I just started reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and I have heard many good things about it. I just saw this quote in it that captures m...y love of reading so well... That’s what I love about reading: one tiny thing will interest you in a book, and that tiny thing will lead you onto another book, and another bit there will lead you onto another book. It’s geometrically progressive- all with no end in sight, and for no other reason than sheer enjoyment. I am so thankful for books and the joy I get from reading. Thank you to your wonderful store for the great work is does. See more

Sinking Deeper by Steve Vernon is a laugh-out-loud, delightful middle-grade story set in a small town, on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. We have copies in-store. The tiny fishing community of Deeper Harbour is in deep trouble-and so is fourteen-year-old Roland MacTavish. Roland's mom wants to move with him to Ottawa, away from his father, his weird friend Dulsie, and his even weirder grandfather, Angus. So Roland does what any sane teenager would do: he invents a sea monster.... Unfortunately, the scheme quickly spins out of Roland's control, and he has to go to greater and greater lengths to keep up the illusion. And then Roland must deal with a situation far more terrifying than any sea monster. As moving as it is irresistibly funny, Steve Vernon's portrait of Roland and Deeper Harbour is perfect for anyone who's ever been stuck badly enough to do something awesomely, brilliantly, heroically stupid. This book is on the shortlist for the 2013 Hackmatack Award as well as the 2013 Silver Birch Award.

An interview with Local Author David Wimsett. We have Dragons Unremembered: Volume I and Half Awakened Dreams Volume II of his Carandir Saga in-store.

Now in stock: Natalie Corbett Sampson's No Girls Allowed- Inspired by the True Story of a Girls Who Fought For her Right To Play. It’s 1977, and 10-year-old Tina couldn’t be happier about her life. Not because she just moved to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, but because she’s finally old enough to make her dream come true: she can play on a real hockey team. But when she tries to join the league, she learns that girls aren’t allowed to play on the boys’ teamand there’s no team for g...irls. Despite jeers from classmates and cruelty from some of the town’s adults, Tina is determined to play. She wants it more than anything. With the help of her family, Tina takes her fight to the Human Rights Commission. She’s allowed to play on a team while her case goes through court, but though she’s the best skater on the ice, even some of her teammates think she shouldn’t be there. From facing down angry coaches to testifying on the stand, Tina does everything for one big goal: to play real hockey. Based on an inspiring true story, No Girls Allowed is a journey of passion, determination, and sheer love of the game.
