|  | Five Little Fiends by Sarah Dyer
Five impetuous little creatures decide to take and keep the things they like best in the world. One grabs the sun, another the sky, the third takes the land, the fourth snatches the moon, and the fifth steals the sea. It is only when they return home that they realize that the sea could not flow without the pull of the moon, and the moon could not glow without the light of the sun and so on. Will these little fiends be moved to return what they have taken? Color illustrations accompany the text. AUTHOR: Sarah Dyer

 | The Eye in the Door by Pat Barker, Steven Crossley
The second volume in Pat Barker's acclaimed World War I trilogy continues the story of the victims of shell shock in World War I trench warfare, and the methods used by psychiatrist William Rivers to cure their trauma at Craiglockhart Hospital. This volume concentrates on the poet Siegfried Sassoon and his conflicting attitudes toward the war in which he fought, and on the bisexual lieutenant, Billy Pryor, who struggles not only with the question of his sexual identity but with society's preoccupation with class, status, and heroism. The consequences of the persecution of homosexuals and pacifists in wartime Britain is vividly depicted. AUTHOR: Pat Barker, Steven Crossley
