Featured Title: Rowan of the Wood

Husband and wife author team Ethan and Christine Rose have crafted a Young Adult novel, entitled Rowan of the Wood, that blends fantasy and fiction into the life of a 12-year-old social outcast and avid reader named Cullen. Cullen's life takes a turn one day as he stumbles upon a wand in the Redwood forest of California on his way home from school. When he inadvertently releases a powerful wizard, Rowan, Cullen must confront his own fears with this new power and will within him. As Cullen’s middle school troubles and foster home realities meld into those of Rowan’s Gothic romance turned catastrophe fourteen centuries prior, the two realms must sift through the face of danger to recapture what must be lying underneath. Imaginative and poignant, Rowan of the Wood breathes new life into the mythic “orphaned hero” archetype and is the premiere release from Dalton Publishing's Young Adult line Windlass. Recently, Rowan of the Wood was named a Finalist for the 2008 National Best Books Award in the Young Adult Fiction category.
