Is the old woman living across the street a witch, a murderess, or just an eccentric neighbor obsessed with flowers? Although Marigold gets the opportunity to discover the truth when she ends up as the neighbor's gardening assistant, she remains consumed with keeping her own secrets, such as the one about her mother's mental illness. This middle grade novel reinforces the idea that sometimes friendships and understanding bloom in unexpected ways and places."REVIEW: "Marigold doesn't want to talk about her mother's mental illness. And why would she? The adults in her life and even some of her friends avoid the topic. This novel reveals the all-too-familiar convoluted path young people often must take in a society that would rather hide the realities of mental illness than discuss them openly. Fortunately for Marigold, understanding and support blossom when the weeds hiding the truth are yanked away." ---Journalist Sue McMillin, "The Denver Post"ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Judith Rypma is the author of the young adult novel, "The Amber Beads" (historical time travel set in 1917 Russia released by Black Opal Books) and "Rocks in My Head: Poetry for Young People About Rocks, Minerals, and Crystals."

Sid Gordon, An American Baseball Story, is the compelling history of the son of Jewish immigrants, and his efforts to make it to the highest levels of professional baseball. Gordon's story is not unlike the stories of so many American families; Jewish, Irish, Italian, and so many others, caught up in the most turbulent period in American history. He grew up on the streets of Brooklyn during the Great Depression, and had to fight off and withstand Anti-Semitism as he struggled to earn himself a place in professional baseball. This was truly the greatest era of the game, and Gordon not only made it to the majors, he was a two-time All-Star, and one of the best players in the league. There are many books written about the star players of the game. This book, however, is more than just a story about baseball, and Gordon's story is not limited to the years he played ball. What is unique about "Sid Gordon, An American Baseball Story," are Gordon's contributions off the field. Gordon played a critical, but yet untold role, in the integration of the game an the fight to end discrimination in our society. While Gordon played the game nearly seventy-five years ago, the lessons of his life remain relevant today, not only in sports, but in American society.
