Emilie Day believes in playing it safe: she’s homeschooled, her best friend is her seizure dog, and she’s probably the only girl on the Outer Banks of North Carolina who can’t swim. Then Emilie’s mom enrolls her in public school, and Emilie goes from studying at home in her pj’s to halls full of strangers. To make matters worse, Emilie is paired with starting point guard Chatham York for a major research project on Emily Dickinson. She should be ecstatic when Chatham shows interest, but she has a problem. She hasn’t told anyone about her epilepsy. Emilie lives in fear her recently adjusted meds will fail and she’ll seize at school. Eventually, the worst happens, and she must decide whether to withdraw to safety or follow a dead poet’s advice and “dwell in possibility.” From Golden Heart award-winning author McCall Hoyle comes The Thing with Feathers, a story of overcoming fears, forging new friendships, and finding a first love, perfect for fans of Jennifer Niven, Robyn Schneider, and Sharon M. Draper.

"The Complete Country Housewife is an unabridged reproduction of an eighteenth century English guide to country living. It nevertheless seems a timely book, partly because of current interest in our past, but mostly for the wealth of information on the ways of rural living. It has many elements of a cookbook- but with a difference! The numerous wine and beer recipes for instance, or the instructions for attracting song birds will be welcomed equally by the urbanite and by the country dweller. We have made the book as attractive as possible by recreating the appearance and feeling of the 1770 original. The old Caslon type was reproduced directly from the first edition, the laid paper is similar to that of the eighteenth century, and the cover is sewn following the practice of the period. The size is, of course, the same." --Dust jacket.
