Flight of the Phoenix by R. L. LaFevers

Mulrox and the Malcognitos by Kerelyn Smith

Henry

No Passengers Beyond this Point by Gennifer Choldenko

Tree Home

"I am on my mountain in a tree home that people have passed without ever knowing that I am here. The house is a hemlock tree six feet in diameter, and must be as old as the mountain itself. " —My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George

Ordinary Things

Looking at the world through the fir tree meant seeing only the essential things: the vivid green of the grass, dew glistening on petals, a robin flicking its tail, a squirrel rustling through the rhododendron, a miracle of life and growth that forever pulsed under the ordinariness.
The Spindlers by Lauren Oliver
