Books with author Sara Holbrook

Teenage love explored from his and her points of view. From the first furtive looks across the classroom to the blossom of new romance and the final flameout, teenage love is loaded with awkwardness, uncertainty, dreams, conflict, and pure bliss. Poets Sara Holbrook and Allan Wolf combine their considerable talents to explore these feelings and struggles by creating the voices of a girl and boy in the throes of affection. As they experience the giddiness of love, the poems' two characters also face obstacles (parents) and distractions (friends) while learning to respect each other's interests and needs. Can this relationship survive? In sonnets, tankas, villanelles, and other poetic forms, Holbrook and Wolf examine the efforts of two teenagers who dare to be more than friends.

Jinny King doesn't know about magic. Jinny King doesn't know about Darkthings. She doesn't know that her life is in danger. She doesn't know that the entire existence of the world rests on her shoulders. Jinny King doesn't know just how far the darkness is willing to go to bring down magic or how it wants to tear apart the veil that separates the world of light from the world of dark; how much it wants to feast on the suffering of humanity and how many macabre and grotesque creatures exist on the other side, waiting, waiting, waiting to be set free. Jinny King is about to be thrust into the middle of a war that has been waging since the beginning of time, since the beginning of light, and the beignning of dark. Jinny King is going to know... She is going to know about her predicament, about her sordid family history, about the awful, ghastly, ghoulish creatures that have come to hunt her down, to kill her and set the darkness free. The Darkthings are coming...
