help of an enigmatic Muslim classmate.

\"\"Last Message<\/a>\u00a0by Shane Peacock
\n<\/strong>(Interest Level: Grades 7-9)
\nAdam has a good life in Buffalo: great parents, a cute girlfriend, adequate grades. He’s not the best at anything, but he’s not the worst either. When his dead grandfather’s will stipulates that he go on a mission to France, Adam figures he might just have a chance to impress a girl and change his life from good to great. When he gets to France, he discovers he has not one but three near-impossible tasks before him. He also discovers a dark and shameful episode from his grandfather’s past, something Adam is supposed to make amends for. But how can he do that when he barely speaks the language and his tasks become more and more dangerous?\u00a0

\"\"My Deal with the Universe<\/a> by Deborah Kerbel
\n<\/strong>(Interest Level: Grades 2-4)
\n<\/strong>All twelve year-old Daisy Fisher wants is to be normal. But growing up in the house disparagingly referred to as the \u201cJungle\u201d makes that pretty much impossible. When your parents\u2019 activism brands them as a nuisance and your house is overrun with vines and critters, it\u2019s not so easy to fit in. Or when your twin brother\u2019s cancer might be growing back. Will this be the summer Daisy changes things for the better? Can Daisy cultivate some courage, and figure out a way to keep her brother healthy, maybe life will finally be normal. Or will it?

Even though her parents, once lost at sea, are home, there\u2019s a whole slew of problems and mysteries to keep Primrose busy.
