Walkers goal is to survive at the new white private school his mom has sent him to because she thinks hes going to screw up like his cousin. But hes a good kid. So is his friend Matteo, though no one knows why hell do absolutely anything that hot blond Brianna asks of him.

oung Gav can remember the page of a book after seeing it once, and, inexplicably, he sometimes remembers things that are going to happen in the future. As a loyal slave, he must keep these powers secret, but when a terrible tragedy occurs, Gav, blinded by grief, flees the only world he has ever known. And in what becomes a treacherous journey for freedom, Gavs greatest test of all is facing his powers so that he can come to understand himself and finally find a true home. This third book in the Annals of the Western Shore series is an epic story of survival and self-discovery that speaks to the power of new beginnings, and most importantly, of hope. Includes maps.

Since 1919, educators, librarians, booksellers, and families have celebrated Childrens Book Week during the week before Thanksgiving. Childrens Book Week 2007 is November 12-18, and the theme for this 88th annual observance is Rise Up Reading! Special materials available for purchase from the Childrens Book Council were created by some of todays hottest childrens book stars. Use these posters, bookmarks, and other items to decorate your walls, promote your events, and, most importantly, encourage kids to read. Be sure to visit the Childrens Book Councils website at www.cbcbooks.org for more information, ideas, and free downloadable materials for Childrens Book Week 2007. Harcourt Childrens Books is a proud member of the Childrens Book Council (CBC), a nonprot trade organization that encourages the use and enjoyment of books and related literacy materials for young people. Our books from the current and immediately preceding year are available for examination at the CBC Library, 12 W. 37th Street, New York, NY 10018. The library is open to the public from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
