Wereduck

Name: Wereduck
Availability: InStock

Kate’s family has told her that on her thirteenth birthday she’ll hear the “Whooooo” call of the moon, and howl back, and become a werewolf just like them. But she doesn’t want to be a werewolf. She’s always felt more like a duck. On the night of her thirteenth birthday, Kate stands near her family’s cabin in the backwoods of New Brunswick and hears the moon calling—but it sounds like more of a “Whooooo?” as in “Who are you?” and Kate does what she’s always wanted to do—she quacks. Quack, quack, quacks.

Her family tries to understand Kate’s new full-moon form, but they are busy integrating themselves with some new, edgy werewolves in town.

Engaging, hilarious, and utterly believable, Wereduck is a thrilling addition to the were-canon.

A Pocket of Time: The Poetic Childhood of Elizabeth Bishop

A Pocket of Time: The Poetic Childhood of Elizabeth Bishop, written by Rita Wilson and illustrated by Emma FitzGerald, is a beautifully crafted picture book exploring the childhood of Elizabeth Bishop, one of Canada’s most celebrated poets. Set in Great Village, Nova Scotia, the book follows a young Elizabeth as she experiences both the wonder of childhood and the grief of losing her mother. Wilson blends biographical details with a gentle, poetic rhythm, showing how ordinary observations can become meaningful sources of inspiration.

FitzGerald’s delicate illustrations beautifully capture the warmth and scenic beauty of Nova Scotia. Her vibrant colors and expressive style make the book feel comforting and inviting while bringing Bishop’s childhood world to life.

What I loved most was the way Wilson weaves fragments of Bishop’s poetry into the narrative. The combination of poetry, biography, and illustration gives the book a unique musical quality and makes Bishop’s story feel personal rather than academic. The themes of childhood, family, memory, and curiosity also reminded me of my own childhood and gave the book a comforting sense of nostalgia.

Overall, A Pocket of Time has originality, artistry, and emotional depth. I would recommend it to readers of all ages, especially anyone interested in poetry, art, or beautifully told stories.

I recommend this book.

As Daniel revisits important memories, he begins to understand how his choices have shaped who he is.
