Phantoms in the Snow

Independent-minded Sam does not like the fact that she has to spend a month of her summer vacation at her grandparents’ place. Twelve-year-old Sam adores her grandmother, but Grandma will be at work most of the time during Sam’s visit, leaving Sam with the Colonel, her prickly grandfather. Sam’s relationship with him is shaky at best, and now that the Colonel has had to retire from his career as a military pilot, he is harder than ever to get along with. Sam soon finds that her grandfather’s behavior is even stranger than she expected. He keeps disappearing for long stretches of time and won’t let Sam go into the old barn. Sam is eager to solve the mystery, but when she discovers that the Colonel is building an airplane, they both have a decision to make. Will Sam let the cat out of the bag and ruin her grandfather’s plan? Or will he relent and let Sam help him finish the plane? In this story filled with interesting facts and aeronautical information, author Kathleen Benner Duble skillfully mines the depth and complexity of human relationships and what happens when dreams, once deferred, may finally be realized.

In 1789, with the starving French people on the brink of revolution, orphaned Celie Rosseau, an amazing artist and a very clever thief, runs wild with her protector, Algernon, trying to join the idealistic freedom fighters of Paris. But when she is caught stealing from none other than the king's brother and the lady from the waxworks, Celie must use her drawing talent to buy her own freedom or die for her crimes. Forced to work for Madame Tussaud inside the opulent walls that surround Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, Celie is shocked to find that the very people she imagined to be monsters actually treat her with kindness. But the thunder of revolution still rolls outside the gates, and Celie is torn between the cause of the poor and the safety of the rich. When the moment of truth arrives, will she turn on Madame Tussaud or betray the boy she loves? From the hidden garrets of the starving poor to the jeweled halls of Versailles, Madame Tussaud's Apprentice is a sweeping story of danger, intrigue, and young love, set against one of the most dramatic moments in history.
