The Meaning of Maggie by Megan Jean Sovern  (Gr 3-7) “Readers will appreciate Maggie’s humor and rejoice in her growth. This is a remarkable story of a working-class family pulling together in the face of a serious illness.”—School Library Journal, starred review Maggie Mayfield will be President of the United States of America one day. That’s not even a question. What is a question is why her cool-dude dad is in a wheelchair, why he had to quit his job, and what she can do to fix him. Because for Maggie, solutions are always somewhere to be found, just like the last elusive piece in a jigsaw puzzle. But she’s about to find out the truth is big and complicated—even for an A+ student .

Lady Aileana has come to accept and even relish her strange double life. But even she is taken by surprise when she learns that she is a Falconer, the last in a line of female warriors born with a gift for hunting and killing faeries, and the sole hope of containing a powerful faerie population underground before it can resurface and destroy her world.
