       Praise for Stand on the Sky:
       “The prose crackles with energy. . . I’d be amazed if any kid nine and up could resist reading it right
         through to the end without stopping the way I did.” — Michele Landsberg, CBC Children’s Book Panel
       “Bow’s poetic prose heightens the story and deepens it, her rich turns of phrase tucking their own
         sharp wisdom into the mix.” — The Toronto Star
       “…a story of strength, courage, and resilience that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt
         abandoned, alone, or doubted themselves and their place in the world.” — Quill & Quire

       A note from Erin Bow:
       My time in Mongolia is all over these pages: the goats and the milking, the water pails, the mountains,
       the smell of the dung fire, the summer weather, the Choco-Pies, the way the light seeps in around the
                                                                                                                              Available now!
       doorframe of the ger at dawn. I even incorporated the bit from my diary where we had all the gers
       loaded into a truck, which was then intercepted by horsemen from a rival family. “It was like a scene
       from a movie,” I wrote. “Specifically, it was like the scene from a movie where people are killed by
       Kazakh horsemen.”
       So this is a Mongolian story. But I hope it is also a universal story: about family, belonging, adventure,
       courage, and love.
       Ultimately this is my story. I was that child who was loved but also cut adrift because I was the one not
       in crisis. I was that child spending endless hours with books of animal friendship and long days exploring
       the woods behind my house.                                                                                              978-1-4431-7504-3
                                                                                                                                   $12.99 PB
       Because there is really a rising generation of Kazakh girls taking up the ancient art of eagle hunting, I’m
       often asked if this is one of their stories. It’s not. But it’s all true. And I made it all up. And that’s fiction.

                Excerpt from Zara Hossain is Here:
                “I found a note in my locker today,” I say as quietly as possible. Then I brace myself.
                “A note? What kind of note?” Ammi says, her voice a little high, the way it gets when
                she knows nothing good is coming.
                “I was going to tell you,” I reply weakly. “Someone left a nasty note, but I took it to
                the principal immediately.”
                Abbu pins me with a stern glance. “And did Mr. Trevino find out who it was?”
                                                                                                            Available now!
                “No, but he’s going to talk to the students.”
                “Ye principal se kuch nahi hoga.” Ammi has reverted to Urdu which is never a good
                sign. She only does this when she is very worked up. Luckily Nick and his family have
                witnessed this before and are not surprised. Nick’s abuela breaks out in Spanish all the
                time. I love it especially if it involves Nick getting in trouble.
                “Nilufer, it’s okay. We’ll get to the bottom of this,” Abbu says calmingly. “But what
                did the note say, Zara?”
                “Nothing, just some stupid stuff,” I say.                                                   978-1-338-58215-4
