Jodi Shepherd, a feisty teenage orphan raised by her aunt in the English village of Bodbury, spends most of her time helping her
eccentric inventor friend, Denzil Gossip, with his menagerie of beloved animals. When a group of local waifs, the Tatters
Children, speculate that the Widow Pender is keeping a Small in her house, Jodi has to break in to discover the truth. What
follows is a lyrical tale filled with whimsy, danger and intrigue, where a witch or her fetch may approach anyone unawares
and cast spells on them, where dead men talk and Smalls—tiny people—are alive. Originally appearing
as a story-within-a-story in de Lints acclaimed novel The Little Country (written for adults), finally the magical tale
of Jodis adventures, published for the first time on its own, can be enjoyed by young adults as well as mature readers.

Tamson House in downtown Ottawa is a place of hidden power, for the House is a door to other lands where Celtic and
native American magicks mingle and leak into our own. Magic breathes in the walls of the House, mystery sleeps in its
enclosed garden. Leylines rest beneath its foundations, and inside its rooms Weirdin discs are thrown into patterns that
speak of the distant past and the shadowed future to come.
The House takes up a entire city block and yet is even larger than it seems, for rooms appear and disappear and the
twisty overgrown garden paths lead to a vast and primal Wood that no city streets have ever contained. There is something
dark within that Wood, threatening the existence of Tamson House and all who dwell within it. Three green children hang from a
tree; a coyote man waits in the moonless dark, the Autumn Lady carries her heavy gift; shadows are lost; the Westlin
Wind sings; and old spirits wake and walk between worlds.

Life is complicated in the once-quiet beach town of Santa Feliz. Over the past six months many teens have inexplicably
become animal shape-shifters known as Wildlings. The town is rife with fear, and Wildlings have quickly learned to keep
their animal identities hidden or face persecution.
Now that Josh Saunders has a mountain lion living under his skin, his life seems to careen from one crisis to another. His
best friends have just helped him narrowly escape cruel medical experimentation, and now that he's back home Josh wants
at least a few more days of living like a normal teenager. But the FBI is tailing him, a vengeful school bully is out to
hurt and expose him, and a formidable Wildling Elder has secretly arranged to have him killed by the hand of one of his
own Wildling friends.
