Book excerpt: Join us for the first book of the CADY WHIRLWIND THUNDER MYSTERIES Winner of the Historical Society of Michigan's book award for Children & Youth (2020) Winner of the Midwest Book Award for Young Adult Fiction (2020) Winner of the Upper Peninsula Notable Books award (2020) Cady, a 13-year-old girl of Native American heritage, has experienced major changes in the past year-her father's marriage to a younger woman, a new baby brother, and a move from Minnesota to Michigan where she attends a reservation school for the first time. One school day, Cady finds an eagle feather on the floor outside a classroom and reports it to the principal. When thanking her for this act of honor, he tells her that a mystery might soon appear in her life. Later, Cady discovers and antique Indian beaded necklace hidden under the floor of her bedroom closet. Is this the mystery the principal predicted might appear? She consults with elders who tell her it is her "job" to find out why. Helping her are her new friends Irish, John Ray and a talking blue jay. "I was enthralled by the story, its interesting characters, the mystery plot, the author's beautiful writing style spiced with wisdom and humor, and what I learned about tribal cultures and customs." -- Christine DeSmet, author of The Fudge Shop Mysteries "I LOVE IT. I could not put it down. I read the last few chapters slowly as possible the past few days because I was sad it was almost to the end of the book. I am looking forward to the next one." -- Faye DG Auginaush, from the White Earth Ojibwe in MN & Hannahville MI Potawatomi. "What a beautifully written story of a young Native American girl, Cady, and her search for love and answers. The author's descriptions and authentic dialogue will immerse the reader in Native American culture and history." -- Gregory L. Renz, author of Beneath the Flames "As the Director of the Crystal Falls District Community Library (MI), I highly recommend this book! It has mystery and adventure, with a hint of romance. I have bought this book for gifts, and it is just great. Ann Dallman can really write a tale for tween children that speaks to them on their level. Don't overthink it. Just put this in your cart now and buy it!" -- Evelyn Gathu "Cady is a beautifully drawn and very likeable character. Readers will feel lucky to have found Cady and accompanied her on a journey of self-discovery. Cady grows to appreciate how her people are much more in touch with the natural world, possess an ingrained sense of wonder, and a firm belief that nature in all its myriad forms communicates with them. Best of all they live in harmony with the natural world. And oh yes, this is a YA novel, but I defy anyone of any age to read a few pages and not become totally absorbed in Cady's life." -- Tom Powers, Michigan In Books Learn more at www.AnnDallman.com From Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join Cady and John Ray as they unravel a forgotten mystery... In Cady and the Birchbark Box, Cady Whirlwind Thunder solves the mystery behind a weathered journal found inside an old birchbark box. Why was the box buried behind a deserted garage? This is the question her friend and "crush," John Ray Chicaug, asks Cady after the two of them find it. And what meaning do the notes in the book have? Cady's grandma and her ever-present companion, a noisy blue jay, encourage her as she puts together the pieces and ultimately restores the reputation of a deceased elder. Cady does all this while navigating through another school year, earning a place on the school's soccer team and continuing to calm her temper and adjust to life with a new stepmother and baby brother. "I love Cady and the Birchbark Box. I read it with my daughter, who is very interested in Native American culture. The book is a fun adventure, sprinkled with history and culture. It is a great book for kids and adults alike. Great read!" -- August Brill, M.S., bilingual teacher, Chicago public schools "This well-crafted, beautiful novel immerses readers in the elegance of Native American culture as it delivers an emotional, intriguing mystery that readers from middle grade through adults will enjoy. Highly recommended!" -- Christine DeSmet, author of Fudge Shop Mystery Series "Ann Dallman's writing is a teacher's dream come true. Cady is a character students can relate to and learn from. While Cady is learning about her Native American culture and traditions, readers become immersed in a culture they may not have knowledge of." -- Gina Zanon, 5th-grade teacher, Menominee, MI "Another great mystery with our strong Anishnaabe Kwe Cady! As with the first book in this series, Cady and the Birchbark Box gives the reader insight into life on a Native American Reservation while also taking them on an exciting journey! The characters feel authentic and the use of Native traditions sprinkled throughout makes this book feel like home. I got sucked into the story immediately and love a good mystery! Native readers (children and adults alike) will feel seen and I wish I had this series to read when I was a child. I am thrilled that my children will grow up with Cady on their bookshelf. We will read of her adventures while drinking Ginger Ale and sitting outside with the Blue Jays. Until next time Cady, bama pi." --Larissa Wandahsega, Hannahville Indian Community member "I loved getting to know Cady! When I owned Falling Rock Cafe and Bookstore in Munising, MI, we sold many copies of Ann Dallman's first book in this series, Cady and the Bear Necklace. It was definitely a favorite among our customers. The mystery component of this second book kept me turning the pages, and I loved the coming-of-age aspects as well. It is very hard to find books for this age group about Native American culture, so I was happy to see another book by such an excellent writer and wonderful storyteller! Young people will enjoy the diverse themes, including journal writing, reservation life, Native American artistry, and intergenerational relationships. I hope there is a book 3 in this series!" --Nancy Dwyer, Munising, MI "Cady and the Birchbark Box is a wonderful second addition to the series. It is refreshing to read a book you can identify with and that represents your people and community--especially when there were so few fiction works involving the Anishnaabe people from the Upper Peninsula. Ms. Dallman provided many historically and culturally accurate examples that will encourage youth to keep reading. As an adult, it was a strong reminder to follow the traditions we were taught---no matter where you end up in life. --Cassie Gill, tribal member of Hannahville Potawatomi and former high school student of Ms. Dallman "I was away at a wholesale show when the books arrived; I just unpacked them today. I was able to read Cady and the Bear Necklace while sitting in our booth waiting for customers. I loved it! I really liked how the Native American traditions and modern way of life were interspersed throughout the book and never felt like it was part of a "lecture," which I find often in YA. Well done!" --Laurie Rose, owner, Thunder Bay Press, West Branch, MI Learn more at www.AnnDallman.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like her great-great-grandmother, Hollyanna wears the Teddy Bear necklace with pride. The 5th-generation family heirloom has more sentimental value to her than it does monetary worth. Holly is on the top of the world with everything going her way. As a member of the United States Ski Team, Holly is among the world's best and favored to win the Gold Medal at the Olympics to be held in Jackson, WY in the coming year. Zephyr finds himself in the same position and is poised to do the same for the men's team. However, a tragic accident at the championships leaves Zephyr paralyzed, his Olympic dreams unfulfilled while leaving his family with mounting medical bills. Longing for a way to help Zephyr and his family, Holly decides to sell the Teddy Bear Necklace to raise what money she can to help someone, who to this point, had been a mere acquaintance. Her act of kindness leads to a friendship she never expected, or ever thought was possible. At the Olympics, both had the experiences of a lifetime, worth more than Gold. Zephyr was wanting and hoping for more than friendship, something Holly is reluctant to commit to because of the distance that separates them. While Holly is struggling with her feelings, she finds out that Zephyr's struggles made the news, learning that her friend is fighting for his life. Holly had new worries now. Her intentions had always been good and had made good on her vow to sell the necklace which meant nothing to her now, relative to the life of her friend. She feared there was nothing or no one that could save him. As long as he was alive, there was still hope and she would offer her prayers to go along with that hope. What would their friendship be like from this day forward? The only one that knew the answer to that question was God. She would wait as long as it took for the answer to her prayer. Holly desperately hoped His plans allowed for her friendship with Zephyr to continue to grow. My name is Jeffrey K. Danowski and I am a published author and award-winning journalist. Teddy Bear Necklace for sale is my eighth published work of art. Writing is something that I came to enjoy at a very young age. The benefits from my creative talent come from sharing my storytelling ability with others. On occasion, I volunteer my talent, putting on seminars and writing clinics for students. The goal with each book is to give my readers something they can appreciate and enjoy. And if your dream is to publish your own book-then my advice to you is to pursue your dream and make it come true.

