The Feathered Cloak
By Sean Dixon


When eleven-year-old Freya meets Morton—a peregrine falcon who has been stripped of his feathers—she has no idea what to make of him. Soon the often bad-tempered girl realizes she can communicate with the once-majestic bird and before long the two have formed an uncommon friendship. But when they find themselves at the centre of a battlefield—one that pits the old ways against the new, mortal against god, pagan against Christian, and brother against brother, they soon come to believe that this may be the end for the race of Norse gods and goddesses and the Vikings who fight in their shadows. (Ages 9-12)

The Salt and Pepper Chronicles!

Check out this cool series of books about teen detectives Pepper McKenzie and Christine "Salt" Bellamy!

Christine Bellamy and Pepper McKenzie are best friends — so close that everyone calls Christine “Salt.” Christine’s not sure if she likes the nickname or not, but she does know that life is certainly never boring when the two of them get together! Come along with these two teen detectives (and Salt’s mega-annoying little brother, Hal) as they solve mysteries and have more than a few laughs along the way! (Ages 9-12)

With four books available and more on the way, this series is well worth checking out! Start with Salt and Pepper's own website at http://www.keyporter.com/saltandpepper/, and subscribe to our newsletter at kpwire@keyporter.com to win free copies of the first two installments!
