It's the summer of 1916, and everything is changing for fifteen-year-old Jess Goldie as the Great War rages in Europe. Jess joins her older sister in a suffrage campaign, discovering an exciting cause to fight for. Based on actual historic events, the Goldie sisters knock on doors in Vancouver's Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, urging male voters to support a referendum on the women's franchise at the September provincial election. Jess's best friend Lily Gee challenges racial prejudices within the suffrage movement, while Davie Bolton, the neighbourhood bully, tries to undermine the efforts of the cause. Will Miller, the boy Jess likes, argues against women in politics. Labour rights and the women's vote are connected as Jess will learn when she starts part-time work at a steam laundry to help her family. By election day, September 14, the suffrage campaign--and the Great War-- will leave their mark, forever changing Jess and everyone around her."--Provided by publisher.

Leaf grew up wandering the forests of the Turtle, exploring the Stonefolk's cursed ruins, and listening to her grandmother's stories. As a child, Koomis was imprisoned with other children of the clans in the stone buildings that still scar the forest floor. These ruins are forbidden, but Leaf is compelled to return to them, until one day she finds a mysterious object left behind by the vanished invaders. By bringing it back to the Elderglade, Leaf risks banishment. It is only Ash, a Watcher sworn to protect the clans' people, who will help her. Together, Leaf and Ash set out on a dangerous journey into the Deepwood, searching for answers. Far away, across the Broken Waters, Reed dreams of escape from the Flotilla--a makeshift land of ships floating in the middle of the sea. An orphan, he has survived as a lonely ship rat, scuttling through the old hulls, stealing and bartering for each meal. When his chance comes to lie his way onto a departing ship, he doesn't hesitate, tying his fate to the mysterious crew--including Finch, a girl who seems to see right through his deceit. Together, they set out on a course that will lead them to the Great Turtle."--
