Sworn Enemies

Aaron and Zev have been protected from serving in the czar's army for very different reasons -- Aaron's father pays to keep his scholarly son free and Zev works as a khapper, kidnapping other poor, young Jewish boys to fulfill the czar's arm quotas. Zev's jealousy of Aaron turns to hate when he discovers that Miriam, the girl he loves, will be Aaron's future wife. Zev decides to rid himself of Aaron forever by turning him over to the czar's army, where few survive the forced labor. In this powerful novel set in the reign of Nicholas I in Russia, Carol Matas explores the complex issues of betrayal, faith and forgiveness. Winner of The Sydney Taylor Award, New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age, Canadian Library Association Notable book, Notable Children's Trade Book in the field of Social Studies by NCSS, U.S.

"Changing the world was impossible. Creating another one was worse. And escape was out. She was trapped." A collaboration between acclaimed writers Carol Matas and Perry Nodelman, this roller coaster of an adventure is filled with twists and turns, excitement and fun. It is an extraordinary creative fantasy about empowerment that compels readers not to take everything at face value. “A spellbinding fantasy...proof positive that two heads are better than one.” —SLJ Best Books of the Year “Strong...a solid fantasy about thinking for oneself, thinking other people’s thoughts, and the power of the imagination.” —Kirkus Reviews “Original, unpredictable...a kaleidoscope of character, cultures, and events that offers both entertainment and enrichment.” —School Library Journal, starred review

A Meeting Of Minds: The Minds Series, Book Four

The headstrong Princess Lenora craves an adventure, and defeating the giant who has appeared up north would be a great one. The trouble is, no one will let her help. They want her to stay behind and plan her wedding to Prince Coren of Andilla, but Lenora has absolutely no use for color schemes or pew ribbons. Using the power to create whatever she imagines - an ability that all Gepethians have, but have agreed not to use - Lenora imagines a duplicate of herself (a duplicate who cares about pew ribbons) to stay at home, while she sets off on her mission. Quickly, Lenora realizes that the giant is just a symptom of a larger problem, and as she is joined by Coren and both of their duplicates, her adventure spirals out of control.
