Leelo is a young woman who lives with her mother, aunt and cousin. One-night Leelo hears something like a wolf and she goes out searching and she notices the island's boat and a boy in it trying to stay afloat. Leelo meets Jaren and feels something for him. she is not sure what. Leelo's cousin Sage and Aunt Ketty are rule followers and Leelo must always be on her alert when she tends Jaren in a secret place. There are plenty of decisions that Endlans must make everyday. This is a novel full of 'magic' and family and getting to know who and what is around you.

Birds of Color, Flock Together
Birds are everywhere it seems. and this picture seems to show this. I chose to use crayon of various shades blue, red, yellow, and black. Gave this picture an autumn vibe with the red, orange and yellow leaves and leaving a few green that was actually two different shades of green. This could also be a counting activity for some questions could be: Count and circle the Bluebirds and how many? Count the redbirds and underline them or just maybe read a story about birds or make their own birds.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
