Land of Another Sun

One hot August afternoon, Geremy and his neighbor but not-quite-friend, April, are sitting in the vacant lot, feeling bored. All the other children have already gone to play the usual games. Then April announces that she's going to blow the biggest bubble in the world. Geremy is certain she can't do it, so he's amazed to see the green bubble grow and grow. Overwhelmed with jealousy, he lifts his cat, Fluff, toward the monstrous bubble, assuming her sharp claws will pop it. But he's in for a big surprise! Readers of all ages will enjoy traveling with these next-door-type characters on their out-of-this-world adventures. Land of Another Sun is a story full of surprises and excitement and the meaning of friendship.Illustrations: Cover plus black and white, pen-and-ink drawings by the author, one at the beginning of each chapter.

In this engaging sequel to Sean's War, the story of Sean's life during the frontier days in northwestern Illinois continues. Everything has changed now that Sigrid is gone. Sean struggles to help his father keep food on the table while he knows they both miss more than Sigrid's cooking. Part of Sean's emptiness is filled by his developing friendship with a spunky girl, Becky Amos. Together they befriend a new student at their one-room schoolhouse, a Potawatomi Indian boy, Thunder Cloud. When Sean receives two letters, one from Sigrid, one from her doctor friend, he learns that his beloved stepmother and his little brother are in grave danger. Sean and his friends set out on a daunting quest to find his mother and bring his family -- and his life -- back together.
