Jimmy knew from the moment he laid eyes on the ad, that he had to ride for the Pony Express: "Wanted: Young, skinny, wiry fellows not over 18. Must be expert riders, willing to risk death daily, orphans preferred. Wages $24 a week ..." And no one was more qualified than Jimmy. He had lived with the Shoshoni for years and had learned their ways. No white boy could ride like Jimmy Spoon. But fifty miles a day isn't an easy ride -- even for him. And the trails are dangerous. Living conditions are primitive; there are outlaws, angry tribes, blistering heat, and below-zero winters. And all along, Jimmy yearns to return to his Shoshoni family, especially to rekindle his friendship with the lovely Nahanee. ** A continuation of the true story of Elijah Nicholas Wilson.

This Royal Diary introduces young readers to the early years of Cleopatra's life. The diary is filled with intrigue and royal power plays. A deadly poisonous serpent is placed in the bed of Cleopatra's father. Skulls and death threats arrive to terrify the young princess. Cleopatra's sisters are strangled or beheaded as they try to wrestle royal position from their weak father. While this all plays out, Cleopatra observes, studies, aids her father, and plans for the day she will be queen. Through her fictional diary walk Marc Antony and Cicero. Julius Caesar, Spartacus, and ancient royal leaders from Nefertiti to Sheba all help to vividly recreate a time Gregory calls "a pivotal period in history." Readers of Cleopatra: Daughter of the Nile will meet a bright, determined, young lady who would never be content to just wear beautiful clothes and jewels and spend her days floating down the river on a fancy boat.

Award-winning author Kristiana Gregory picks up where THE LEGEND OF JIMMY SPOON leaves off, in this fast-paced, robust historical adventure based on the true exploits of Elijah Nicholas Wilson. Salt Lake City, 1860: It's been several years since young Jimmy Spoon returned from living with the Shoshoni and he's restless. Working at the family store is drudgery. He longs to get out of the city, to breathe fresh air, and to sleep under the stars. One day, he sees a newspaper ad: "WANTED: Young, skinny, wiry fellows not over 18. Must be expert riders, willing to risk death daily, orphans preferred. Wages $25 a week ... " It's the chance of a lifetime. And Jimmy knows he's a perfect candidate. After years with the Indians, he can ride a horse like no other white boy. The trail boss hires him on the spot. But riding for the Express isn't easy. A rider must cover 50 miles a day through rugged terrain that exhausts three or four horses on each trip. Living conditions are primitive. There are outlaws, angry tribes, blistering heat and below-zero winters. And all along, Jimmy yearns to return to his Shoshoni family. Especially to rekindle his friendship with the lovely Nahanee. VOYA: " ... terrific ... " SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL: "Exciting ... those who have not read 'Legend' will certainly want to do so after finishing this one."
