Their gray tunics turned black in the downpour, their helmets shone like beetle wings and the sparks that jumped from their fingers as they herded their recruits fizzed and spat like sewer gas. Salt is an utterly compelling fantasy adventure, the work of a master storyteller at the peak of his powers. When his father Tarl is captured and enslaved to work in Deep Salt, Hari vows to rescue him. This is a forbidding task: no one returns from Deep Salt. But Hari was born and raised in Blood Burrow. He's tough and smart--and he has a secret gift: he can communicate with animals. The beautiful Pearl, born into the privileged world of the ruling class known as Company, has learned forbidden things from her mysteriously gifted maid Tealeaf. Now her father has promised her in marriage to the powerful and ambitious Ottmar. But Pearl will never submit to a subordinate life, so she and Tealeaf must flee. When their paths cross, Hari and Pearl realize that together they must discover the secrets of Deep Salt. Their long journey through the badlands becomes far more than a quest to save Tarl--their world is on the brink of unspeakable terror. Maurice Gee is one of New Zealand's finest writers, with more than forty books for adults and young adults and a number of prestigious awards to his credit. Salt is the first volume of The Salt Trilogy.

Oscar Martin was fourteen when he mysteriously disappeared from his Iowa farmhouse home in June 1914. His sister claimed Oscar had rowed out to sea - but how was that possible? There is no ocean in Iowa. When, nearly a century later, Lucy Martin and her parents move from their city apartment to that same farmhouse in Iowa, it is not long before Lucy discovers the strange and dangerous BOOK OF STORY BEGININGS. And it's not long before Oscar reappears in a bizarre turn of events that sends the two distant relatives on a perilous journey to save Lucy's father.   This remarkable debut fantasy novel is a thrilling page turner as well as a tribute to the writer's craft.  Editorial Reviews  From School Library Journal Grade 4-7-When Lucy Martin moves to the house in Iowa that her father inherited from his Aunt Lavonne, she hopes to solve the mystery of Lavonne's brother's disappearance in 1914, when he was 14. He supposedly rowed off in a boat on a magical ocean that lapped at the garden gate. When Lucy finds the Book of Story Beginnings and writes in it about a girl whose father was a magician, her father becomes a magician who has invented a transforming potion. He turns into a crow and flies away from the cat, who then becomes Oscar, the long-lost boy. Lucy and Oscar then have to find a way over the magical ocean to bring back Lucy's father, who has flown to the land invented by Oscar when he wrote his story beginnings in the magical book. The characters are well rounded and interesting, and Oscar's plight when he is transformed back into a boy and discovers that his entire family is dead is sympathetically and realistically portrayed. While sections of the story at the beginning and end are exciting and even thrilling, the middle section moves slowly and the adventure drags in places. Still, this is an interesting investigation into the power of writing and story, along with a warm and believable look at the relationship of two young people from different eras who become family to one another.-Sue Giffard, Ethical Culture Fieldston School, New York City  Copyright   Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.  From Booklist Gr. 4-6. When 12-year-old Lucy and her parents move to the farmhouse where her father's family has lived for generations, she hopes to solve the mystery of her great-uncle Oscar's disappearance in 1914, when he was 14. Soon she discovers Oscar's notebook, the mysterious Book of Story Beginnings, and even Oscar himself, who has returned from another world and, still a teenager, finds his parents gone and his community incomprehensibly different from when he left. Realizing that by beginning a new story in the enchanted book she has placed her father in deadly peril, Lucy enlists Oscar's help to take her into that otherworld where their stories have come to life not in dreams but as cold, hard reality. Accented by a fine description of an ocean magically appearing in the Iowa countryside, Kladstrup's first novel offers mystery, adventure, and fantasy, as well as reflections on family dynamics, time travel, and the structure of stories. If that sounds like a plateful, it is, but many readers will find something here to their liking. Carolyn Phelan Copyright   American Library Association. All rights reserved  Review JUNE 1914   He was up late reading TREASURE ISLAND Island for the hundredth time when the story idea came to him. Like all of his ideas, it was only the beginning of a story. But a beginning was better than nothing at all, so he climbed out of bed-quietly, because the rest of his family was asleep and he didn't want to wake them.   TREASURE ISLAND was a book he had read so often that he hardly needed to look at the well-worn copy that Pa and Ma had given him for Christmas two years before. He needed only to open it and dream of adventure. That was how the story beginning had come to him, like a dream-the words falling into place like notes of music from Ma's fiddle. He held them in his mind carefully, not wanting to forget them before he had time to write them down.   He sat at his old worn desk-there were ink stains all over it-and drew out a secret book from the bottom of a drawer filled with papers. It wasn't the five-cent composition book in which he kept his journal. That was where he wrote down his thoughts and observations on everything that mattered and didn't matter. The secret book was one he had found in the attic among Ma's things-secret things maybe, for the trunk had been locked, and perhaps he oughtn't to have used the key he'd found in Ma's room.  As he had done many times since finding the book, he looked at the words on its title page: THE BOOK OF STORY BEGINNINGS. There was a verse beneath the title. It made him shiver a bit because it was so wonderful. Almost like a story beginning itself:   Beware, you writers who write within;  Be mindful of stories that you begin;  For every story that has a beginning  May have a middle and an end.

Jaimin, the prince of Arra, seems to be the enemy's first target, and he must rely on his brilliant best friend, Nastasha, and his unexpected new love, the farm girl Elaina, to help him survive the plots of those vying for power.   Entangled in a web of romance, the trio must bury their turbulent emotions if they are to save their kingdom from the devious threats it faces--from afar and from within.  Together, the three young heroes unlock the secrets of the past, discover clues left by their forebears, and learn the roles they must fulfill to save their people.  R. J. Francis's exciting tale explores the intricacies of love, friendship, and the will of the divine spirit. The heroes learn that by firmly trusting in themselves, each other, and the divine spirit, they can overcome all obstacles and achieve the impossible.  Editorial Reviews  From the Inside Flap Secrets of the past haunt those with royal blood. Now, with Arra at the brink of war, three young heroes must unravel those secrets to save their present.  From the Back Cover The uneasy peace between Arra and Destauria is over. Destauria has made the first move.  Jaimin,the prince of Arra, is aided by Elaina as he flees the assault. Although she appears to be a simple farm girl, Elaina is beautiful and mysterious, and she occupies his every thought.  Elaina also can't stop thinking about Jaimin, the handsome young man who fled too soon. Despite not knowing his identity, she finds herself drawn to him.  Nastasha, Jaimin's best friend, is hopelessly in love with the young prince. But he is smitten with the farm girl, and Nastasha cares too much about him to interfere.  When the threat of invasion becomes imminent, however, these three heroes learn there are far more serious things to worry about than the affairs of the heart.  Can the trio work together to unravel the mysteries of the past in time to save their present kingdom?  About the Author  R. J. Francis could rightfully call quaint New England, the beaches of Southern California, the misty Pacific Northwest, or magical New Zealand home.
