A classic ethnography of continuing importance
A young lord faces off against an ingenious general in an epic fantasy that's "twisty in its political maneuverings, gritty in its battle descriptions, and rich with a sense of heroism and glory." (Publishers Weekly) Beyond the Black River, among the forests and mountains of the north, lives an ancient race of people. Their lives are measured in centuries, not decades; they revel in wilderness and resilience, and they scorn wealth and comfort. By contrast, those in the south live in the moment, their lives more fleeting. They crave wealth and power; their ambition is limitless, and their cunning unmatched. When the armies of the south flood across the Black river, the fragile peace between the two races is shattered. On a lightning-struck battlefield, the two sides will fight -- for their people, for their land, for their very survival.
With the seasons of the year as a backdrop, author Diane Holliday describes what life was like for a Ho-Chunk girl who lived in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Central to the story is the movement of Mountain Wolf Woman and her family in and around Wisconsin. Like many Ho-Chunk people in the mid-1800s, Mountain Wolf Woman's family was displaced to Nebraska by the U.S. government. They later returned to Wisconsin but continued to relocate throughout the state as the seasons changed to gather and hunt food. Based on her own autobiography as told to anthropologist Nancy Lurie, Mountain Wolf Woman's words are used throughout the book to capture her feelings and memories during childhood. Author Holliday draws young readers into this Badger Biographies series book by asking them to think about how the lives of their ancestors and how their lives today compare to the way Mountain Wolf Woman lived over a hundred years ago.

On a incredible journey of magic, fantasy and mystery, a young man comes of age in the shadow of a supernatural family legacy. Savaric doesn’t know what to think. Is he a warlock? Is he cursed? Is he even of this earth? Everyone already looks at him strangely everywhere he goes. Then Savaric discovers that, under the right circumstances, he can become invisible. Could it have something to do with the dark powers in which his grandmother dabbled on the day he was born? The search for the answer leads him to a mysterious map. It’s written in language he’s never seen. It’s of place he’s never heard of. And now in possession of a beautiful, and equally puzzling, golden key, Savaric’s curiosity is getting the best of him. Embarking on this strange quest, he meets many new friends—human and otherwise. He also discovers his mission in life. Savaric has been destined to save a kingdom. All he has to now is to survive the fierce enemies dispatched to destroy him. An epic of magical worldbuilding, The Secret Key of Pythagorum “will prove to be an immediate and enduringly popular addition to . . . the personal reading lists of dedicated fantasy fans” (Midwest Book Review).
