“The Hired Girl,” by Laura Amy Schlitz

Teen fiction. Fourteen-year-old Joan Skraggs, just like the heroines in her beloved novels, yearns for real life and true love. But what hope is there for adventure, beauty or art on a hardscrabble farm in Pennsylvania where the work never ends? Over the summer of 1911, Joan pours her heart out into her diary as she seeks a new, better life for herself — because maybe a hired girl cleaning and cooking for $6 a week can become what a farm girl could only dream of — a woman with a future.

“The Princess and the Pony,” by Kate Beaton

Children’s picture book. Princess Pinecone wants a fierce warhorse for her birthday ... but what she gets instead is a plump, adorable pony. But cuteness can be a weapon all its own, especially in a war fought with dodgeballs and spitballs instead of cannonballs. Renowned webcomic artist Kate Beaton presents a cute but plucky tale of how outward appearances can be deceiving.

Oliver finds himself fleeing home and family to return to the place of his childhood, where he finds within himself the reasons for his actions and what led him to his current way of life.
