		<description><![CDATA[Destination Gold, by Julie Lawson • Orca Books, 2000. 210 pages.
As a Californian, I can be a bit myopic about the gold rush. Wasn&#8217;t it something grizzled men in overalls did before founding the Mechanics&#8217; Institute, inventing the cable car, and establishing a football team?

		<description><![CDATA[The Sky is Falling, by Kit Pearson • Viking Kestrel, 1989
Norah Stoakes doesn&#8217;t mind the war. In fact, she can&#8217;t understand how anyone can bear to be sent away from it, and thrives on the &#8220;bright edge&#8221; it gives her world.
But then Norah&#8217;s parents decide that it&#8217;s time to send her and her younger brother [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dust, by Arthur Slade • Wendy Lamb Books, 2003.
So much for judging a book by its cover! I picked up Dust expecting Steinbeck, and I got Ray Bradbury instead (though at second glance, that iridescent butterfly should have clued me in that something more-than-naturalism was afoot). The book was, for lack of a better word, [...]]]></description>

Choon-yi is a Chinese peasant girl, born with only one arm. Her mother is horrified by her daughter&#8217;s deformity, but Choon-yi and her father are close, and he strives to give her the happiest childhood possible.

		<description><![CDATA[The Séance, by Iain Lawrence • Yearling, 2009
