A Little Grace
Coming October 6, 2026!
An unexpected reunion, the search for an elixir, a pirate’s risky bargain, untamed wild horses, shadows of witches and sea monsters…what else must Dory overcome to save her dying Aunt Orlie? It’s 1696 and Dory and her aunt and uncle have relocated from Salem in the Massachusetts Bay colony to the eastern shore of the Virginia colony. Since the journey, her Aunt Orlie has suffered from a painful stomach ailment. When Calum, an old friend from Scotland, arrives with Mercy, a new friend of his, they join Dory on a dangerous and uncertain quest to find a cure. Can the trio bring together their individual gifts to survive the trek through the Chesapeake region and return with the one thing that may save Aunt Orlie?
The Falls
It wasn’t her choice to go. But from the moment the bush plane splashed down on the Alaskan lake, there was no turning back for 11-year-old Monty. Her widowed father’s job brought them to the edge of wilderness. Her journey that summer of 1953 would take her through rugged terrain, dangerous wildlife and unlikely friendships to the wonder and mystery beyond the Falls.
A Little Noble
Stranded in the wilds of 1694 Scotland, 13-year-old Mercy must rely on Calum, a duty-bound Highland lad, and her talent with plants to fulfill her life’s mission of delivering a cryptic message to a Scottish nobleman and learn about the family she never knew. Their journey takes Mercy places she had never imagined and Calum back to the one place he vowed never to return.
A Little Wicked
After her Scottish village is attacked, 12-year-old Dory must flee her home without her family. Once the granddaughter of the chief, now branded a fugitive, Dory begins a dangerous journey. She must trek through the Scottish wilderness and dress in disguise to cross the Atlantic in order to reach a town called Salem in the unfamiliar Massachusetts Bay Colony. There she must find distant family and learn to survive a crisis that is quite different from the one in Scotland but no less fatal. The year is 1692 and Dory is plunged into mayhem on both sides of the ocean.
