Story summaries

• Arnie, the Darling Starling
• By Margarete Sigl Corbo & Diane Marie Barras
• At first he was just an ordinary wild baby bird: a scrawny hatchling that Margarete Corbo found in a daisy patch on a hot May morning. But there was something insistent in his bright little eyes. When she put him back in his nest, he kept falling (or jumping) out again. He wouldn't eat. He didn't chirp or peep. He was helpless. Margarete, a busy grandmother with three cats, often chided herself for losing her heart so easily to animals. Yet how could she abandon this fragile creature that nestled so contentedly in the palm of her hand? "I'll just toughen him up, then out he goes, " she vowed. She really meant it too. But that bird soon became her darling Arnie: the winsome starling who learned to say "I love you," and who could sing and talk and make friends with uncanny charm--as he is sure to charm readers of this delightful and irresistible true story.


• In Love and War
• By Jim and Sybil Stockdale
• Jim and Sybil Stockdale were a devoted couple: devoted to one another and to the traditional values of God, country, and family. Over the years, while Jim pursued his career as a navy pilot, the two of them had built an unshakable bond of love and trust. They brought four sons into the world. And by 1965 Jim's abilities as a flier had carried him to the very top of seagoing combat aviation. Then, in September 1965, Jim was shot down over North Vietnam and taken prisoner. What followed were years of torment--and of heroism. Despite torture and isolation, Jim was soon leading his fellow POW's in a campaign of resistance against their captors. Back home, Sybil was emerging as the leader of other POW families in a crusade to win better treatment for their imprisoned loved ones--a crusade that may well have saved Jim's life. "Absolutely smashing!... An enchanting love story and a wonderful reassurance that there's a right and a wrong in the world and that there are men and women willing to face both with superb courage."--Ernest K. Gann, Author of The High and the Mighty


• Polsinney Harbour
• By Mary E. Pearce
• The arrival of a mysterious young woman sets tongues a-wagging in the Cornish fishing village of Polsinney. Nineteen-year-old Maggie Care has traveled far, with only a small bundle on her shoulder and a bittersweet secret in her heart. Her past a painful memory, her future uncertain, Maggie soon finds her destiny entwined with the Tallack family: with young, handsome Brice, his quick-tempered mother, Rachel; and with Gus Tallack, an embittered old fisherman whose astonishing proposition will change Maggie's life forever. A gentle, moving tale of a woman, the men who love her, and the sea that casts its powerful spell over them all.


• Find a Safe Place
• By Alex Lazzarino & E. Kent Hayes
• They came from different backgrounds: Matt, the cowboy's son from Wyoming; Tony, the streetwise ten-year-old from the ghetto; and Ralph, the gentle mute. Although innocent of serious wrongdoing; the three boys share the same fate--they have been committed to a state reformatory. Why? Because no one wants them, and there is nowhere else for them to go. But Matt, Tony and Ralph are luckier than most. In a world of hard-core delinquents, they meet a few caring people--a courageous superintendent, a loving teacher, a loyal friend. Still, every day behind bars is a day forever stolen from their lives. Will they ever find a safe place? A powerful true story that will make readers cry and cheer and renew their faith in the indomitable spirit of youth.
