With her signature warmth and lyricism, Newbery winner Cynthia Rylant has crafted a new version of the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale about a tin soldier who falls in love with a ballerina. As in the original story, the tin soldier’s love for the beautiful ballerina is thwarted by a goblin. The tin soldier is separated from the other toys and washed down a sewer, where he encounters a rat and gets swallowed by a fish, but somehow, against all odds, he manages to end up back home only to be cast into the nursery fire. Rylant adds her own twist to the end of the tale, however, for in this version, the tin soldier and the ballerina are melded to each other, rather than melted, in the heat of the fire, so they’ll never be parted again. Rylant’s expert storytelling paired with Corace’s stunning illustrations create a beautiful, unforgettable tale of everlasting love.

This illustrated biography of the inventor and captain of the Civil War ironclad USS Monitor depicts Swedish immigrant John Ericsson as a visionary inventor. The only thing keeping him from huge successes with a fire engine, a fast railway engine, and a screw propeller, the book tells us, was the shortsightedness of the men who couldn't see the value of them. Years before the Civil War, Ericsson had invented an iron-covered ship with a gun turret, but no one was interested-until another ironclad builder saw his design and recommended it over his own to a navy committee. For readers 6 to 10, with watercolor cartoons.
