POGUE, CAROLYN
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Gwen Peters has come a long way from being a Home Child in Ontario. Now at thirteen, Gwen is learning to
take care of herself. The year is 1898, and Gwen is leaving Brantford on the brand-new railway for Calgary.
There, she will start life over with Mrs. Brown, making friends who have come to Canada's West to start a new
life as well. But as problems arise in town, Gwen gets the feeling that shifty-eyed gentlemen that traveled with
her from Ontario might be causing trouble for her and the new friends she has made. Gwen must use the
survival lessons she learns throughout her journey to help build her world in the way her heroine, Mohawk poet
E. Pauline Johnson, would have, to make her community a place that everyone can call home.

HER PERMANENT RECORD
GOWNLEY, JIMMY
From surviving her parents’ divorce, to withstanding the terror of Joe McCarthy Elementary, to handling
devastating crushes (not-so-)gracefully, Amelia Louise McBride has weathered her share of storms. But with her
new spot on the cheerleading squad, Aunt Tanner’s hordes of adoring fans, and Reggie’s successful mission to
mold young superheroes into productive—and cool—members of society, Amelia’s sailing seems remarkably
smooth. Then Tanner disappears, humiliated by an ex-boyfriend’s tell-all book, sending Amelia into full panic
mode. And when she boards a bus on an epic journey to find Tanner—with frenemy Rhonda in tow, and a little
help from a certain boy she never thought she’d see again—it quickly becomes clear that if Amelia has learned
anything in her eleven years, it’s that life is never through with surprises.

HORTEN'S INCREDIBLE ILLUSIONS
EVANS, LISSA
This magical follow-up to Horten's Miraculous Mechanisms continues Stuart's amazing adventures--with more
enchantment, more surprises, and more thrills. When we last left 10-year-old Stuart, he had just recovered his
great-uncle Tony's long-lost magic workshop. Now all the priceless tricks are on display in the Beeton Museum-and
Stuart is junior curator of the exhibit! But another mystery awaits Stuart: Where did the great magician hide
his will? Only by entering the magic world of the workshop can he find the answer. But as the mechanisms whisk
him off on increasingly incredible adventures, the puzzles become harder and harder to solve…and the stakes
higher. With even more page-turning action, this second book in the exciting middle-grade series does a magic
trick of its own: it's even better than the first!
