Keeper of the Winds by Russell Davis Pdf

This YA fantasy novel about a teenager who takes on her family legacy of special powers has “an intriguing and trendy concept”(Booklist). When nineteen-year-old Jenna Solitaire loses her grandfather, her only remaining family, she discovers a trunk in the attic. Inside she finds a planchette made of bone and an ancient wooden board scorched by fire and covered in strange symbols. Thinking only to connect with some element of her past, Jenna attempts to use it, and soon there is a voice whispering long-lost secrets in her mind. Secrets about her family, and the role handed down through generations of Solitaire women: Keeper of the Board. Thrust into a world she doesn't understand, Jenna must master the Board itself, even as she faces forces who will stop at nothing to take the Board for themselves. As Jenna struggles to determine who she can trust, she encounters, Simon Monk, who appears to have her best interests in mind, but frightens Jenna with his intensity. Jenna must conquer her doubts, her fears, and take on the mantle of Keeper of the Board and the Daughter of Destiny, or leave the Earth itself in peril. “Jenna’s struggle to decide who she can and cannot rely on will strike a chord with readers, as will her reluctant attraction to Simon. . . . Recommended.” —Voices of Youth Advocates “Compelling.” —School Library Journal “Jenna Solitaire is an exciting new presence . . . Bring it on, Jenna!” —Nancy Holder, Bram Stoker Award–winning author of Queen of the Slayers and Pretty Little Devils

The Adventures of Ulysses by Bernard Evslin Pdf

The occasion of forty years of teaching at Amherst by William H. Pritchard, the renowned critic of Frost, Jarrell, and many others, has generated a remarkable collection of essays by former students, colleagues, and friends.The essays themselves are a spectrum of contemporary, criticism, ranging from classroom memoirs to analytic essay-in-criticism to assessment of the state of academic letters today. These contributions, a tribute, by reason of their very range, are a salute to the breadth of William Pritchard's circle of literary acquaintance. Under Criticism demonstrates the fine persistence in certain manners of approach and habits of focus that go, among that circle, lander the name of criticism.Drawing foremost on their engagement with the literature before them, Christopher Ricks, Helen Vendler, Patricia Meyer Spacks, Neil Hertz, David Ferry, Paul Alpers, Joseph Epstein, and Frank Lentricchia -- as well as fifteen other critics and men and women of letters -- reinforce Professor Pritchard's prescription that in order to have a hearing, the critic needs to keep listening.
