The Robber and Me by Josef Holub

In a remote corner of the forests of Germany lies a small farming

village called Graab.  When young Boniface Schroll, a shy orphan,

is abandoned in the forest late one night, a mysterious man in a

black hat comes to his rescue.  Or at least, that’s what Boniface

thinks when he wakes up the next morning at his Uncle Emil’s

house. 

 

When a series of holdups are committed by a man wearing a big black hat, Boniface is forced to make the most important decision of his life.  Will the truth separate Boniface from his new family or transform him into the real son he longs to become?

 

Set in nineteenth-century Germany, this novel shows how one boy struggles to do what he believes is right in the face of a town’s prejudice.  A heartwarming story about the triumph of friendship and the power of honesty.

Fairest by Gail Carson Levine

The dreaded Lucinda from Ella Enchanted  is back and once

again has given a dreadful gift.  This time it’s a mysterious

magical mirror.  The gift is disastrous when it falls into the

hands of Aza, who never looks in a mirror if she can help it.

Aza is most definitely not the fairest of them all – she keeps

out of sight to avoid scoff and spurning of others.

 

In the land of singers, Aza has her own gift, one she’s come by

without fairy intervention – a voice that captivates all who hear

it.  In Ontio Castle, Prince Ijori is drawn to it…but Queen Ivi has

her own motives. She’d do anything to remain the fairest in the land. 

 

In this spellbinding tale filled with humor, adventure, romance, and song, you’re invited to join Aza as she discovers how beautiful she truly is!
