  • When a tornado watch is issued one Tuesday evening in June, twelve-year-old Dan Hatch and his best friend, Arthur, don't think much of it. After all, tornado warnings are a way of life during the summer in Grand Island, Nebraska. But soon enough, the wind begins to howl and the lights and telephone stop working. Then the emergency siren starts to wail. Dan, his baby brother, and Arthur have only seconds to get to the basement before the monstrous twister is on top of them. Little do they know that, even if they do survive the storm, their ordeal will have only just begun.

  • Through the alternating voices of twelve-year-old Morning Girl and her younger brother Star Boy, we step into the extraordinarily rich lives of an indigenous family on a Bahamian Island in 1492—just as their paradise is about to be discovered and a new world order begins to take shape.

    Beautifully painted in words by Michael Dorris and narrated with great sensitivity by sister and brother narrators Eliza and Riley Duggan, this exceptional recording will find its place in the hearts of listeners of all ages.
