  • The Clay People

    G W Jones, Rosy Stott

    eBook
    On a foggy, damp winter Sunday, a bored teenage boy, Sebastian, digs up some clay from a field and takes it home in a bag. He makes two simple little clay figures, and he is pleased with them. By some apparent miracle these clay people come to life over the following days, and the boy believes that it is his breath that has given them this life. Bud did it?Very soon he realizes that there is a great deal more to it than that, as the clay people already have names of their own, and long memories of times past, and well formed characters of their own which could not have been the result of his breath alone. What appeared to be something a bit "magical" was now becoming much more real, profound and much more confusing and disturbing.Slowly, but surely, Seb and his friend Hannah, are caught up in an inspiring and frightening challenge to discover the truth about the clay people. They little knew when they started what it would lead to..........
  • The Whale People

    Roderick Haig-Brown

    Paperback (Harbour Publishing, March 28, 2003)
    In The Whale People, young Atlin must one day succeed his father Nit-gass, a great whaling chief of the Hotsath people. The boy trains for his role with the mixture of yearning and apprehension experienced by every youth racing toward adulthood - except that in Atlin's case, his whole community is depending on his success.With lean, sure-footed prose, Haig-Brown captures the tangled emotions of adolescence, and in the process conveys a vivid portrait of pre-Columbian life on the West Coast. Never preachy or condescending, The Whale People is richly furnished with the material and spiritual mainstays of its characters: canoes, harpoons, animals and "tumanos," the personal magic a great whaler and leader must possess."Timeless" is a term too freely bandied about, but seldom has a story so deftly married the moment with the millennia. Written 40 years ago - it was named Book of the Year for Children by the Canadian Library Association in 1964 - it could be set 400 years ago, yet there is not one quaint or dated sentence in it.
