Far out to sea, the freighter Stjerne, fought the storm bravely. At home in the little Norwegian fishing village, twelve-year-old Arne and his family waited and prayed. It was the Christmas season, and the Stjerne was the Christmas ship this year, bearing Yuletide gifts and other good things for the village. But more important than the gifts, the Stjerne carried her gallant crew, and Arne's brother Gustav, her first mate. How Arne does his part to help bring the ship safely into port makes a thrilling tale. A wonderful read aloud, good all year round. Illustrated by Frank Nicholas.

Quislings... Nazi collaborators Could it really be true that several members of Solveig Strand's own family were among them, and that her own brother, Roald, had served as a Nazi spy? At the close of WWII, 15-year-old Solveig returns to her beloved Norwegian village after a five-year stay in Scotland and she is greeted, not with open arms, but with harsh words and cold looks. Now it is up to Solveig to restore her brother's good name and her family's honor, picking apart the truth about the past from the falsehoods and rumors like a tangled skein of yarn. If she succeeds, her scattered family can finally return-with their heads held high as the patriots she knows in her heart they are. Illustrated by Harold Minton.
