When her family decides to move across Canada, Phoebe worries about making new friends, and starting over at a new school. But she knows she can count on her best friend (and best fish) Tango. After the big move, Tango starts acting a little strangely. He isn’t even swimming around his favourite pirate ship! Phoebe thinks he may be sick and doesn’t want to leave him while she attends school. But that isn’t the only reason why she wants to stay home. Phoebe hasn’t told her parents that there are two bullies at school who make her life miserable. She bottles up all of her emotions, and runs away from her problems by escaping to the natural world, where she feels better. Along the way, Phoebe discovers a special place, where she meets talking animals and dancing plants. Where are Phoebe’s adventures taking her? Is it just her active imagination, a fantasy, or has Phoebe discovered a secret world? Phoebe’s journey deals with change, loss, and grief, but at its core is Phoebe’s transformation from a vulnerable little girl to a brave and resilient one.

Jana. Brit. Daniel. Henry. They would never have been friends if they hadn't needed each other. They would never have found each other except for the art which drew them together. They would never have become family without their love for the music, for each other. Brit is the second violinist, a beautiful and quiet orphan; on the viola is Henry, a prodigy who's always had it easy; the cellist is Daniel, the oldest and an angry skeptic who sleeps around; and on first violin is Jana, their flinty, resilient leader. Together, they are the Van Ness Quartet. After the group's youthful, rocky start, they experience devastating failure and wild success, heartbreak and marriage, triumph and loss, betrayal and enduring loyalty. They are always tied to each other - by career, by the intensity of their art, by the secrets they carry, by choosing each other over and over again. Following these four unforgettable characters, Aja Gabel's debut novel gives a riveting look into the high-stakes, cutthroat world of musicians, and of lives made in concert. The story of Brit and Henry and Daniel and Jana, The Ensemble is a heart-skipping portrait of ambition, friendship, and the tenderness of youth.

Now, for the first time, she's doing what she wants to do: marrying Captain Phineas Foulger and sailing far away from Nantucket. As she leaves on her grand adventure, her father gives her two gifts, both of which Phoebe sees little need for. The first is an old sheepskin journal from Great Mary, her highly revered great-grandmother. The other is a "minder" on the whaling ship in the form of cooper Matthew Macy, a man whom she loathes. Soon Phoebe discovers that life at sea is no easier than life on land. Lonely, seasick, and disillusioned, she turns the pages of Great Mary's journal and finds herself drawn into the life of this noble woman. To Phoebe's shock, her great-grandmother has left a secret behind that carries repercussions for everyone aboard the ship, especially her husband the captain and her shadow the cooper. This story within a story catapults Phoebe into seeing her life in an entirely new way--just in time. In this brand-new series, bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher brings her signature twists and turns to bear on a fascinating new faith community: the Quakers of colonial-era Nantucket Island.
