Could YOU Forgive?

Would you know what to do if this happened to you?

Hidden

by Helen Frost

When Wren and Darra meet at age 14, they recognize each other instantly, though they've never actually seen each other.  It has been 6 years since something happened that affected them both profoundly: Darra's father stole a car and drove it home, not knowing that Wren was hiding in the back.  Darra was the only one who guessed that Wren stayed hidden in their locked garage.

For Wren, hungry, thirsty, trapped, and terrified, the hours dragged on as she searched for a way out.

Now in Cabin 8, each girl knows the other's most private secret- - and neither of them wants to talk about what happened...

Stories Told Through Poetry

A poetic exploration of the construction of 

the Panama Canal.

Silver People 

Voices from the Panama Canal

by Margarita Engle

Fourteen-year-old Mateo and other Caribbean islanders face discrimination, segregation, and harsh working conditions when American recruiters lure them to the Panamanian rain forest in 1906 to build the great canal.

From the young "silver people" whose backbreaking labor built the Canal to the denizens of the endangered rain forest itself, this is the story of one of the largest and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken...beautifully told through the voices of the workers in the form of 

short poems.
