"A tiny-but-mighty little mouse faces down an incoming storm to protect her home. A tribute to courage and the rugged beauty of Cape Cod from Newbery Honor-winning author Lauren Wolk.
"A triumphant tale of defending what you love.″ -Kirkus, starred review
The Outermost Mouse loves her life at the tip of the beach. She has blue sky above and sand as warm and soft as her mother below.
Best of all is the house, a huge nest she has made her own. There are jam-jar posies, lanterns full of gold, and a clock that tick-tocks her to sleep at night.
But a storm is coming. When the sky goes dark and a cold wind rises, the little mouse must do everything she can to protect her home. Even though she's small enough to fit into a teacup, the Outermost Mouse is smart, strong, and brave-and ready to face the wild waves.
Illustrator Kristen Adam brilliantly captures the snug warmth and fierce beauty of the Outermost Mouse's shoreline world in Newbery Honor-winning author Lauren Wolk's glorious tribute to the courage and tenacity of a tiny-but-mighty heroine."
"A moving portrait of loss and the restorative power of art from Lauren Wolk, the Newbery Honor-winning author of Beyond the Bright Sea.
Lucretia Sanderson has a secret.
Lucretia and her mother have come to tiny Candle Island, Maine (Population: Summer, 986; Winter, 315) to escape-escape memories of the car accident that killed her father and escape the journalists that hound her mother, a famous and reclusive artist. The rocky coast and ocean breeze are a welcome respite for Lucretia, who dedicates her summer days to painting, exploring the island, and caring for an orphaned osprey chick.
But Candle Island has secrets of its own-a hidden room in her new house, a mysterious boy with a beautiful voice-and just like the strong tides that surround the shores, they will catch Lucretia in their wake.
With an unforgettable New England setting and a complex web of relationships old and new, Candle Island is a powerful story about art, loss, and the power of being true to your own voice."
