HIGHLIGHTS

FALL 2014

+SALT & STORM by Kendall Kulper

u  A sweeping romance set in a late 1800's whaling community, in which a sixteen-year-old descendent of the island witch foresees her own murder. With the help of a tattooed harpoon boy, she must prevent her own death and discover the secrets of her family's magic—not realizing what she'll have to sacrifice in return.

u  "Debut author Kulper infuses her atmospheric novel with richly detailed descriptions of whaling in nineteenth-century New England, and through tenacious Avery's lyrical first-person narrative, she explores poignant themes of destiny, sacrifice, and free will.”--- Booklist