The police rule Savannah’s murder a random attack of opportunity, which prompts the small New Jersey town to instigate a curfew and cancel football games. Isolated and afraid, Savannah’s sister, Cady, continues to communicate with Savannah through dreams. Cady knows Savannah in ways no one else knew: The beautiful, ethereal twin everyone thought was an angel was actually on the road to self-destruction. Years later a chance encounter while researching her latest novel coincides with an unexpected call from the once-rookie cop on Savannah’s case, Patrick Tunney, now a detective, who tells Cady that Savannah’s case has been reopened. Through new evidence, it has been determined that Savannah’s death wasn’t a random attack and that whoever killed her sister loved her.

Book excerpt: Steve Inskeep tells the riveting story of John and Jessie Frémont, the husband and wife team who in the 1800s were instrumental in the westward expansion of the United States, and thus became America's first great political couple John C. Frémont, one of the United States’s leading explorers of the nineteenth century, was relatively unknown in 1842, when he commanded the first of his expeditions to the uncharted West. But in only a few years, he was one of the most acclaimed people of the age – known as a wilderness explorer, bestselling writer, gallant army officer, and latter-day conquistador, who in 1846 began the United States’s takeover of California from Mexico. He was not even 40 years old when Americans began naming mountains and towns after him. He had perfect timing, exploring the West just as it captured the nation’s attention. But the most important factor in his fame may have been the person who made it all possible: his wife, Jessie Benton Frémont. Jessie, the daughter of a United States senator who was deeply involved in the West, provided her husband with entrée to the highest levels of government and media, and his career reached new heights only a few months after their elopement. During a time when women were allowed to make few choices for themselves, Jessie – who herself aspired to roles in exploration and politics – threw her skill and passion into promoting her husband. She worked to carefully edit and publicize his accounts of his travels, attracted talented young men to his circle, and lashed out at his enemies. She became her husband’s political adviser, as well as a power player in her own right. In 1856, the famous couple strategized as John became the first-ever presidential nominee of the newly established Republican Party. With rare detail and in consummate style, Steve Inskeep tells the story of a couple whose joint ambitions and talents intertwined with those of the nascent United States itself. Taking advantage of expanding news media, aided by an increasingly literate public, the two linked their names to the three great national movements of the time—westward settlement, women’s rights, and opposition to slavery. Together, John and Jessie Frémont took parts in events that defined the country and gave rise to a new, more global America. Theirs is a surprisingly modern tale of ambition and fame; they lived in a time of social and technological disruption and divisive politics that foreshadowed our own. In Imperfect Union, as Inskeep navigates these deeply transformative years through Jessie and John’s own union, he reveals how the Frémonts’ adventures amount to nothing less than a tour of the early American soul.

Jamie Kangas struggles with turbulent emotions caused by the death of his father, who perished in a logging accident--an accident for which Jamie blames himself. Jamie's widowed mother must raise her son in the Fox River logging camp set deep in the wilderness of Upper Michigan. While his mother works as camp cook, Jamie is run ragged as chore boy for the lumberjacks in a world that offers only endless work and loneliness. The grinding dreariness fades when Jamie meets a Native America boy, Gray Feather. A friendship grows and Gray Feather becomes Jamie's mentor as the two face the challenges of a harsh environment and prejudiced world. But Gray Feather carries a burden of his own, which may destroy him. And as one tree after another fall with the sawyer's blade, Jamie hears the ghostly words of his deceased father warning of future catastrophe.
