Gil Gibbs is a middle-school hockey player of promising talent. In his hometown of Port Royal, Maine, Gil's teammates have always been his best friends, and as a youth league player, his father has always been his coach. He loves his town and the people in it, but when Gil has an opportunity to play for the elite Price School in New Hampshire, he finds that he must change some aspects of his game in order to keep his spot; and more importantly, he faces ethical dilemmas that test the limitations of his understanding of right and wrong. Gil's adaptation to the New England prep school scene is a faltering one, but ultimately he begins to find his niche. Then, with a successful season in the making, and a budding friendship with Rocky, the team's captain, Gil catches his mysterious and charismatic new buddy in the act of academic cheating, in which he is also implicated. Although Gil has little control over the events that follow this disaster, he learns that he must look inward to seek the values that matter most to him and can carry him through a critical time in his young life. The Pride of the Panthers is the story of a boy's journey to an unknown place, where his potential friends and rivals are equally veiled in shadow, but the lure of the hockey arena, glowing like a great jewel, is irresistible for a young athlete, for at this level, the action on the ice, described here in vivid detail, is thrilling. In this short novel for young readers, Gil Gibbs wrestles with questions that are complicated by his competitiveness and ambition: Should he sacrifice his own morals, to any degree, in order to gain an edge in the hockey hotbed which is the Price School for Boys? How can he sustain his loyalty to his working-class family and his childhood friends in the face of his high-powered new peer group? And finally, where should he draw the line between his love for a game and his faithfulness to the clear-cut morals that have been ingrained in him by the place he loves the most? Gil must work hard - perhaps even harder than he has ever had to work in any hockey practice - to find the answers.

Kate Cumiskey's Yonder is a book of poems which links the lovely island at New Smyrna Beach with Cumiskey's experiences, there. The poems move through space and time taking the reader gently by the hand: one meets a rocket scientist and gazes with him at the wonders of the Universe, humbled at the grace of a benevolent Creator; a boy who uses sweltering summer days to chart the paths of American birds; a mad young girl who wishes only for simple geometry; a Southern gentleman who takes a taxi from Atlanta to Florida. The characters are rich, specific, sharp, fallible. These poems reach the reader by accessing elements we all share-fear, love, failure, triumph. The poet puts her community on the page. There are poems to her mentors, her family, poets she studied with. Found poems, imagined perspectives from the modern to the ancient: one poem in three parts explores, first person, the hearts of Biblical matriarch Naomi and each of her daughters-in-law, another enters the mind of a woman with Alzheimer's forgotten, in wheel chair, at a nursing home. Cumiskey also deals, baldly and from her singular perspective, with issues such as spousal abuse and sexism in modern society. While many poems move back through time to a childhood closely connected to the littoral zone in which the poet grew up, the lyric itself is informed by her early training-both eye and ear-in the traditions of her parents' deep Southern roots. Cumiskey learned to read from the King James Bible and the Broadman Hymnal, and the melody of the poems is steeped in that tradition. The ghosts of grandparents she never knew give the book its name; her father behaved as if they were living, close, and just out of sight for most of his life; he lost them before his eighth birthday. These poems sing with nostalgia, longing, and a deep appreciation for the richness and fallibility of the human heart.
