Savage, Deborah

YA
An eerie mysticism runs through this ambitious, sometimes confounding novel about the summer that Wim, a grieving Cape Cod teenager, learns the dark secret of her ancestors. A large cast of characters (including Wim's family, two New Zealanders of Maori ancestry, an ailing great-aunt, and a nineteenth-century sailor) makes for a crowded plot, but the book's intriguing theme (truth transcends time and place) captivates.

YA
Living for a year with her sculptor father in rural Pennsylvania, Taylor tries to hone her journalist's detached perspective. But when she rescues an injured hawk and meets the scientist who operates the nearby raptor rehabilitation center, she starts to lose her objectivity and finds herself becoming involved. Savage deftly combines a nature tale with a coming-of-age story.
