In this last installment of Jane Yolen's trio of books about ordinary objects with extraordinary uses, the humble stick is lauded as "a sword to tame monsters of dread" and "an oar for a rowboat in puddle or pond," among other imaginative functions. As with most things, though, it fulfills its truest purpose when combined with others: what can be made with a stick, a box, and a string? "Music that goes with … everything!"

A simmering tale of magic, adventure, and the extraordinary bond between a brother and sister who'd journey to the ends of the Earth to save each other. From the acclaimed author of Lotería comes a heartfelt story rooted in Mexican magical realism. Ten-year-old Lola has always been touched by magic. In her Mexico City home, built around a towering tree, she is accustomed to enchanted blooms that change with the seasons, a sandbox that spits out mysterious treasures, and mischievous chaneques that scuttle about unseen by all but her. Magic has always been a part of her life, but now she must embrace the extraordinary as never before. Ever since The Thing That Happened, Lola's brother Alex has been sick. As his condition worsens, something begins eating away at the tree, causing its leaves and blossoms to crumble like ash. The two are related, Lola is sure of it, but how? Seeking a cure, she visits a grocery store oracle who bids her to follow the chaneques down one of their secret passages... into a hidden world. Here in Floresta, a land of myths and monsters and marvels untold, lies the key to healing her brother. But the kingdom's young queen stands in the way. Lola must use her wits and face her deepest fears if there's any hope of saving Alex in time.

“The writing is top-notch, and the action builds at just the right pace . . . [Amateur sleuth] Lola Wicks is going to be around for a long, long time.” —Kirkus Reviews For a foreign correspondent used to the high stakes of war zones in Afghanistan, Lola Wicks is getting restless working the local news beat in the small town of Magpie, Montana. So when Judith Calf Looking, a Blackfeet woman who has been missing for months, is found frozen in a snowbank, Lola’s journalist instincts go on alert. The sheriff, otherwise known as the romantic reason Lola is still in Magpie, believes Judith froze while hitchhiking back to the reservation. But when Lola learns that Judith had been working as a stripper in a small North Dakota oil town, and that several Blackfeet women have gone missing over the past year, she sets out in search of answers. What she finds is a world full of tough men and corrupt cops, where women are treated poorly and no one cares. For the first time in a long time, Lola may be in over her head. Not that a little danger has ever stopped her. . . . Praise for the Lola Wick mysteries “A gutsy series.” —The New York Times “Outstanding . . . Believable action complements razor-sharp observations of people and scenery.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review on Montana “A gut-wrenching mystery/thriller that explores prejudice and the incredible stress on soldiers in a seemingly unending war with no clear goals.” —Kirkus Reviews on Disgraced “Gwen Florio weaves a compelling tapestry that combines family saga, social consciousness and human frailty.” —Craig Johnson, New York Times–bestselling author on Disgraced
