New Releases by Katherine Grace Bond

This was the summer that would change my life. No more being what everyone expected. No more doing what everyone else wanted. So when Luke came into my life, I decided to keep him a secret. Maybe he as a dead–ringer for notorious Hollywood bad boy Trent Yves. And it was possible that everything he told me was a lie. And yes, I was probably asking for trouble. But all I saw was Luke—sweet, funny, caring—someone who would let me be the real me. But which was the real him?

A young Faerie is given guardianship of a mysterious child brought by sparrows. A lonely boy in a faraway galaxy finds a friend whose memory will sustain him through years of war. A young detective, fighting to clear his brother of murder charges, finds himself and the woman he loves in danger. A girl discovers that out of hardship grows courage. After finding the family of his dreams, an adopted child realizes what he has lost. An imprisoned princess, whose kingdom is in jeopardy, would rather save herself than wait for a prince to save her. A young woman with an annoying Faerie Godfather finds her life even more complicated when Oberon, the Mad Faerie, gives her the "blessing" of a fairytale romance. A newly-initiated ninja must deliver a princess to the enemy shogun. Here are eight tales written by authors aged 13-18. All are excerpted from their full-length novels. These young novelists came together in a novel-writing class taught by Katherine Grace Bond at Sky Valley Education Center, an innovative and award-winning alternative program in the Monroe (Washington) School District.
