Heart of a Samurai

By Margi Preus

Shipwrecks, whaling, a search for home and a delightful exploration of cultures create a swashbuckling adventure. This historical novel is based on the true story of Manjiro (later John Mung), the young fisherman believed to be the first Japanese person to visit America, who against all odds, becomes a samurai.

Moon Over Manifest

By Clare Vanderpool

This big-hearted, multi-generational epic set in small-town Kansas alternates between World War I and the Great Depression, but never strays too far from the tough-yet-vulnerable heroine Abilene Tucker. With a mix of letters, newspaper articles and a fortune teller's tales, the eclectic people and mysteries of Manifest spring to life.
