|  | The Fury by John Farris
Gillian Bellaver, daughter of one of the wealthiest families in New York, has long been plagued by strange visions of a boy, but has always managed to keep them to herself despite their immense physical toll. When puberty hits, though, the visions begin to affect the health of those around her, making her a prime target for a sinister agency developing psychic weapons. Meanwhile, Peter Sandza, a covert government assassin, has been searching for his son who, after exhibiting similar psychic abilities, was kidnapped by the same agency. As the paths of these two people slowly converge, the fate of them all is wrapped up in the volatile temper of a teenage boy. AUTHOR: John Farris

 | The Algonquian Year by Michael McCurdy
As the moon waxes and wanes, her cycles set a pattern of life for those who live beneath her silver glow. For the Northern Algonquians in precolonial America, these rhythms served to measure out the year. January's Hard Times Moon means biting winds and long nights, and February's moon brings the big snow. Now animals and people alike search for food; the land is locked in a deep, icy cold. But by the April and May moons, one can fish at night by torchlight and leave the wigwam door open to the rising sun in the east. Soon the summer moons of planting and ripening will guide the daily work of the tribe. Then come the fertile autumn moons of harvesting to ready the people for yet another hard winter.
