As you can see the tension is high … it’s not all business though … the sexual tension is off the chart high as well J The minute they laid eyes on each other the attraction is undeniable and they both knew they are in trouble.

In Seanan McGuire’s Hugo-nominated Middlegame, the early-20th-century alchemist Asphodel Baker uses the pen name A. What appears to be a typical children’s quest fantasy is more than it seems. We are sending the message to our children that the arts simply aren’t important enough to squeeze into our educational system. It breaks my heart to see more and more schools pushing the arts out of their curriculum due to budget cut. In a world where our children are taught that math, science, English and history are the only subjects that matter, it was great to find a book like Frederick where the arts are shown as having equal value. When they are running low on food, they count on Frederick and his special memories of summer to carry them through. Instead, Frederick’s family comes to understand the value of the arts. At first, I thought this book was a reinvention of the “Ants and the Grasshopper” tale where the grasshopper felt like the world owed him a living and that he did not have to work. It is written for children, so the words are simple and there is little writing on each page, but it contains a profound message that I hope parents will choose to share with their children. When the mice begin to run out of food before winter’s end, will Frederick’s stores make a difference? While his brothers and sisters store corn, berries and seeds, Frederick gathers colors, words and sun rays.
